Privacy Policy

01Who I am

This website is the personal portfolio of Harshal Gami, a frontend developer based in India. I am the data controller for anything described on this page. You can reach me at ownh136@gmail.com.

02What I collect

The site itself collects very little:

• Emails you send me. If you click an email link and send a message, I receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write. It is handled by your email provider and mine.
• Anonymous usage and speed data. The site uses Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views and records the referring site, country, browser and device type, and Vercel Speed Insights, which measures how fast pages load (Core Web Vitals). Neither uses cookies or builds a profile of you, and I cannot tell individual visitors apart.
• A sound preference. If you turn site sound on or off, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage so it is remembered next time. It never leaves your device.
• Basic server logs. Like any website, the hosting provider may log technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and reliability.

I do not run advertising trackers, and I do not sell or rent personal data. The analytics are used only to see which pages are read and where the site is slow.

03How I use it

I use emails only to reply to you, to discuss work you ask about, and to keep a record of that conversation. I will not add you to a mailing list without asking you first.

04Third parties

The site relies on a few services that may process technical data on their own terms:

• Vercel, which hosts the site and provides its analytics and speed measurements.
• Google Fonts, which supplies the typefaces (fonts are self-hosted at build time by Next.js, so your browser does not contact Google).
• LinkedIn and Instagram, if you click through to my profiles. Their own privacy policies apply from that point.

05How long I keep it

Email conversations are kept for as long as they are useful, typically up to two years after the last message, and then deleted. You can ask me to delete them sooner.

06Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or similar laws) you may have the right to:

• ask what personal data I hold about you and receive a copy;
• ask me to correct or delete it;
• object to or restrict how I use it;
• complain to your local data-protection authority.

Email me and I will respond within 30 days.

07Children

This site is not aimed at children under 13 and I do not knowingly collect their information.

08Changes

If I change how the site handles data I will update this page and the date at the top. Please check back occasionally.
