Plain-English
privacy policy.

This site (yashrajjain.in) is operated by Yashraj Jain — an independent software engineer based in Bangalore, India. There is no team, no agency, no parent company. When the policy says 'I' or 'me', it means me — Yashraj.

If you have any privacy question, the fastest way to reach me is email at yashrajjain726@gmail.com.

Inquiries. When you email me, book a Calendly slot, or message on WhatsApp, I receive whatever you choose to share (name, email, company, role details). I use it only to reply and follow up about a potential role.

Google Analytics (GA4), delivered through Google Tag Manager. With your consent, the site measures page views, article engagement, search result counts, and actions such as opening the résumé or Calendly. Opening a contact link is recorded as intent, not a completed booking or message. A meeting booked inside the scheduling page is recorded only after Calendly confirms it. Search text, email addresses, phone numbers, booking identifiers, and contact-link URLs are not sent to GA4. GA4 may set first-party cookies. Google tracking loads only after you allow analytics.

Calendly. The scheduling page loads Calendly’s calendar to complete your booking. Calendly receives the details you enter and applies its own privacy and cookie choices. You can book without enabling this site’s Google Analytics. When analytics is allowed, a one-way digest in session storage prevents duplicate booking measurements in the same tab; no booking details are stored there.

Campaign attribution. With analytics consent, approved campaign labels in shared links help identify which channels bring visits and bookings. Only labels registered for this portfolio are included; arbitrary query text and personal details are excluded. The site does not add separate campaign cookies or store campaign labels before consent.

Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. These run regardless of the banner choice. They are cookie-less, aggregate page views and Core Web Vitals, and do not build individual user profiles or sell data.

Logs. My hosting provider (Vercel) records standard request logs (IP, user agent, response code) for security and reliability. Those logs are retained for a short period and not used for marketing.

No advertising cookies. No retargeting pixels. No fingerprinting. No precise location data beyond the country-level signal analytics providers use for routing.

I do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for advertising — ever.

Inquiries I have engaged with are kept until the engagement is complete plus 24 months for tax, contract, and reference purposes. Inquiries that go nowhere are deleted within 12 months.

GA4 data is retained according to Google's policy (default 14 months, configurable in the GA4 property). Vercel Analytics data is retained according to Vercel's policy (currently 1 month at the highest resolution).

You can ask me at any time to: confirm what data I hold about you, export a copy, correct it, delete it, or restrict its processing. I respond within 30 days. Most requests are handled within 72 hours.

If you are based in the EU, UK, or California you have additional rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA respectively — including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

If you accept analytics in the cookie banner, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies to distinguish sessions. If you decline, those cookies are not set.

Vercel may set essential cookies for security (e.g., DDoS protection). These do not require consent under GDPR.

You can change your analytics preference at any time using Enable analytics or Disable analytics in the footer. Disabling stops Google Analytics collection and removes this site's Google Analytics cookies.

This site is not aimed at children under 16. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided me with personal information, email me and I will delete it.

If I make material changes to this policy, the effective date at the top will change. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
