Privacy Policy
How your information is collected, used, and protected.
1. Who is responsible?
This policy covers the personal website abhinavranjan.qzz.io, maintained by AR. Abhinav Ranjan. For privacy requests, email legal@abhinavranjan.qzz.io. Website support: help@abhinavranjan.qzz.io.
2. Information you provide
The contact form may ask for your name, email address, optional phone number, enquiry category, and message. If you choose WhatsApp, Telegram, or email instead, the information you send is processed by the selected service or application. Do not send passwords, government ID numbers, financial account details, medical details, or other sensitive information through a general enquiry form.
3. Website contact submissions
If you choose “Submit via Website,” the form sends data to a serverless function hosted through the site's deployment provider. The function is configured to store the message in a separate private GitHub repository, not in the public website repository. The stored record may contain your name, email, optional phone, message, enquiry category, and submission timestamp. The function may process an IP address briefly for rate limiting, but the submission record is not intended to retain the source IP.
Messages are used to respond to your enquiry, keep relevant correspondence, and help prevent abuse. Older records are pruned when a subsequent submission is processed, and the stored file is capped in size. This is event-driven cleanup, not a scheduled deletion guarantee; some records may remain longer if no new submissions occur. You may request deletion by emailing the legal contact with enough detail to locate your message, subject to applicable legal, security, and operational limits.
4. Analytics and browser storage
Google Analytics is optional and is loaded only after you select “Accept analytics” in the site's privacy controls. If you reject analytics, the consent script does not load the Analytics tag. If you withdraw consent, the site attempts to update the consent state and clear Google Analytics cookies; information already sent cannot be recalled. The site may use local storage to remember your choice, session storage for temporary interface state, and a service-worker cache for public assets and offline access. Read the Cookie & Browser Storage Policy.
5. Hosting and third parties
The hosting/deployment provider delivers this website and may process technical request data in accordance with its own terms. Optional analytics is provided by Google after consent. External links and services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, email, GitHub, or social platforms operate under their own privacy and retention policies. The site does not control third-party processing after you use those services.
6. Security and retention limits
Reasonable measures are used for a personal project, including request validation and restricted access to the private submissions repository. No online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. This notice is not a security certification or independent audit.
7. Children and young visitors
This general-audience personal website is not designed to encourage children to submit personal data. Visitors under 18 should involve a parent or guardian before sending personal information. If you believe a child has sent unnecessary personal information, contact the legal email so the request can be reviewed.
8. Requests and applicable law
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you submitted, and you can change optional analytics consent using the cookie settings. Requests are assessed in light of applicable law and the information reasonably available. India's Digital Personal Data Protection framework has phased commencement; this page does not claim that every provision is currently in force or certify legal compliance.
9. Updates
This policy may change when the site or its data practices change. The review date above indicates when the page was reviewed, not that every third-party practice was independently audited.
10. Contact
