What this site collects, who processes it, and how to ask about it.

## Who runs this site

Ayush Rai runs this site as a personal website. There are no accounts, no paid plans, no advertising, and no newsletter sign-up on it. Questions about this page go to ayushrai0211@gmail.com.

## Analytics

Every page loads Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4. They record which pages you view, some clicks, and the browser, device, referrer, and approximate location data Google collects by default. Google sets cookies so it can tell repeat visits apart. Google keeps that data under its own terms and the property's retention setting.

When the site is served from Vercel, Vercel Web Analytics also counts page views. It does not set cookies.

## Hosting and server logs

The site is static HTML served by Netlify, and may also be served by Vercel. Like any web host, they process your IP address, user agent, and the URL you requested in order to deliver the page and protect the service. The public search and project API runs on the same hosts and is logged the same way. None of it requires an API key or identifies you to me.

## Contact form and email

The contact form sends your name, email address, chosen intent, and message to a serverless function, which delivers it to my inbox through SendGrid. This site does not store the message in a database. Your email address is used only to reply to you and is not added to any mailing list.

If you email me directly or book a call through Calendly, those services handle the message or booking under their own privacy policies.

## Stored in your browser

If you switch between light and dark themes, the choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the key "theme". It never leaves your device.

## Your requests

To ask what I hold from your messages, or to have that correspondence deleted, email ayushrai0211@gmail.com. Requests about Google Analytics data can also go to Google directly, and Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of Analytics.
