This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit or interact with the personal portfolio website of Nikola Sarafimov, why it may be processed, and the choices available to you.
01 / OVERVIEW
Scope of this policy
This website is primarily a personal portfolio. It does not use its own user accounts, advertising system, or dedicated analytics platform. Some information is nevertheless processed when the site is delivered to your browser or when you choose to contact me.
02 / INFORMATION
Information that may be processed
When you browse the website, hosting and content-delivery providers may receive standard technical request information needed to deliver the site and its external resources. Depending on the provider, this may include information such as an IP address, browser or device information, requested pages or files, and request timestamps.
The website itself does not create a profile about you from this technical information and does not use it for advertising.
03 / CONTACT FORM
Information you submit voluntarily
If you use the Contact page, you may provide:
- Your name
- Your email address
- A message subject
- The content of your message
This information is used only to receive and respond to your communication. The form is sent through EmailJS, so the submitted information is processed by that service as part of message delivery.
04 / LOCAL STORAGE
Browser preferences
This website uses browser local storage for a small number of functional preferences and controls:
- theme remembers light or dark mode.
- siteLang remembers the selected site language.
- lastMessageTime supports the contact form's short anti-spam cooldown after a message is sent.
These values are stored in your browser. They are not used to build an advertising or behavioral profile, and you can remove them by clearing site data in your browser.
05 / THIRD PARTIES
External services and resources
The website relies on third-party infrastructure or resources to operate and render correctly. These include:
- GitHub Pages for website hosting
- EmailJS for contact-form message delivery
- Tailwind CSS loaded from its CDN
- Font Awesome loaded through cdnjs / Cloudflare infrastructure
- jsDelivr for the EmailJS browser library on the Contact page
Those providers may process technical information according to their own privacy practices when your browser connects to their services.
06 / RETENTION & SECURITY
Retention and protection
Messages you send may remain in the relevant email or messaging service for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the communication, maintain correspondence, or comply with applicable obligations.
The portfolio does not maintain its own database of contact-form submissions. The local-storage values described above remain in your browser until they are changed, overwritten, or removed by you.
Reasonable care is taken in the design and operation of the website, but no internet transmission or third-party service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
07 / YOUR RIGHTS
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you are located and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights concerning personal information that is processed about you. These can include rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or information about the processing of your data.
If your request concerns information submitted through the contact form, you can contact me using the address below. Requests involving information independently controlled by a third-party provider may also need to be addressed to that provider.
08 / CHANGES
Updates to this policy
This policy may be revised when the website, its features, or the services it uses change. The date shown at the top of this page indicates the latest update.
09 / CONTACT
Questions about privacy
If you have a question about this Privacy Policy or about information you submitted through the website, you can contact me by email.
