Commitment to Visitor Privacy
This website (https://psv2522.com) is the personal portfolio and professional engineering homepage of Prathmesh Vhatkar. We believe in privacy by default and operate this site with a minimal data footprint. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
1. Information We Collect
A. Voluntarily Submitted Information
When you contact us via direct email (psv2522@gmail.com), telephone, or when you book a meeting via Cal.com, we receive the information you provide (such as your name, email address, phone number, company name, and message details). This information is utilized strictly to communicate with you and evaluate mutual project opportunities.
B. Usage Analytics
To improve site performance, fix technical errors, and optimize content structure, we utilize privacy-focused analytics services:
- Microsoft Clarity: Captures anonymous user behavioral data (such as clicks, scrolling depth, and device viewport) to detect UX friction and broken elements. Sensitive inputs are masked by default.
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4): Aggregated, non-personally identifiable traffic metrics such as page visits, referring domains, browser types, and approximate geographic region (country/city level).
2. Cookies & Local Storage
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies. We utilize browser local storage solely to store your visual theme preference (dark theme vs. light theme) so your preferred theme is preserved across page reloads.
3. Infrastructure & Third-Party Services
Our site is hosted on Vercel's global edge network. When you interact with third-party components (such as Cal.com booking embeds or external social links), those providers operate under their own respective privacy policies.
4. AI Agent Access & Open Protocols
This portfolio explicitly supports open machine-readable protocols, including llms.txt, llms-full.txt, sitemap.xml, and RFC 9110 HTTP content negotiation for Accept: text/markdown. AI assistants, crawlers, and researchers are encouraged to index and digest public portfolio information.
