# Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 16, 2026.

This website (https://www.arpitkhandelwal.com) is a personal portfolio site for Arpit Khandelwal, a fractional AI and backend engineer. This page explains what is collected when you visit and how you control it.

## Analytics and cookies

With your consent, this site loads Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity. Clarity records anonymised session analytics (page interactions, heatmaps, and session replay) and, together with Google Tag Manager, sets cookies such as `_clck` and `_clsk`. These tools run only after you choose "Accept" in the consent banner. If you choose "Decline", no analytics scripts are loaded and no analytics cookies are set. Your choice is stored locally in your browser so you are not asked again; clearing site data resets it.

## Contact form

If you submit the contact form, the name, email, and message you enter are delivered as a private Telegram notification so the message can be answered. If you email directly, your message and address reach the inbox. This information is used only to respond to you.

## Hosting

The site is hosted on Vercel, which may collect standard server logs (including IP address and browser information) as part of delivering the site. See Vercel's privacy policy for details.
