Privacy policy

This site is a personal portfolio operated by Durga Vijaya Saradhi. It sells nothing, runs no advertising, and collects as little as it can get away with.

What is collected

The only personal data this site collects is what you type into the contact form: your email address and your message. Nothing else is requested. There is no account system, no login, no newsletter signup, and no hidden field harvesting anything beyond a single honeypot input used to catch automated spam.

Why it is collected

Your email address and message are used for exactly one purpose: so I can read what you sent and reply to it. They are delivered by email through Resend, a transactional email provider, to my own inbox. They are never used for marketing, never used to build a profile of you, and never combined with data from anywhere else.

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no tracking cookies and runs no advertising or analytics trackers that identify you. The one thing stored on your device is your chosen colour theme, kept in your browser's local storage so the site does not flash the wrong theme on your next visit. That value never leaves your device and is never sent to any server.

Who else processes data

  • Vercel — hosts and serves this site, and processes standard request logs.
  • Cloudflare — provides DNS, CDN delivery, and email routing for the domain.
  • Resend — delivers contact-form messages to my inbox.
  • GitHub— the contribution calendar on the homepage is rendered from GitHub's public API. Your visit is not reported to GitHub.

Each of these processes data only as far as it needs to in order to provide that function, under its own privacy policy.

How long it is kept

Contact-form messages live in my email inbox and are kept only as long as the conversation is useful. There is no separate database of submissions — this site stores nothing about you server-side.

Your rights

You can ask what has been stored about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, by writing to [email protected]. Because the only record is an email thread, deletion means that thread is removed.

Automated agents

Automated clients are welcome to read this site. Machine-readable descriptions are published at /llms.txt and /sitemap.xml, and every page will serve a Markdown representation of itself if you request it with an Accept: text/markdown header. Crawl policy is stated in /robots.txt.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site changes. The current version always lives at https://www.saradhi.dev/privacy.
