Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2025

Your privacy matters. This policy outlines how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit rohitsuppal.com — a small, personal corner of the internet built with thought and care.

1. What We Collect

We may collect basic personal information such as:

  • Your name and email (only if you choose to subscribe)
  • Anonymous website usage data (e.g. browser type, time spent on site)
  • Referring pages and IP addresses (via analytics tools)

2. Why We Collect It

Any information gathered is used to:

  • Send occasional email updates (only if you opt in)
  • Understand how visitors use the site, so I can improve it
  • Make the reading experience smoother and more relevant

3. Email List & Consent

If you choose to subscribe to email updates, your email address is stored securely using Mailchimp or a similar email service provider. You’ll only receive messages that are reflective of the content on this site — essays, creative projects, or gentle updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email.

4. Cookies & Analytics

Like most websites, this one uses cookies — tiny files that help track basic usage patterns. These help me understand what’s working, what isn’t, and how to create a better experience. Currently, I may use tools like Google Analytics or privacy-first alternatives such as Plausible.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

5. Data Sharing

Your information is never sold or shared with third parties, except for essential services like email delivery (Mailchimp) or traffic analytics. These services follow their own data protection standards.

6. Security

Reasonable security practices are followed to keep your data safe. That said, no system is perfectly secure — please only share information you’re comfortable with.

7. Children's Privacy

This site is intended for a general audience. I don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe this has happened, please contact me and I’ll remove the information.

8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may evolve as the site does. Significant changes will be noted here with a revised date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted implies your acceptance of the updated terms.

9. Contact

Have questions or concerns? I’m always open to a thoughtful message. You can reach me at hello@rohitsuppal.com.
