Last updated: January 25, 2026.
Welcome to Dev Patel's portfolio (devpatel1705.dev). I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting any personal information you may provide while visiting this website. This policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded.
What I collect
When you use the contact form, I collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your enquiry.
This website may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand visitor patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
The site uses minimal essential cookies for functionality. No tracking cookies are used without your consent. One item is stored in your browser's local storage: your motion preference, so the site remembers whether you turned animation off. It never leaves your device.

How it is protected
- HTTPS encryption for all data transmission.
- Secure hosting infrastructure.

Third-party links
This website links to external platforms, including:
- LinkedIn, GitHub, Instagram, Facebook, Discord, Telegram and WhatsApp.

These services have their own privacy policies. I recommend reviewing them when visiting those platforms.
