This policy explains how Sannidhi Bhat (https://sannidhibhat.me) collects, uses, and protects information when you browse the site, use the tools, or send a project enquiry.
Who this applies to
This site is operated by Sannidhi Bhat, based in Mangalore, Karnataka, India · Working worldwide. If you contact me through the form or email, you are providing personal information described below.
Information I collect
Contact enquiries
When you submit the contact form, I collect the details you enter — typically your name, email address, company or project name, project type, and message. This information is stored in Firebase Firestore and may also be forwarded to my email inbox through EmailJS so I can reply.
Usage analytics
The site uses Google Analytics (gtag.js) to understand aggregate traffic, pages visited, and general device/browser information. Firebase Analytics may also be enabled where supported by your browser.
Tools
Utilities such as the QR generator run in your browser. Content you enter for those tools is processed locally unless you explicitly download or share the output.
Technical data
Like most websites, server and hosting logs may record IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps for security and reliability.
How information is used
- Respond to project enquiries and follow up on conversations you start
- Improve site content, performance, and usability
- Monitor security, prevent abuse, and maintain reliable operation
- Understand aggregate audience interest in pages and tools
Legal bases
I process contact submissions based on your request to communicate and on my legitimate interest in operating a professional portfolio and client intake process. Analytics are used based on legitimate interest in understanding site usage; where required, consent mechanisms may apply through your browser or cookie settings.
Sharing and processors
I do not sell personal data. Information may be processed by service providers I use to run the site, including:
- Google Firebase / Firestore — enquiry storage
- EmailJS — email delivery for form submissions
- Google Analytics — usage statistics
- Hosting and CDN providers — site delivery and logs
These providers process data on my behalf according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Retention
Contact submissions are kept for as long as needed to respond, manage a project conversation, or meet reasonable business and legal record-keeping requirements. Analytics data is retained according to the settings configured in Google Analytics.
Security
I take reasonable steps to protect information through reputable providers, HTTPS, and limited access to admin systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your choices
- You can contact me by email instead of the form if you prefer
- You may request access, correction, or deletion of enquiry data where applicable
- You can use browser controls, ad/analytics blockers, or opt-out tools offered by Google
Third-party links
This site links to external profiles and client projects. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which I do not control.
Children
This site is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed at children under 16. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
I may update this policy from time to time. The updated date at the top of this page will reflect the latest version.
