Privacy, cookies and terms.

What I collect. Nothing about you by default. I don't run analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, and the site has no sign-up, comments or contact form.

Server logs. Like any website, the hosting provider may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security and reliability. I don't use these logs to identify or profile visitors.

Private portfolio. The password-protected portfolio page asks for a password. It is checked on the server and is not stored or shared. The page itself is excluded from search engines.

Emailing me. If you email me, I'll use your address and message only to reply. I won't add you to a mailing list or share your details.

Third parties. The GitHub activity shown on the site is fetched on the server from a public GitHub contributions service, so your browser doesn't contact it. Links to other sites, such as GitHub or LinkedIn, are governed by their own policies.

Your rights. Since I don't keep personal data about visitors, there is usually nothing to delete or export. If you emailed me and want that conversation removed, ask and I'll do it.

This site uses very little browser storage, and none of it is for tracking.

• theme (local storage): remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. It never leaves your device.
• palette (local storage): remembers the colour palette you picked with the colour button. It never leaves your device either.
• pf_session (cookie): set only if you unlock the private portfolio. It is an HTTP-only, signed session cookie that expires after 7 days or when you press Lock.

There are no advertising, analytics or social-media cookies, so there is no cookie banner to click away. You can clear this data any time in your browser settings.

By using this site you agree to the following.

• Content. Articles, designs and text are © 2026 Pawan Saini. You may quote short excerpts with a link back. Please don't republish whole posts without asking.

• No warranty. I share what I know in good faith, but posts may be incomplete or out of date. Everything is provided "as is". Test before you use it in production.
