Privacy Policy

As an HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) researcher, I value digital ethics and data transparency. This policy outlines how information is handled when you interact with this professional portfolio. To understand how visitors interact with my research and 3D demonstrations, I use PostHog, an open-source, privacy-focused analytics platform.

Optional analytics begins only if you explicitly accept it. It records page visits, referrer domains, safe campaign labels, engagement time, scroll depth, link and button clicks, downloads, copy interaction length, Web Vitals, and error counts without error content. Heatmaps show click positions. Session recording is disabled. Form values, console logs, network headers and bodies, and canvas contents are not recorded. Analytics event URLs exclude query strings and fragments. PostHog uses browser storage to recognise returning browsers after consent. It creates a visitor profile using an unnamed browser ID, with first and latest page paths, first referrer domain, safe campaign labels, browser/device details, and last activity time. I do not identify visitors by name or email. You can reject or revoke analytics below. Do Not Track is respected. The configured PostHog region determines where analytics data is processed.

I collect this information strictly for technical research and professional development. It helps me optimize interactive 3D performance, identify high-interest research topics, and monitor the accessibility of the platform across different regions. If you use the contact form, the information you provide (Name, Email, Message) is only used to respond to your inquiry and is never sold or shared with third parties.

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or request the deletion of your data. For any inquiries regarding your privacy or data removal, please contact me directly at: gowtham.sridher5@gmail.com.
