Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting Yogesh Kothari’s portfolio website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

Information We Collect

Personal Data

When you contact us through the website, we may ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

Name
Email address
Phone number (optional)
Message content

Usage Data

We may also collect information on how the website is accessed and used (“Usage Data”). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.

Analytics

This website measures visits with its own first-party analytics. Your browser stores a random visitor identifier and a session identifier in this website’s local storage; no Google or advertising cookies are set. Page views and interactions (for example, opening the AI assistant or a case study) are sent to this website’s own server, which forwards them to Google Analytics 4 for aggregate reporting.

Your IP address is not sent to Google. Approximate location (country, region, city) is derived by our hosting provider and sent instead.
The text of your questions to the AI assistant and of its answers is not sent to Google Analytics.
Google signals and advertising features are turned off for this property.
You can clear the identifiers at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

AI Assistant

Messages you send to the AI assistant are processed by our server and a third-party language model provider (DeepSeek) to generate answers. Operational logs record request sizes, timings and costs, not the content of your messages. Error monitoring (Sentry) may receive technical details when something fails.

Bot Protection

The contact form, the AI assistant and the “Show email address” button use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from automated traffic. When you send a message, start a chat or reveal the email address, Turnstile runs a check in your browser and may ask you to tick a box. Cloudflare processes technical signals such as your IP address and browser details for this check, under its own privacy policy. It sets no advertising cookies.

Use of Data

We use the collected data for various purposes:

To provide and maintain our website
To notify you about changes to our website
To provide customer support
To gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our website
To monitor the usage of our website
To detect, prevent, and address technical issues

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
