PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and handled when you visit this website (sreekarsangam.in) or submit an inquiry regarding custom technology development.
Who Operates This Website
This website is operated by Sreekar Sangam, an independent technology developer based in India.
For any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, your personal information, or to request the deletion of information you have submitted, you may contact the operator directly:
Information You Voluntarily Provide
You may browse this website without providing any personal identification. When you choose to reach out via the interactive contact form on this website, the following fields are collected directly from you:
- Full Name: Used to address you in communications.
- Email Address: Used to respond directly to your technical inquiry.
- Organization / Company Name (Optional): Used to understand organizational context.
- Primary Project Type: Selected engineering category (such as Embedded Systems, Software Systems, AI Systems, Test Automation, or Rapid Prototyping).
- Project Description / Message: The technical requirements, constraints, or problem statement you provide.
How Submitted Information Is Used
Information submitted through this website is used exclusively for:
- Evaluating the technical feasibility and scope of potential engineering projects.
- Communicating with you directly via email or phone regarding your inquiry.
- Preparing project proposals, technical estimates, or commercial agreements where mutually agreed.
Your contact information and project descriptions are not sold, rented, leased, or monetized for advertising purposes.
Technical Information & Hosting Logs
This website does not use tracking cookies, Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking scripts.
Like most web applications, the hosting and edge delivery infrastructure (provided by Vercel) may automatically log standard web request metadata for operational integrity, performance monitoring, and defense against malicious network activity. This technical metadata may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- Browser type and operating system version.
- Uniform Resource Locator (URL) requested and HTTP response status code.
- Date, time, and referring URL header.
Fonts on this website are pre-packaged and served directly from the deployment bundle using Next.js font optimization, meaning your browser does not connect to external Google font servers during page requests.
Infrastructure & Processing Providers
Certain infrastructure service providers are used to host and operate this website. These providers process data on the operator's behalf:
Hosting & Edge Delivery
Hosted on Vercel Inc., which delivers site content and processes incoming API requests through global CDN endpoints.
Email Delivery Transport
Inquiry form submissions are routed via automated Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) through Gmail SMTP / Google email services to deliver the inquiry message to the operator's private mailbox.
Direct Inbox Delivery & Storage
Inquiries are delivered and stored directly within the operator's private Gmail inbox. No external production database service currently stores or archives inquiry records from this website (a dormant integration for Supabase exists in the codebase for potential future use, but is currently deactivated and inactive in production).
Data Retention & How to Request Removal
Inquiry messages and emails are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill legitimate communication needs, evaluate project feasibility, or comply with legal and tax accounting requirements.
If you have submitted your information and wish to have your contact details or project brief removed, you may email sreekar.sangam@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy: Data Deletion Request".
Upon receiving a verified request, reasonable measures will be taken to delete enquiry emails and other active records under the operator's direct control, subject to any applicable legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations. Copies retained in third-party systems or backups, where applicable, may persist for a limited period under the relevant provider's retention and deletion practices and may not be removed immediately when a deletion request is fulfilled.
Security Practices & Limitations
The website uses HTTPS to protect information transmitted between your browser and the website. Access to the email account used to receive enquiries is protected by multi-factor authentication (MFA). Reasonable measures are taken to protect submitted information.
No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can guarantee absolute security. Please avoid submitting highly sensitive, patent-sensitive, or confidential proprietary information through the public contact form before appropriate confidentiality arrangements, such as a mutually executed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), are in place.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (including India under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, or international visitors under respective regulations), you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:
- Requesting confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is processed.
- Requesting access to or correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
- Requesting the erasure of your personal data where no overriding legal or contractual obligation requires continued retention.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact sreekar.sangam@gmail.com.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in site functionality, service providers, or legal obligations. When changes are made, the revised date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
