Privacy Policy for Pulkit Gahlot Portfolio

Effective Date: June 3, 2026

Welcome to the Pulkit Gahlot Portfolio ("we", "us", or "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and safeguarding of your information when you visit and interact with our website (the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited information to provide a streamlined, efficient, and secure experience. We only collect data that you voluntarily provide to us.

Personal Data

While using our Service, specifically when reaching out via the Contact Form, we may ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information ("Personal Data"). This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Full Name
  • Email Address
  • Subject of Inquiry
  • Message Content

Usage Data

Our Service is built using modern web frameworks (Next.js) and hosted on secure infrastructure. While we do not employ aggressive tracking cookies or intrusive analytics, standard web hosting services automatically collect basic diagnostic data (such as IP addresses, browser types, and access times) to ensure the security and operational health of the website.

2. How We Use Your Data

The Personal Data we collect is utilized strictly for the following purposes:

  • Communication: To read and respond directly to your professional inquiries, messages, and project proposals.
  • Service Maintenance: To monitor the technical stability and performance of our Contact Form.
  • Security: To prevent spam, abuse, or unauthorized access to our systems.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Data to any third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

We employ trusted third-party companies and infrastructure to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"). These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Google Firebase

We utilize Firebase (provided by Google Cloud) as our primary backend infrastructure. When you submit a message via the Contact Form, that data is securely transmitted to and stored within Firebase Firestore databases.

  • Firebase's data privacy and security compliance are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
  • For more information, please visit the Google Firebase Privacy and Security documentation: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

4. Data Retention and Transfer

Retention

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Contact form submissions are retained strictly to maintain a record of correspondence and facilitate ongoing professional communication.

Transfer

Your information may be transferred to—and maintained on—servers located outside of your state, province, or country, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By voluntarily submitting your information via our Contact Form, you consent to this transfer, primarily governed by Google Cloud's secure infrastructure routing.

5. Security of Your Data

The security of your Personal Data is of paramount importance to us. We utilize industry-standard security measures, including HTTPS encryption and secure database access rules, to protect your submissions. However, please be aware 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.

Our Service is intended for a general, professional audience and does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us immediately so we can take necessary actions to remove that information from our servers.
