If comments are enabled and you leave a comment on an article, the site may collect your comment, name, email address, website address, IP address and browser information. If you choose to save your details for future comments, WordPress may store a cookie in your browser.
Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, confidential client data or other sensitive information through the contact or comment forms.

This information is used to understand how the website is used, maintain security, prevent abuse and improve its content and performance.
How I use your information
I may use personal information to:
– Reply to enquiries and discuss potential projects
– Provide requested services or take steps before entering into a contract

I do not use contact-form details to add you to a marketing list unless you have clearly agreed to receive such messages.
Legal grounds for processing
Depending on where you live and why the information is processed, I rely on one or more of the following grounds:
– Consent: for non-essential cookies, analytics or communications where consent is required. You may withdraw consent at any time.
– Steps before a contract or performance of a contract: when you ask about a project or become a client.
– Legitimate interests: to respond to genuine business enquiries, improve the website, understand overall performance and protect it from misuse.
– Legal obligations: where records must be kept or information must be disclosed under applicable law.
Analytics and cookies
This website uses Google Analytics 4 through Google Site Kit to understand general website usage. Google Analytics may process pseudonymous information about page views, traffic sources, device and browser type, approximate location and interactions with the website.
Where consent is required, analytics storage should remain disabled unless and until you make a choice. You can reject or withdraw consent through the website’s cookie controls, where available, and you can also restrict cookies through your browser settings.
The website may also use cookies or similar storage that are necessary for security, form operation, comment preferences or basic website functionality. Blocking essential cookies may affect parts of the site.
Google explains how it handles information in the [Google Privacy Policy]( https://policies.google.com/privacy ).
Hosting and service providers
I use trusted providers to operate the website and process information on my behalf or as independent service providers. These may include:
– Hostinger for website hosting, content delivery, backups, security and server logs
– Google Analytics and Google Site Kit for website analytics and measurement
– WordPress and website-form software to process contact messages and comments
– My email provider to receive and reply to enquiries
These providers process information according to their own terms, privacy policies and security practices. I give providers access only where it is reasonably needed to operate the website or deliver a requested service.
External links and services
The website links to third-party platforms, including pCloud, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, X, YouTube, GitHub, WordPress.org and websites related to my projects or case studies.
When you follow one of these links, the third party may receive information such as your IP address, device information and the page that referred you. Any information you submit directly to that platform is governed by its own privacy policy. I do not control the privacy practices of external websites.
Case-study documents opened through pCloud are delivered by pCloud and are subject to the [pCloud Privacy Policy]( https://www.pcloud.com/privacy_policy.html ).
When information may be shared
I do not sell or rent personal information.
Information may be shared only:
– With service providers needed to host, secure, analyse or operate the website
– With professional advisers where reasonably necessary
– When required by law, regulation, legal process or a valid government request
– To investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents or threats to someone’s rights or safety
– As part of a business transfer, if ownership of the website or related business changes, subject to appropriate confidentiality measures
International data transfers
I am based in India, while some visitors and service providers may be located in other countries. Your information may therefore be processed outside your country, including in countries with different data-protection laws.
Where required, I take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and appropriate safeguards for international processing.
How long information is kept
I keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected.
– Ordinary enquiries may be retained for up to 24 months after the last communication.
– Client and transaction records may be retained for longer where needed to provide services or meet legal, accounting and tax obligations.
– Comments may remain on the website until they are removed or the related article is deleted.
– Analytics and server-log information is retained according to the settings and policies of the relevant provider.
Information may be deleted earlier when it is no longer needed, or retained longer when required by law or necessary to resolve a dispute.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have the right to:
– Ask whether I hold personal information about you
– Request access to or a copy of that information
– Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
– Ask for information to be deleted
– Request that processing be restricted
– Object to certain uses of your information
– Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
– Request data portability where applicable
– Complain to the data-protection authority in your country
To make a request, contact me using the privacy email above. I may need to verify your identity before completing a request. These rights may be limited in some situations, such as when information must be retained to comply with law or defend a legal claim.
Security
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. However, no website, email system or online transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children’s privacy
This website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website, please contact me so I can review and remove it where appropriate.
Changes to this policy
I may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
