Privacy Policy
This page explains what information is processed when you visit Hadil Cholakkal or contact Hadil Cholakkal.
Effective date: 27 June 2026
Information this site processes
This portfolio is designed to collect as little personal information as possible. You can browse the site without creating an account or submitting a form.
If you email me, copy my email address, or contact me through an external link, I may receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, message, and any professional context you include.
The hosting and analytics tools used to run this site may process limited technical information, such as page views, referrers, browser type, device type, approximate location, IP-derived request information, and security logs.
How the information is used
Contact information is used to read, respond to, and manage professional enquiries.
Technical and analytics information is used to understand which pages are useful, keep the site reliable, improve performance, prevent abuse, and maintain security.
I do not sell personal information and I do not use this site to build advertising profiles.
Analytics and cookies
This site uses Vercel Web Analytics. Vercel describes this analytics product as cookie-free and based on anonymized data.
Because the current setup does not intentionally use non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, this site does not show a cookie consent banner.
If the site later adds tools that require consent, such as advertising pixels or non-essential cookies, this policy and the consent controls will be updated.
Legal bases
Where EU or UK data protection law applies, contact messages are processed to respond to your request or because there is a legitimate interest in handling professional enquiries.
Technical, security, and privacy-friendly analytics information is processed because there is a legitimate interest in operating, protecting, and improving this portfolio.
Service providers and external links
This site is hosted and delivered using Vercel services. Vercel may process technical information needed to provide hosting, analytics, security, and performance services.
The site links to external services, including LinkedIn and project websites. Those services are controlled by their own privacy policies, not this one.
Retention
Contact emails are kept only for as long as needed to manage the conversation, maintain professional records, or handle follow-up work.
Technical logs and analytics information are retained according to the settings and retention practices of the relevant service providers.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to the processing of your personal information.
To make a privacy request, email hadilchechu@gmail.com. I may need enough information to verify and respond to the request.
