Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to arianshah.dev. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect and use information when you visit my website. I am committed to being transparent about my data practices.

2. What Data I Collect

I use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use my website. This service collects anonymous, aggregated data including:

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • Referrer information (where you came from)
  • Country/region (based on anonymized IP)
  • Browser and device type
  • Operating system

Important: Vercel Analytics is privacy-focused and does not:

  • Use cookies
  • Track users across websites
  • Collect personal identifiable information
  • Store IP addresses

I also count views on individual project pages. To prevent duplicate counts, your IP address is hashed using SHA-256 and stored temporarily for 24 hours. The raw IP address is never stored and the hash cannot be used to identify you.

3. How I Use This Data

The anonymous analytics data helps me:

  • Understand which content is most useful to visitors
  • Improve the website's user experience
  • Identify and fix technical issues

5. Your Rights

Since I only collect anonymous, aggregated data that cannot be traced back to individuals, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. If you have any questions or concerns about your privacy, please contact me through the contact page.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
