Privacy
Privacy policy for a personal site that still tries to behave itself.
This page explains what this site collects, what third-party services it uses, and what happens if you contact me.
Who runs this site
This site is operated by Pratik Lal Shrestha. You can reach me through the contact page.
What this site may collect
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when you visit it. That can include things like your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring source, and general usage patterns.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand traffic, page usage, and general site performance. Those services may collect usage and device information automatically when you browse the site.
Analytics helps me understand which pages are useful, which ones are quietly underperforming, and whether the site is working as expected.
Third-party services used on this site
This site currently relies on a few outside services:
- Google Analytics for traffic and usage reporting.
- Vercel Analytics for site performance and traffic insights.
- Google Fonts to load site typography.
- Gravatar for avatar and icon images tied to my public profile.
Those services may process technical request data as part of delivering their functionality.
Email and contact inquiries
If you email me, I will receive whatever information you include in that message. I use that information only to respond to your inquiry, discuss potential work, or continue the conversation you started.
External links
This site links to third-party platforms such as GitHub, WordPress.org, LinkedIn, and others. If you click those links, their privacy practices apply once you leave this site.
How long information is kept
I keep email conversations and related project discussions for as long as they are useful for communication, follow-up, or ongoing work. I do not sell personal information.
Updates
This policy may be updated over time if the site changes, the tooling changes, or I add new services that affect privacy.
