Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Muhammad Shamim Shoaib ("I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit https://sshoaib.vercel.app (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

The Site is designed to be informative and does not require you to create an account. However, some information may be collected automatically or provided by you voluntarily:

• Usage data. Pages visited, referring URLs, approximate location (country/region), browser and device type, and interaction events, collected through analytics.
• Contact information. Your name, email address, and message when you reach out through the contact form or by email.
• Chatbot input. Text you submit to the AI chatbot to generate a response. This content is processed to answer your query and is not used to identify you.

• To respond to your messages, questions, and collaboration requests.
• To understand how the Site is used and improve its content and performance.
• To provide and maintain chatbot functionality.
• To protect the Site against abuse, spam, and security threats.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

The Site uses Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic and usage trends. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect data such as your IP address (with IP anonymization enabled), device information, and browsing behavior. This data is aggregated and used solely to improve the Site.

You can opt out of analytics cookies by using your browser's cookie controls or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

The Site integrates with trusted third-party providers that may process limited data on my behalf:

• Vercel for hosting and deployment.
• Google Analytics for anonymous traffic measurement.
• GitHub API to display public contribution and language statistics.
• AI providers to power chatbot responses. Messages sent to the chatbot may be transmitted to these providers for processing.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy. I do not sell your personal information.

Information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. I apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information I hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact me using the details below.

This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact me so it can be removed.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, you can reach me at shamim.akhonzada@gmail.com. Please also review the Terms of Service.
