Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy governs the personal portfolio, engineering projects, and technology consulting showcase of Pushkar Patil, accessible at patilpushkarp.github.io.
As a Technology Strategy Consultant bridging complex data ecosystems and business strategy, I treat personal privacy and digital integrity with the utmost seriousness. This document outlines how information is gathered, managed, and safeguarded when you interact with this digital space.
This site exists to showcase professional capabilities, case studies, and engineering philosophy. It is not designed to harvest personal information or monetize web traffic.
Information Collected
When visiting or interacting with this website, the information collected is strictly limited to the following categories:
1. Information Provided Voluntarily
When initiating email conversations, requesting consulting availability, or reaching out via phone or social handles, you may provide details such as your full name, work email address, phone number, company representation, and project briefing notes.
2. Server Logs & Technical Diagnostics
Like virtually all websites hosted on static global CDNs (such as GitHub Pages), certain non-personally identifiable diagnostic parameters are processed by hosting servers. These may include browser user-agent, operating system, generalized geographic region, and HTTP referrer headers.
Purpose of Processing
Any information collected or received is utilized exclusively for legitimate professional functions:
- To evaluate and respond to project inquiries, consulting engagements, or recruitment opportunities.
- To share technical documentation, case study follow-ups, or resume updates upon request.
- To maintain the site's security, detect and prevent malicious automated abuse, and guarantee server reliability.
Third-Party Platforms & Links
This portfolio references external profiles and open-source repositories (notably LinkedIn and GitHub). Clicking on these links will redirect you to external platforms with independent privacy policies and terms of service.
I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the individual privacy standards of those third-party providers upon navigating to their systems.
Data Security & Retention Standards
Reasonable and industry-standard technical measures are implemented to protect all digital interactions. All web traffic to and from this website is encrypted using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).
Personal communications received through email are archived securely and retained only for as long as is necessary to address your project requirements or maintain proper consulting engagement records.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR in Europe and DPDP in India), you possess clear rights regarding your personal correspondence:
- Access & Verification: You may request a confirmation of any contact information retained from prior communications.
- Correction & Rectification: You may update or correct any shared professional contact information.
- Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request that past email exchanges or contact records be completely expunged.
