Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how somenbiswas.com (“this site,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit. This site is operated by Somen Biswas as a personal portfolio and blog.

Information we collect

We collect information in a few limited ways:

• Contact form submissions. When you submit the contact form on the Contact or Hire Me pages, your name, email address, and message are sent to us via Web3Forms, a third-party form processing service, and forwarded to our email inbox. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Analytics. We may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this site — pages viewed, general location (country/city level), device type, and referral source. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information in aggregate and does not identify you personally.
• Advertising. This site may display third-party advertisements, including through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

What we don't do

This site does not require account creation, does not process payments, and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The /admin content manager is password-protected for the site owner only and is not a public user account system.

Third-party links

This site links to NexGuild, xtoolkit.live, StarScoopDaily, and various social media profiles. Each of those is operated separately and governed by its own privacy policy — this policy only covers somenbiswas.com itself.

Cookies

Cookies set on this site are limited to analytics (Google Analytics 4) and, where enabled, advertising (Google AdSense). You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; doing so may affect how analytics and ads function but will not prevent you from using the site.

Data retention & security

Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. We take reasonable measures to protect information in transit (HTTPS) but cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet.

Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you've submitted through the contact form by emailing us at the address below.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
