Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how this website (navinbhutani.com) handles information when you visit. This is a personal portfolio website. It does not use cookies, advertising networks, or visitor analytics software. The site collects no personal information directly.

1. Information This Site Does Not Collect

This website does not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics). No personal data — including your name, email address, or browsing behavior — is collected, stored, or shared by this site.

2. Google Fonts

The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy pages on this site load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When your browser requests a font file, Google's servers receive your IP address and browser information as part of the standard HTTP request. This data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy. Navin Bhutani does not receive or have access to this data.

3. Web Hosting (GitHub Pages)

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc. Like all web hosting providers, GitHub may automatically record standard server log data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages requested, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used solely for security and operational purposes and is not linked to your identity. GitHub's handling of this data is governed by GitHub's Privacy Statement.

4. Google Search Console

This site is registered with Google Search Console, a free tool provided by Google that shows how the site performs in Google Search results. Search Console does not place any code or cookies on this website. Data visible in Search Console (such as search queries and click counts) is aggregated by Google from its own search infrastructure and is not tied to individual visitors.

5. Contact

If you reach out via the contact form or email link on this site, your message will be received directly by Navin Bhutani and will not be shared with third parties. Your contact information will only be used to respond to your inquiry. Contact messages are not retained beyond the period reasonably necessary to respond.

6. Data Security

Navin Bhutani takes reasonable precautions to protect information handled through this site. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While efforts are made to use commercially acceptable means to protect any information received, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

7. Data Retention

This site does not store personal data. Server log data retained by GitHub Pages is subject to GitHub's own retention policies. Any contact messages received directly are retained only as long as necessary to respond to the inquiry and are not stored in any database or CRM.

8. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and Navin Bhutani does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through this site, please contact Navin Bhutani via the main page so it can be addressed promptly.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites not to track your online activity. Because this site does not track visitors in the first place, its behavior does not change in response to DNT signals.

10. California Residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may afford you certain rights regarding personal information. Because this site does not collect, sell, or share personal information, there is generally no personal data to access, delete, or opt out of selling. If you have questions about your rights or believe personal information about you has been collected, please contact Navin Bhutani via the main page.

11. Your Rights

Since this site does not collect personal data, there is generally nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have any privacy-related questions or concerns, please reach out via the contact information on the main page.

12. Severability

If any provision of this Privacy Policy is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be deemed severed from this Policy and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.

13. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

14. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated if the site's technology or data practices change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
