Privacy policy

Who is responsible

mayankbhadrasen.com is run by Mayank Bhadrasen, an individual based in Boston, MA. I'm responsible for the information described here (the “controller”, in data-protection terms). Contact me about anything on this page at bhadrasen.m@northeastern.edu.

What I collect

When you send the contact form, I receive:

• your name and email address (required),
• a subject (optional) and your message (required),
• the date and time it was sent.

The form also contains a hidden field that people never see. It only exists to catch automated spam bots, which tend to fill it in; any submission with that field filled is discarded.

If you email me directly instead of using the form, I receive whatever you include in that email, handled the same way as form messages.

What I don't collect

• No cookies of any kind, so there is no cookie banner.
• No analytics or visitor tracking (no Google Analytics, no heatmaps, no session recording).
• No advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking pixels.
• Nothing saved in your browser (no localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB).
• No accounts, sign-ins or payment details.

The site reads two browser settings to adapt how it behaves, and keeps neither: whether you prefer reduced motion (which turns off animations) and whether you use a mouse or touch (which turns pointer effects on or off). The 3D scenes are drawn on your own device.

How I use it

Only to read your message and reply to you. I don't add you to mailing lists, use your details for marketing, sell or rent them, or share them with anyone else.

For visitors in the UK and EU: I process form messages because you chose to send them (consent) and so I can answer your enquiry (legitimate interests). You can withdraw consent at any time by asking me to delete your message.

Third-party services

These are every outside service involved in running this site, and what each one sees.

Google stores form messages on my behalf and may process them on servers outside your country, including in the United States, under its own safeguards. My hosting provider may keep its request logs for a limited time for security and reliability; I don't use them to identify visitors.

How long I keep it

I keep messages for as long as they are useful for our conversation, and delete them once they no longer are. You can ask me to delete yours at any time and I will, from both my inbox and the spreadsheet.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS, and form messages travel to Google over an encrypted connection. They are stored in my own Google account, protected by Google's security and my sign-in. No system is perfectly secure, so please don't send sensitive personal information (such as ID or financial details) through the form.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask me to:

• tell you what information I hold about you and give you a copy,
• correct it,
• delete it,
• stop using it.

Email bhadrasen.m@northeastern.edu and I'll respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or California privacy law), you may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority. I don't sell or share personal information as defined by California law, and because the site does no tracking, there is nothing for “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals to switch off.

Links to other sites

The site links to GitHub, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), the live Uniswap V2 demo (hosted on Vercel) and your email app, for mailto: links. Nothing is sent to those sites until you click a link. Once you leave this site, their own privacy practices apply.

Children

This site isn't aimed at children, and I don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes

If how the site handles information changes, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
