Privacy Policy

1. Who I am

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal website of Govind Singh (https://www.govindsingh.dev). I own and manage this website personally to showcase my projects, share professional information, and respond to business inquiries submitted through the contact form.

If you have any questions about this policy or would like to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, please contact me at hello@govindsingh.dev.

2. Information I collect

When you submit the contact form, I collect the information you provide directly:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number (optional)
• Selected service type
• Message content, up to 5,000 characters

I may also receive standard technical information associated with website usage, such as IP address, browser information, timestamps, and server log data, as part of hosting, analytics, and security operations.

3. How I use your information

I use the information you submit to:

• Respond to your inquiry and discuss potential work, collaboration, or consulting opportunities.
• Assess fit for projects, services, or business discussions.
• Follow up on project conversations or admin-related communication.
• Manage and maintain the records needed to run the website and contact process.

4. Retention and deletion

Contact form submissions are stored in the website's database until an administrator manually deletes them. Currently, there is no automatic retention period or scheduled deletion process for inactive inquiries.

If you would like to request deletion of your personal information, please email hello@govindsingh.dev and provide enough information to help me identify the relevant submission. I will review the request and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Please note that deleting a record from the primary database may not immediately remove copies held in backups, logs, or systems operated by service providers. Where applicable, those copies are handled in accordance with the relevant retention and deletion procedures.

Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

5. Who can access your information

I am the only person who directly manages contact form submissions for business purposes. My hosting provider, database provider, and analytics provider may also process technical data as part of operating the website and maintaining the services used to run it.

6. Security

I use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect the information submitted through the website, including restricted access and secure hosting practices. The database is protected by the security controls of the hosting provider and the service environment in use, but no system can be guaranteed completely secure.

7. Sharing and transfers

I do not sell your personal information. I do not share contact-form submissions with unrelated third parties for marketing or other commercial purposes. The only processing beyond my direct review is by trusted service providers required to host, store, operate, and analyze the website as needed. I may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the website owner or others.

8. Cookies and analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site and improve performance. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect usage data such as browser information, page interactions, and approximate device information. You may manage cookie preferences in your browser settings.

9. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information I hold about you. If you want to exercise these rights, please contact me at the email above and include the information needed to identify the relevant submission.

10. Policy updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the site, processing practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
