Like most websites, the Website and its hosting providers may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as:
IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and general usage data (for example, pages viewed and clicks).
3.3 Cookies and similar technologies
The Website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the Website.
You can usually control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the Website, but the Website should generally remain usable.
4. How Information Is Used
Information collected may be used for the following purposes:
To operate and maintain the Website; to respond to messages and inquiries; to improve content, usability, and performance; to monitor usage and diagnose technical issues; to help prevent spam, abuse, and fraud; and to comply with legal obligations where applicable.
This Website is a personal portfolio site. Information is not collected for unrelated marketing campaigns or sold as a business data product.
5. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR/UK GDPR, where applicable)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or another region with similar laws, personal data may be processed on one or more of the following legal bases:
Your consent; performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (for example, responding to a project inquiry); legitimate interests (such as securing and improving the Website); and compliance with legal obligations.
6. Log Files
The Website may use standard log files maintained by hosting providers and infrastructure services. These logs can include IP addresses, browser information, timestamps, referring/exit pages, and similar technical data. Log data is used for site administration, security, troubleshooting, and aggregate analytics.
7. Third-Party Services
The Website may rely on third-party services (for example, hosting providers, CDN/security services, analytics providers, form/email delivery services, or embedded content providers). These third parties may process technical data as part of delivering their services.
Examples (if used) may include hosting/platform services, analytics tools, spam protection, and embedded content (such as GitHub, LinkedIn, YouTube, or other social/media embeds).
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy and data practices. Please review their policies for more information.
8. Sharing of Information
Personal information is not sold. Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary, such as:
With service providers that help operate the Website; to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Website or others; or when required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request.
9. Data Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal, tax, or security obligations.
For example, contact form messages or emails may be retained for a reasonable period to continue conversations, maintain project history, or comply with legal obligations, after which they may be deleted or anonymized.
10. Data Security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
11. International Data Transfers
Depending on the hosting or service providers used, information may be processed or stored in countries outside your own. Where required, reasonable steps are taken to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.
