Privacy Policy
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how barath.pages.dev (this portfolio website, operated by Barath M) collects, uses, and handles information when you visit. This is a personal portfolio site — no accounts, no purchases, no user-generated content.
Short version: This site uses essential cookies to function and optional analytics cookies to understand visitor behaviour. No personal data is sold or shared with third parties. You are in control.
Information Collected
This site does not collect any personally identifiable information automatically. The only data collected falls into two categories:
- Essential data — minimal technical information required for the site to load and function correctly (e.g. your browser type, IP address via server logs managed by Cloudflare Pages).
- Analytics data — aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors interact with pages (e.g. pages visited, time on page, general location). This is only collected if you accept optional cookies.
The contact form on this site collects your name, email address, and message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not stored long-term or shared with any third party.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. This site uses two categories of cookies:
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the site to function. Cannot be disabled. | Cookie consent preference, session state | Required |
| Analytics | Helps understand how visitors use the site so it can be improved. | Page views, session duration, referrer source | Optional |
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will display the consent banner again.
Third-Party Services
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which may process basic request data (such as IP addresses) as part of its infrastructure. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to this processing: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
External links on this site (GitHub, itch.io, live apps) lead to third-party websites. This policy does not cover those sites — please review their respective privacy policies.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Opt out of optional analytics cookies via the cookie banner
- Request deletion of any contact form data you submitted
- Know what data is held about you (none beyond what you voluntarily provide)
To exercise any of these rights, use the contact form on the portfolio or reach out directly.
Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained only for the duration necessary to respond to your inquiry. Analytics data (if consented) is aggregated and anonymised — no individual records are stored. Cookie preference data is stored in your browser only.
Children's Privacy
This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information via the contact form, please get in touch and it will be deleted promptly.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally. The Last updated date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
