Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 30, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Vinay Kumar's portfolio and services website (the "Site"). I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy will inform you as to how I look after your personal data when you visit my website and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

2. Information I Collect

I may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which I have grouped together as follows:

Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier.
Contact Data includes email address and telephone numbers.
Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
Usage Data includes information about how you use my website, products and services.

3. IP Capturing for Security Purposes

Security and Fraud Prevention: As part of my commitment to maintaining a secure environment for all users, I actively monitor and capture IP addresses and browser fingerprints. This data is strictly used for security purposes, including but not limited to:

Detecting and preventing fraudulent activities and unauthorized access.
Mitigating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and malicious bot activities.
Ensuring the integrity of my contact forms, API endpoints, and communication channels.
Analyzing traffic patterns to block suspicious behavior.

I do not use your IP address to personally identify you for marketing purposes, but I may share this information with law enforcement agencies or security partners in the event of a security breach or illegal activities.

4. How I Use Your Personal Data

I will only use your personal data when the law allows me to. Most commonly, I will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

Where I need to perform the contract I am about to enter into or have entered into with you (e.g., providing an estimate or delivering software development services).
Where it is necessary for my legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
Where I need to comply with a legal obligation.

5. Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

6. Data Security & PII Protection

I have implemented strict security controls and policies to protect all visitor Personally Identifiable Information (PII) submitted on this site:

Encryption at Rest: All sensitive visitor PII (phone numbers, message content) is encrypted using AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption before database storage.
Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the Site is protected over TLS/HTTPS with HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enforced.
Strict Input Validation & Sanitization: Server-side validation rules, control-character stripping, and XSS sanitization filters are applied to all incoming form submissions to eliminate injection vulnerabilities.
Anti-Bot & Abuse Mitigation: Submissions are protected via Cloudflare Turnstile token validation, honeypot traps, and IP-based rate limiting to prevent automated scraping, spam, or brute force attacks.
Redacted Logging: Raw personal data (emails, phone numbers) is automatically redacted before any log operations to prevent accidental data leaks in application logs.

7. Data Retention

I will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes I collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.
