Privacy Policy.

1. Overview

This website (Hanan Bhatti) is a personal portfolio. We value your privacy and believe in keeping data collection minimal, transparent, and first-party. All collected data remains on our servers — we do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third parties.

2. Data We Collect

If you consent to analytics cookies, we collect first-party analytics data to understand how visitors interact with this site. This includes:

  • Hashed IP address (fingerprinted using a salted SHA-256 hash to identify repeat visits; we never store your raw IP address).
  • Page views (pages visited and timestamps).
  • Estimated visit duration (seconds spent on a page).
  • Geolocation data (country and city estimated from IP before it is hashed).
  • Device parameters (device type, browser name, and operating system).

If you do not accept analytics cookies (or choose "Essential Only"), we only track the visitor fingerprint, page views, and duration. We do not track country, city, device, browser, or operating system for essential-only visits.

3. Contact Form Submissions

When you submit a contact form, we collect the details you provide: your name, email address, subject, and message. This information is stored securely in our database and is used solely to respond to your inquiry. To help us block spam and abuse, we associate your message with your visitor ID, but this link is kept entirely private and secure.

4. Cookies

We use first-party cookies to store your cookie consent preferences:

  • cookie_consent: Stores whether you accepted analytics ("all") or essential-only ("essential") tracking. Expiries after 365 days.

5. Data Security & Storage

We run all tracking services directly on our own host/database infrastructure. Data is stored securely on our first-party servers and is never shared, sold, or distributed.

6. Contact Information

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or would like to request deletion of your messages/visit data, please reach out via email at hannanbhatti2006@gmail.com.
