This policy covers project enquiries, basic website operation, optional WordPress features and the ways you can ask a privacy question.
1. About this website
This is the personal portfolio and digital marketing service website of Shivakant Choubey. This policy explains how information is handled when you browse the website, read articles, leave a comment where enabled or send a project enquiry.
You can use the Contact page or the linked LinkedIn profile to ask a question about this policy or information you have shared.
2. Information you share in an enquiry
When you use the contact form, the information you provide may include:
- Your name and email address
- Your website, if you choose to include it
- The service you are interested
- Your message and the details you choose to share
This information is used to understand the enquiry and respond to you. Please include only information relevant to your question or project.
3. How enquiries are handled
Contact-form submissions are sent through WordPress email handling to the website’s configured contact inbox. The website theme does not create a separate database of enquiries.
Copies of the message may remain in the receiving email account and its service provider’s systems. Access and retention also depend on the email and hosting services used to operate the website.
4. Form protection and technical information
The contact form uses anti-spam checks and a short-lived submission limit to reduce unwanted messages. A temporary, non-public identifier is derived from connection information to count submissions. It is used for form protection rather than to create an advertising profile.
The hosting provider may also process ordinary connection and access information, such as requests, technical logs and information needed to operate or protect the website. The provider’s handling and retention of that information depend on its services.
5. Cookies and optional website features
This website uses WordPress. Cookies may be used for features such as administrator sign-in or comment preferences when those features are used. The included theme does not add advertising or analytics tracking scripts.
Additional plugins, embedded media or other services can have their own information handling and cookie behavior. Where those features are enabled, their notices, settings and available visitor choices apply to them.
6. Comments, when enabled
If comments are enabled on an article, WordPress collects the information entered into the comment form. Technical information may also be processed to help manage spam and display the comment.
If an avatar service is enabled, it may receive information associated with the commenter’s email address. Comment availability, moderation and related features are controlled through the website’s WordPress settings.
7. External links
The website includes links to external services, such as LinkedIn and relevant reference material. Following an external link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices and terms.
This policy describes this website’s included features. It does not control how a separate website handles information after you visit it.
8. Service providers and access
Information is used to operate the website and respond to enquiries. Providers involved in hosting, email delivery and website operation may process information for those purposes.
Enquiry information is not published as a portfolio example without a separate basis for doing so. Any project involving additional tools or access should define the relevant responsibilities as part of the agreed work.
9. Questions, corrections and updates
You can contact Shivakant through the Contact page to ask about information you have shared or request an appropriate correction or removal. Include enough context to identify the relevant message without sending unnecessary personal information.
This policy may be updated when the website’s features or service providers change. The version published on this page is the current website policy.
