Privacy Policy

Hey! I'm a beginner at this whole website thing so this is my attempt at creating a privacy policy. 

This website is owned, managed, and operated by Shankar Taramangalam. The data that is being collected on this site is generic user information on pages visited, session times, bounce rates, and other reporting metrics to optimize content for this website. By using this site, you accept the use of our cookies. The data that is being gathered through your use of the site will solely be used for analytics purposes as mentioned above to optimize content for the site.

We collect data using internal Mailchimp reporting and Google Analytics reporting. No personal data will be gathered upon your usage of this site unless you provide it by subscribing to our newsletter or clicking the contact button and sending me a direct email. By using this site, you are NOT automatically subscribed to the email list and we will not have any personal information.

Your information will not be sold to any third party sources. Google Analytics is used to track user behavior and assist with reporting. Any social links that are clicked on will be tracked on our end, but are subject to the social platforms' own privacy policies. The security of your personal information 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 information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our website is hosted through Mailchimp and therefore the servers we use are based in the United States. More information on that can be found on Mailchimp's TOS and Privacy Policy linked here. Users can request to see, delete, change or block any data that I have on them per GDPR standards (however, I won't have any data on specific users like I mentioned before).

Lastly, all changes to this privacy policy will be communicated with upon the user's next visit to the site. This privacy policy goes into effect starting 5/20/2020.
