Privacy Policy

TL;DR

This is a personal portfolio site. I collect minimal data: anonymous analytics to understand what pages people read, and whatever information you choose to send me via the contact form. I do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone. Full details below.

1. Who controls your data

This site is operated by me, Kamal Hosen. I am the data controller for any personal information collected through this site.

If you have questions or want to exercise your data rights, email me at:

hi@kamalhosen.com

2. Analytics

I use Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager) to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, where traffic comes from, and what devices people use. This helps me improve the site.

Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors. IP addresses are anonymized (IP masking is enabled). No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing theGoogle Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

3. Contact form

When you submit the contact form, the data you provide — your name, email address, and message — is sent to me via email. This data is processed through Fluent Forms, which stores the submission in a WordPress database.

What I do with it: I use it solely to respond to your message. I do not add your information to any marketing list, share it with third parties, or use it for anything other than our conversation.

Retention: I keep contact form submissions for up to 12 months after our last correspondence, after which they are deleted. If we end up working together, your information is retained as part of our working relationship.
