About this policy
This policy explains how personal information is handled when you use satheeshan.com. This is a personal website operated by Satheeshan Siva.
Information collected
The site may collect:
- Information you provide: your name, email address, subject and message when you use the contact form.
- Technical and usage information: information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page and interactions with the site.
- Cookies and similar technologies: identifiers used for site operation, analytics and, where enabled through your cookie choices, advertising measurement.
How information is used
Information may be used to respond to enquiries, operate and protect the site, understand what readers find useful, improve performance and content, measure the effectiveness of outreach or advertising, prevent misuse and meet legal obligations. I do not sell personal information.
Service providers and data sharing
The site relies on providers for hosting, website administration, email delivery, security, spam prevention, analytics and consent management. Depending on your cookie choices, services operating on the site may include Google Analytics and Google Ads, Meta Pixel, CookieYes and WordPress.com or Jetpack.
The contact form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which processes technical signals such as IP address, browser information and device characteristics to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated traffic. Turnstile does not access, store or transmit the information entered into the contact form.
These providers may receive technical, usage or contact information only as needed to provide their services. They process information under their own privacy policies and may store or process it outside Australia. You can read the privacy policies for Google, Meta, CookieYes, Cloudflare and Automattic.
Cookies and your choices
Essential cookies support the operation and security of the site. Analytics and advertising technologies help explain how the site is used and whether outreach is effective. You can accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies through the consent banner and revisit your choice using the cookie settings control.
External links and embedded content
Pages may link to or embed content from other websites. Those services can collect information when you interact with them and are governed by their own privacy practices.
Retention and security
Contact messages and related records are kept only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain appropriate records, protect the site or meet legal obligations. Analytics and advertising information is retained according to the settings and policies of the relevant providers. Reasonable steps are taken to protect information, but no website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Access, correction and questions
You can ask what personal information I hold about you, request a correction or deletion, or raise a concern about how it has been handled. Use the contact form and include enough detail for me to understand and respond to the request. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security or record-keeping reasons.
This policy may be updated when the site or its information-handling practices change.
