Privacy

The short version: two analytics tools count page views, I never sell anything to anyone, a Google Ads tag counts enquiries that came from my ads, and no ads are shown on the page. If you want the full policy, the section-by-section breakdown is below — what loads, what it stores, and how to switch it off from your browser.

(01) Telemetry — TL;DR

In 30 seconds

This site is a portfolio. It does not collect personal data from visitors. The only thing it records is anonymous page-view counts, through two standard analytics tools that can't tie a visit to a name. That's it.

(02) Setup — Full policy

Section by section

01

What runs when you arrive

Two analytics scripts load with the page: Google Analytics 4 and Yandex Metrica, plus Google's ad-conversion tag, all described below. No ads are shown here, no session replay, no data broker of any kind. Browser-level controls are the way to opt out — see "Analytics".

02

Cookies

The analytics tools set their own cookies to tell one visit from the next — Google's _ga family and Yandex's _ym family. Google's ad-conversion tag adds _gcl_au (and _gcl_aw after an ad click), so Google Ads can tell when a visit that started from one of my ads ended in an enquiry. They hold a random ID, not a name or an email. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone.

03

Analytics

Google Analytics 4 runs with IP anonymisation enabled, and Yandex Metrica runs without session replay or clickmap. They record page views, country-level geolocation, and referrer. Yandex-verified domain only — not loaded for any other site that hotlinks these scripts. To opt out, use your browser's tracker blocking or Do Not Track signal, a content blocker such as uBlock Origin, or Google's official opt-out add-on.

04

Ad conversions

I run Google Ads. When you send the brief form or tap WhatsApp, Calendly or the phone number, Google's tag reports that a lead happened, so I can see which ads bring enquiries. It reports the action, not what you wrote or who you are. No ads are shown on this site. To opt out, use the same browser controls as above, or turn off ad personalisation in your Google account.

05

What I don't collect

No name. No email. No phone. No payment info. This site is a portfolio — the only way to contact me is to send a message yourself, via the Calendly link, email, or WhatsApp (the channels are visible at the bottom of every page).

06

Hosting & CDN

Pages are served by Vercel (static files at the edge). Project images are served by ImageKit, an image CDN. Both will log your IP for the duration of the request as part of normal operation; I don't see those logs unless I debug a specific incident.

07

Chat assistant

The "Ask me anything" chat is answered by an AI, Google Gemini. Nothing is sent until you type a message; then that conversation goes to Google to generate the reply. It runs on Gemini's free tier, so Google may use the messages to improve its products under its own terms — please don't share personal details in the chat. I don't store the conversation; it stays in your browser tab and is gone when you close it. Analytics records only that the chat was used, never what was written.

08

Reviews

The "Read our Google reviews" link goes to our public Google Business Profile. Loading that page is governed by Google's privacy policy, not mine.

09

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you're in the EU, UK, or California, you can ask what data we hold about you and have it deleted. We hold nothing tied to your identity — the analytics data is pseudonymous (a random client ID + IP-prefix only). For a verifiable request, email hello@divyanshsood.com.

10

Changes

If anything here changes materially, I'll update the date at the top of this page. The site does not have a comment system or a mailing list, so there is no in-product way to notify you.

Still have questions?

If something on this page is unclear, or you want a verifiable data request under GDPR / CCPA, email hello@divyanshsood.com — I reply personally within a couple of hours during IST working hours.
