This Privacy Policy explains how Muhammad Rehan (“I”, “me”, or “my”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit itsrehan.dev (“the website” or “website”).
1. Information I Collect
Because this is a personal portfolio website, data collection is kept to an absolute minimum:
- Contact Form Data: When you submit a message through the “Get in Touch” form, I collect your Name, Email Address, and the Message content. This information is sent directly to my email to respond to your inquiry.
- Analytics Data: When you access the website, basic technical logs are processed automatically by Cloudflare (CDN/DNS/Security service) and GitHub Pages (hosting platform). This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and time of request. This data is used solely for security, DDoS protection, and basic traffic analytics.
2. How I Use Your Information
Your information is used strictly for the following purposes:
- To read and respond to your freelance inquiries, project requests, or messages sent via the contact form.
- To maintain site security, prevent spam, and optimize website performance.
- I do not sell, trade, rent, or monetize your personal data.
- I do not send newsletters, marketing emails, or promotional spam.
3. Third-Party Services
This website uses trusted third-party service providers to function efficiently:
- Cloudflare: For DNS, SSL encryption, security mitigation, and basic web performance analytics.
- GitHub Pages: For static website hosting.
- Contact Form Processing Services (Web3Forms): To securely relay your contact form submissions directly to my inbox without storing your messages in a public database.
Each third-party service operates under its own respective privacy policy so please do check that out.
4. Cookies and Tracking
This site does not use invasive advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking scripts. We only use cookies that are absolutely essential for the website’s operation. E.g., Security cookies.
5. Data Security and Retention
Contact form submissions are stored securely in my personal email inbox for as long as necessary to maintain communication regarding our discussions or potential projects. Reasonable technical measures are maintained to keep this communication secure.
