Introduction

Welcome to my portfolio website. I am committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard your information when you authenticate and interact with my site using third-party services such as Clerk for authentication and Plausible Analytics for site analytics, specifically for submitting testimonials, reviews, and in the future, blog comments.

Information I Collect

When you authenticate on my site using Clerk, which handles Google OAuth, I collect the following information:

• User Information: Your email address and basic profile information (such as your name and profile picture) provided by Clerk when you authenticate using Google OAuth.

Additionally, I use Plausible Analytics to gather website usage data. Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect any personal data. It operates in a privacy-friendly way, collecting only anonymized usage data such as:

• Page views
• Referral sources
• Browser and device types

This data is used solely to analyze website traffic and improve user experience.

How I Use Your Information

The information collected is used for the following purposes:

• Testimonials and Reviews: To allow you to submit testimonials or reviews on my portfolio.
• Future Blog Comments: To enable you to leave comments on my blog once it is launched.
• Site Analytics: To analyze anonymized data and improve the performance and content of the site (via Plausible Analytics).

Sharing Your Information

I do not share your personal information with third parties, except in the following circumstances:

• With Service Providers: Clerk handles authentication, and Plausible Analytics provides site traffic analysis. Neither of these services collect or share your personal information in a way that identifies you as an individual.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
• Protection of Rights: To protect and defend my rights or property.

Data Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You can request access to the personal information I hold about you.
• Correction: You can request to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: You can request to delete your personal information.

To exercise these rights, please contact me at sudo.hroot@gmail.com.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
