Privacy Policy

1) Overview

This website is owned and operated by Ceciltan as a personal web developer portfolio (ceciltan.com). The site showcases my work and provides a way to contact me for professional opportunities. I respect your privacy and process personal data in accordance with applicable laws, including the GDPR and the CCPA.

2) Information I Collect

A. Information You Provide

When you reach out (e.g., via a contact form or email), you may provide:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Any other details you include in your message or project brief

I use this information solely to reply, discuss projects, and maintain professional correspondence.

B. Automatically Collected Information

When you browse the site, non-identifiable technical data may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address, browser type, operating system, and device
  • Pages visited, time on page, and referring URLs
  • Cookies or similar technologies (see Cookies & Analytics)

This helps me understand traffic patterns and improve the site’s performance and design.

3) How I Use Information

  • Responding to your inquiries and maintaining professional communication
  • Improving site performance, usability, and accessibility
  • Preventing spam or abuse (e.g., basic rate limiting and security checks)
  • Operating and securing the website and hosting infrastructure

I do not sell your personal data or use it for targeted advertising.

4) Cookies & Analytics

This site may use cookies to remember preferences and measure usage. I may use privacy-respecting analytics or standard tools such as Google Analytics to understand aggregate, non-identifying traffic trends.

Managing Cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Common paths:

  • SettingsPrivacyCookies
  • Clearing cookies and site data may sign you out of other services.

If Google Analytics is enabled, IP anonymization and data retention limits are configured where available. Analytics data is viewed in aggregate and not used to identify individuals.

5) Third-Party Services & Embedded Content

This site may link to or embed third-party services relevant to a developer portfolio (e.g., GitHub repositories, CodePen demos, LinkedIn profile, contact widgets). These services may collect information under their own privacy policies when you interact with them.

I recommend reviewing the applicable privacy policies of those services before interacting with embedded content or links.

6) Data Storage & Retention

  • Contact messages: retained only as long as necessary to respond and maintain reasonable records of professional communications.
  • Analytics: retained in aggregate form; if using Google Analytics, a retention window such as up to 14 months may apply.

Personal data is stored securely using reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to a small, personal site.

7) Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data I hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Request details about data collection and use

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at privacy@ceciltan.com. I will respond in accordance with applicable laws.

8) Data Security

I implement reasonable security practices (e.g., HTTPS, access controls). No online service can be 100% secure, but I work to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse.

9) Children’s Privacy

This site is intended for professional audiences and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact me to delete it.

10) Updates to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the site or applicable laws. The “Last Updated” date at the top will reflect the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes signifies acceptance of the updated policy.
