Privacy Policy

1. Information you choose to share

You can browse this website without creating an account or giving any personal information. I only receive personal information when you choose to send it to me.

• Start a Project: your name, your email address and details about your project. Optionally, you can add:
  • your company
  • a phone number
  • a website
  • a budget range and timeline
  • supporting files
• General Contact: your name, your email address, the reason you are getting in touch, and your message. This also covers the contact form in the research section.
• Testimonials: your name and testimonial. Optionally, you can add your role, company, website and email address.
• Blog comments: your name, your email address and your comment.
• Newsletter: your email address.

When you send a contact or project form, you receive an automatic email confirming that your message arrived.

2. Files you upload

The Start a Project form lets you attach files that help explain your project, such as a brief, wireframes, screenshots or a presentation. The form shows which file types and sizes are accepted.

• Uploaded files are kept in private storage and are not publicly accessible.
• Only I can open them, and they are used only to understand your project.
• When your inquiry is deleted, its files are deleted with it.

Please do not upload passwords, access credentials, payment details or other highly sensitive information.

3. Testimonials and comments

Testimonials and blog comments are reviewed before they are published. Some are never published.

• A published testimonial shows your name, your testimonial, and any role, company or website you provided.
• A published comment shows your name and your comment.
• Your email address is never shown publicly.

4. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this site receives basic technical information when you visit, including:

• your IP address
• your browser and device type
• the pages you request and the page that referred you

This information is used to keep the website running, secure and free of spam.

The website also uses privacy-friendly measurement:

• Usage and performance statistics are collected by my hosting provider’s analytics, Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights. They show how many people visit and how quickly pages load. According to Vercel, these services do not use cookies.
• A small number of actions are counted, such as clicking “Start a Project” or sending a form. These counts use a random identifier stored in your browser, which is not linked to your name or email address. They are deleted automatically after one year.

There is no advertising on this website, and no tracking of you across other websites.

5. Cookies and browser storage

The public website does not use advertising, analytics, marketing or other non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are used only where needed to operate secure, restricted areas of the website. They are not used to track visitors.

The website may also store a few small items in your browser:

• your light or dark theme choice, if you change it
• the random identifier described above
• copies of public pages and images, so the site loads faster on later visits

You can clear or block cookies and site data at any time in your browser settings. The website will continue to work, although your theme choice will be reset.

6. Site search

When you use the site search (Ctrl + K or ⌘ K), what you type is sent to the website so it can return matching public pages. Searches are used only to show results and are not kept as a search history.

7. Research demos

• Processing: the face detection and object detection demos process your images and camera feed locally in your browser. They are not uploaded to or stored on my servers.
• Camera: the face detection demo only uses your camera after you start it and allow camera access in your browser. It stops when you stop the demo or leave the page. You can withdraw camera permission at any time in your browser settings.
• Model download: the object detection demo downloads its detection model from Google’s servers the first time it runs. As with any download, Google receives standard request information such as your IP address. Your image is not sent.

8. How your information is used

Information you submit is used to:

• understand your request and respond to you
• discuss your project requirements
• communicate about potential work
• publish testimonials and comments that you submit for publication
• send newsletter emails, if you subscribed

Contact and project details are not added to a mailing list or used for marketing. Personal information is not sold, rented or used for advertising.

9. When information is shared

Your information is shared only with service providers that help run the website, such as hosting, storage and email delivery providers, and only as needed for them to provide their service. These providers may process information in other countries.

I may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the website and its visitors from fraud or abuse.

When you follow a link to another website, such as GitHub or LinkedIn, that website’s own privacy policy applies.

10. How long information is kept

Information is kept for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, carry out any work we agree on, maintain records, meet legal obligations or resolve disputes. You can ask for it to be deleted sooner, as described below.

11. How information is protected

Reasonable technical and organisational measures protect your information. These include encrypted connections, restricted access, and private storage for uploaded files. No website can guarantee complete security, so please avoid sending highly sensitive information through the forms.

12. Your choices and rights

You can contact me at any time to:

• ask what personal information I hold about you
• correct inaccurate information
• ask for your messages, files, testimonial, comments or newsletter subscription to be deleted
• unsubscribe from the newsletter

Please use the General Contact form, ideally with the same email address you used before, so I can find your information. I may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

13. Children

This website is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has sent personal information, please get in touch and it will be deleted.

14. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the website changes. The “Last updated” date above shows when it last changed.

15. Contact

For any questions about this policy or your personal information, please use the General Contact form or email contact@amiteshmaurya.com.
