2. Information I Collect
Contact form: when you send a message, I may receive your name, email address, company name, project details, budget range, and message content so I can reply to your inquiry.
Analytics: this site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand anonymous usage (for example pages viewed, device type, and approximate location). Analytics identifiers may be stored in cookies or similar technologies.
Hosting and media: the site is hosted on Vercel. Uploaded images and videos used on the site may be stored with Vercel Blob and/or Cloudinary. Technical logs from these providers may include IP address and request metadata.
I do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data, and this site is not directed at children under 13.
3. How Information Is Used

To operate, secure, and improve the website (including analytics and performance).
To display portfolio content such as projects, blogs, and reviews.
I do not sell your personal information.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies or similar technologies may be used by Google Analytics and by the site host to measure traffic and keep the service working.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may limit some analytics features but should not prevent you from browsing the public pages.
5. Third-Party Services
This website may rely on trusted providers such as Vercel (hosting and storage), Cloudinary (media), Google Analytics (analytics), and Resend (email delivery for contact form messages).
Those providers process data under their own privacy policies. I only share what is needed to run the site and respond to you.

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and manage professional correspondence.
Analytics data is retained according to the settings of Google Analytics and related tools.
You may ask me to delete contact information you previously submitted, subject to any legal retention needs.
7. Security
I take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information (for example secure hosting and restricted admin access).
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please avoid sending highly sensitive secrets through the public contact form.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided via the contact form, by emailing me.
You may opt out of non-essential analytics cookies via your browser or device settings.
