Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 1st Jan 2024
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.tskamath.com.
This site is the personal blog and digital portfolio of Srikanth Kamath, covering technology tutorials, software architecture, and photography.
2. Personal Data We Collect
We believe in minimalism—both in code and in data collection. We only collect the following data:
A. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (Name, Email, Website), and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
- Gravatar: An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. (The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here).
B. Contact Forms & Newsletters
If you contact us via email or subscribe to a future newsletter, your email address will be stored solely for the purpose of replying to your inquiry or sending you the updates you requested. We do not sell or share your email with third parties.
3. Cookies & Analytics
A. Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
B. Analytics
This website may use tools like Google Analytics or Jetpack to understand how visitors engage with the content (e.g., which tutorials are most popular). These tools collect anonymous data such as your IP address, browser type, and time spent on pages. This data helps me improve the content and server performance.
4. Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, Tweets, or Flickr images). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
- These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
5. How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- Logs: Server logs containing IP addresses are typically retained for a limited period for security and debugging purposes before being overwritten.
6. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
7. Contact Information
For any privacy-specific concerns, you can contact the site owner directly: Email: srikanth@tskamath.com
