Privacy & Legal

Here is how sachinchauhan.dev handles your info, what it puts in your browser, and the ground rules for using the site.

Privacy Policy

I only collect what I actually need to reply to you and to get a rough sense of how people are finding the site. I don't sell your info, and none of it goes to ad networks.

What the contact form collects

  • Your name, email, an optional phone number, a subject, and your message.
  • A bit of context about your visit: where you came from, the page you landed on, any UTM tags, your timezone, language, screen size, device type, and user agent.

That context helps me figure out which links are actually working and whether the site holds up on the devices people are on. It stays with your message so I have the picture when I reply.

How I use it

  • To write back and keep the conversation going.
  • To keep spam out, which mostly means blocking throwaway inboxes.
  • To fix rough edges on devices and browsers I wouldn't have tested otherwise.

How long I keep it

Messages stick around while we're still in touch, and for up to 24 months after that. Then they go. If you want yours deleted sooner, just ask.

Your rights

Want to see what I have on you, correct something, or have it wiped? Email sachinchauhan19@outlook.com and I'll sort it out. I usually get back within a few days.

Data Protection

Everything you submit goes over HTTPS and lands in a database behind a server-side API. The site is a Next.js front-end that proxies requests to the backend, so your browser never sees the backend credentials.

  • TLS on every request.
  • Only I can read the stored messages.
  • No ad or cross-site tracking cookies.
  • Hosting and media sit with providers that run their own security.

If something ever leaks: I'll email you at the address you gave me, explain what happened, and fix it as fast as I can.

Cookie Policy

The site keeps very little in your browser, and nothing for ads or cross-site tracking.

Theme preference

Local storage remembers whether you picked light or dark so the next visit looks the same. Clear site data if you want to reset it.

Session analytics

Session storage holds the page you landed on and where you came from, but only while the tab is open. Close the tab and it's gone.

Feel free to turn storage off in your browser. The site still works, but the theme will snap back to your system setting every time you open it.

Terms of Service

Using the site

This is my personal portfolio. Read it, share links, drop me a line. Please don't hammer it with scrapers, poke around non-public endpoints, or pretend to be me (or anyone else) through the contact form.

Credit where it's due

The writing, design, screenshots, and case studies here are mine unless I've said otherwise. Brand names and logos belong to whoever owns them. Quote with credit and a link back and we're good. If you want to repost a full piece, please ask first.

No promises

This site is just here to show my work. Anything I describe about past projects was specific to that engagement, so don't read it as a guarantee of what you'd get.

Changes

I'll tweak this page as the site grows. The date at the top is whenever I last touched it.

Got questions?

Email me or use the contact form. Happy to walk through anything on this page.
