This Privacy Policy explains how Umesh Pathak Portfolio (“I”, “me”, or “the site”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information. As a simple portfolio site, data collection is minimal and focused on enabling contact.

• Information Collected: When you use the contact form, I collect your name, email, and message to respond to inquiries. No sensitive data (e.g., payment info) is collected. The site may use cookies for basic analytics (e.g., via Yoast SEO) to improve user experience, but no tracking for advertising.
• How I Use It: Data is used solely for communication (e.g., replying to messages) and site improvement. It’s not shared with third parties except as required by law or for services like email delivery (e.g., WordPress plugins).
• Security: Data is stored securely on WordPress servers with iThemes Security plugin for protection against unauthorized access. However, no system is 100% secure—use at your own risk.
• Your Rights: You can request access, correction, or deletion of your data by contacting me at pathakumesh938@gmail.com.
•  For cookies, adjust browser settings.
• Changes: I’ll update this policy if needed and note changes here.
• Contact: Questions? Use the contact form or email pathakumesh938@gmail.com.

This policy aligns with basic GDPR/CCPA principles but isn’t legal advice.
