Privacy Policy

Your privacy is fundamentally respected. This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Gyanranjan Priyam ("Developer", "I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information gathered from users of priyam.tech, gyanranjanpriyam.tech, and associated digital services.

I do not sell, rent, monetize, or broker personal visitor data to third-party ad networks or data aggregators. Data collection is kept strictly minimal, transparent, and solely functional to operate this portfolio and deliver software engineering services.

Information You Voluntarily Provide

When you interact with the contact forms, send an email, submit an estimate calculation, or book an appointment, we may collect:

• Your name, email address, company name, and project budget/scope selections.
• Meeting notes, project specifications, or architectural briefs you provide.
• Cal.com scheduling details (timezone, selected appointment slot, attendee email).

Automated Technical & Diagnostic Data

When you browse the website, standard non-identifying telemetry may be recorded by our edge infrastructure and privacy-conscious analytics (Ahrefs Analytics), including:

• Anonymized IP address and approximate country/region (to optimize edge CDN routing).
• Browser type, operating system version, and device viewport dimensions.
• Referring URL, pages visited, timestamp, and session duration.
• Core Web Vitals metrics (LCP, FID/INP, CLS) to monitor performance.

The information gathered is processed for specific, legitimate business purposes:

• To respond to client inquiries, prepare project estimates, and schedule discovery calls.
• To design, develop, and deliver bespoke web and software engineering projects.
• To monitor website performance, diagnose technical errors, and optimize loading speeds.
• To safeguard the website against automated spam, bot attacks, and security vulnerabilities.

Zero Behavioral Advertising Cookies

This website does not employ third-party advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or remarketing pixels (e.g. Meta Pixel, Google Ads).

Essential LocalStorage & SessionStorage

We utilize minimal browser storage for essential client-side application state:

• Theme Preference: Your selected theme mode (light or dark) is stored locally in your browser's localStorage so your preference persists across page reloads. This data never leaves your device.
• Session Animation State: Session storage may be used to manage splash loader animation state so you aren't interrupted repeatedly during a single browsing session.

We rely on reputable infrastructure providers to operate this web application securely:

• Vercel Inc. — Global edge hosting, serverless compute, and Content Delivery Network (CDN).
• Cal.com, Inc. — Privacy-first open scheduling infrastructure for video and discovery calls.
• Ahrefs Webmaster Tools — Cookieless, privacy-focused traffic and performance analytics.
• Cloudflare, Inc. — DNS routing, SSL/TLS certificate management, and DDoS defense.
• Stripe & Razorpay — PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processing when client invoices are paid electronically. We never store or process raw payment card credentials on our servers.

All web traffic to priyam.tech is encrypted in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS). Appropriate administrative and technical safeguards are implemented to protect your communications against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.

Correspondence and project scoping notes are retained only for as long as necessary to complete client obligations, maintain financial compliance records, or resolve mutual warranty queries, after which they are securely archived or expunged.

Depending on your jurisdiction—including rights granted under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act 2023)—you have the following rights:

• Right of Access: Request confirmation and copies of personal data held about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal records.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal communications.
• Right to Restrict or Object: Restrict processing of your data under specific conditions.
• Right to Data Portability: Request transfer of your data to yourself or another service provider.

To exercise any of these statutory rights, please email hello@priyam.tech. Inquiries are addressed within 30 calendar days at no charge.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our legal obligations, service enhancements, or technological integrations. When updates occur, the "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of this document will be updated. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
