Privacy.
& Confidentiality.

This policy applies to advaithvaithianathan.com and www.advaithvaithianathan.com, the personal portfolio website of Advaith Vaithianathan, based in Bengaluru, India.

It explains how information is handled when you browse this website or contact Advaith through its published contact details. It does not cover separate products, applications, subdomains or third-party websites linked from the portfolio. Those services have their own privacy practices.

When you browse. The hosting provider may process your IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, referring website, timestamps and diagnostic logs to deliver the site, maintain reliability and prevent abuse.

When you get in touch. If you send an email or use a linked contact service, Advaith receives the information you choose to share, such as your name, contact details, message and attachments. Your chosen email or messaging provider also processes that communication under its own policies.

Website preferences. Your browser stores theme and sound preferences and a temporary flag remembering whether the site introduction has played. These are described below.

The portfolio does not offer visitor accounts, collect payment details or ask you to upload documents through the website. Simply visiting the site does not provide access to your email, files or private accounts.

Information is used to serve and secure the website, remember your display and sound preferences, respond to enquiries, and discuss or carry out collaborations you request.

Personal information is not sold or rented. The website does not use first-party advertising trackers or visitor analytics scripts. Its hosting provider may keep operational and security logs.

Information may be processed by service providers that deliver the site or handle correspondence. It may also be disclosed when legally required or reasonably necessary to address abuse, protect rights or maintain security.

The website uses local storage for your chosen light or dark theme and sound setting. Session storage remembers whether the introduction has played during your browsing session. These preferences support the site experience and are not used as advertising identifiers.

The site does not set first-party advertising or analytics cookies. Hosting infrastructure may use technical cookies or similar mechanisms for security or service delivery.

You can clear this website’s cookies and storage in your browser settings. Clearing storage resets saved preferences. It does not delete correspondence you have already sent.

Hosting. Vercel hosts and delivers this website and may process technical request and security data. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy for its practices.

Contact and project links. The website links to email, messaging services, social profiles, code repositories and other projects. Following those links takes you to services with their own terms, cookies and privacy policies. Information you share there is handled by those services as well as its intended recipient.

Website fonts, visual assets and background audio are served as site assets. The portfolio does not need access to a connected music or social account to display its content.

Hosting and communications providers may process information in countries outside India. Their locations, safeguards and retention practices depend on the services involved.

Private correspondence and unpublished material shared with Advaith are handled for the purpose for which they are provided. They are not intended for public display on the portfolio. Publication of private project material should be agreed separately with the relevant parties.

The website uses HTTPS to protect information in transit. Reasonable care is taken with correspondence and access to information, but no website, email service or messaging system can guarantee absolute security or confidentiality.

This policy does not create a non-disclosure agreement, professional privilege or a transfer of intellectual property. If a proposal, research project or collaboration requires specific confidentiality obligations, agree those before sharing restricted material. Only share information you are entitled to provide, and avoid sending passwords or access tokens.

Correspondence is kept for as long as reasonably needed to respond, continue a relevant collaboration, maintain necessary records or meet legal obligations. Hosting logs and provider backups follow the applicable provider’s retention practices. There is no single retention period that applies to every type of information.

You can request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information held by Advaith in connection with this website by using the contact address below. Please identify the relevant information or correspondence. Identity or ownership may need to be verified before a request is completed.

Deletion from active records may not immediately remove provider backups or records that must be retained for legal or security reasons. Any relevant limitations will be explained. Rights available under applicable privacy laws remain available.

For privacy questions, complaints, data requests or a confidentiality discussion, contact Advaith Vaithianathan, Bengaluru, India. Please use “Privacy request” in the subject line.

This page may be updated as the website or its practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Additional notice or consent will be provided where required for a materially different use of personal information.
