1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how susmitlaha.com (“the Website”) handles information when you visit it or get in touch. The Website is a personal portfolio, and privacy is a core value of its owner: I collect as little data as possible and I do not use analytics, trackers, or sell data.
2. Information I Collect
Information you send me. The Website has no account system. If you email me at [email protected] or message me through LinkedIn, I receive your name, email address, and whatever you choose to include. I use it only to reply to you.
Technical information. Like most websites, the server that hosts the Website may automatically log your IP address, browser type, device, pages requested, and the date and time of your visit. These logs are kept by my hosting provider for security and troubleshooting, not for analytics.
What I do not collect. I do not use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), advertising trackers, or tracking pixels. I do not sell or rent personal data or build profiles of visitors.
3. Cookies
The Website is built with WordPress and Elementor. These may set essential cookies or local storage that help pages load and display correctly. I do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the Website should still work.
4. Third-Party Services
The Website relies on a few third-party services that may receive limited technical data, such as your IP address, when you load a page:
- Hosting provider and WordPress infrastructure, which serve the Website.
- Cloudflare, which provides email address protection (the site hides my email address from spam bots) and may provide security or performance services.
- Google Fonts, which delivers the typefaces used on the Website. Google may receive your IP address when fonts load.
- LinkedIn, which I link to for contact. If you click through, LinkedIn’s own privacy policy applies.
I do not control how these services handle data. Please review their privacy policies.
5. How I Use Information
- To respond to your emails and messages
- To discuss projects, collaborations, or opportunities
- To keep the Website secure and working
- To meet legal obligations
6. Sharing of Information
I do not sell your information. I share it only with service providers needed to run the Website and email, with authorities when required by law, or to protect my legal rights.
7. Data Retention
Emails and messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your request or ongoing conversation, then deleted on request or when no longer needed. Server logs are kept by the hosting provider for a limited period under its own policy.
8. Security
I take reasonable steps to protect your information. No internet transmission or storage is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights
Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and, for visitors in the EU/UK, the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal data I hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Ask me to delete your data
- Withdraw consent
- Complain to a data protection authority
Email [email protected] to use these rights. I aim to reply within 24 hours and will act on valid requests within a reasonable time.
10. Children
The Website is not meant for children under 18, and I do not knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has sent me information, tell me and I will delete it.
11. Links to Other Sites
The Website links to external sites such as LinkedIn. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
12. Changes
I may update this policy. Changes appear on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
