Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to RB ASHISH. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and handled when you visit and interact with this website.

This website is a personal portfolio and blog created to showcase projects, technical work, writing, skills, and other professional information.

2. Information I May Collect

The information collected depends on how you interact with the website.

• Information you voluntarily provide through the chat widget.
• Information associated with an anonymous or authenticated chat session.
• Messages and conversation content submitted through the chat widget.
• Technical information that may be processed by hosting, authentication, database, or infrastructure providers.

Please avoid submitting passwords, payment information, highly sensitive personal information, confidential business information, or other information that you would not want stored as part of a chat conversation.

3. Chat Widget

This website includes a chat widget that allows visitors to interact with the site and, where enabled, create or continue conversations.

The chat functionality uses external services for functionality such as authentication, conversation storage, message storage, and realtime communication.

Depending on how you use the chat widget, information you provide may include your messages, conversation information, and information associated with your chat session.

Anonymous authentication may also be used so that a visitor can use chat functionality without creating a traditional account.

4. How Information Is Used

Information may be used to:

• Provide and operate the website.
• Provide the chat functionality.
• Maintain conversations and chat sessions.
• Improve the functionality and reliability of the website.
• Protect the website from abuse, spam, and unauthorized activity.
• Respond to messages or requests when applicable.

5. Third-Party Services

This website may rely on third-party infrastructure and services to provide certain functionality.

The chat functionality currently uses Supabase. Supabase may process information necessary to provide authentication, database, realtime, and related infrastructure services.

Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. You should review the applicable policies of those services for more information about their processing practices.

6. Hosting and Server Logs

This website is hosted using External Hosting provider. Hosting and infrastructure providers may process technical information required to deliver and secure the website.

It states that websites published may have server access logs containing information such as visitor IP addresses, access times, and pages visited. GitLab states that these Pages logs are retained for seven days on a rolling basis.

7. Cookies and Local Storage

This website may use browser storage or cookies when necessary to provide functionality such as theme preferences, authentication, chat sessions, or other site features.

The website does not intentionally use cookies for selling personal information or behavioral advertising.

Browser settings can generally be used to control or remove cookies and locally stored website data. Disabling certain storage mechanisms may affect some website functionality.

8. Data Retention

Information submitted through the chat widget may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the chat service, maintain conversations, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, or meet applicable legal requirements.

Retention may also depend on the configuration and retention policies of the third-party services used to operate the chat functionality.

9. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information processed through this website. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Supabase provides security features and controls for applications built on its platform, but the security of an application also depends on how the application itself is configured and used.

This website may contain links to external websites, repositories, social platforms, documentation, or other resources. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. Their respective privacy policies apply when you visit those services.
