Who I Am

This website is operated by Shaan Roy, a freelance WordPress specialist operating as an individual. My website address is https://shaanroy.com.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact me directly at [email protected].

What Data I Collect

I only collect data that is necessary to respond to your enquiries or improve the website experience. Specifically:

• Contact form submissions — your name, email address, website URL, and the message you send. This is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
• Usage data — via Google Analytics, I collect anonymised information about how visitors use this site (pages visited, time on site, approximate location, browser/device type). This data does not identify you personally.
• Cookies — Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to distinguish visitors and track sessions. See the Cookies section below for more detail.

I do not collect payment information directly. Any payments made are processed through third-party platforms (Fiverr, Payoneer, etc.) under their own privacy policies.

How I Use Your Data

• To respond to messages or enquiries you send via the contact form
• To understand how people use this website so I can improve it
• To maintain the security and performance of the website

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymised traffic data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitor sessions. The data collected includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
• Browser type and device type
• How you arrived at the site (referral source)

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cookies

This website uses cookies placed by Google Analytics. These are analytical cookies used to understand visitor behaviour. They do not store personally identifiable information.

Typical Google Analytics cookies include _ga (expires after 2 years) and _ga_* (expires after 2 years). These are used to distinguish visitors and sessions.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that doing so may affect how some parts of the website function.

Data Retention

Contact form enquiries are retained only as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your query. Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default.

I do not store client project files or sensitive data on this website.
