Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Devesh Saini (“I”, “me”, “my”, or “the Site”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit or use deveshsaini.in, including its articles, learning resources, newsletter, comments, contact form, and other services available through the website.

I believe privacy should be simple: I only collect information that is reasonably necessary to provide and operate the features of this website. I do not sell your personal information or use it for advertising purposes.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information I Collect

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

1.1 Contact Form

If you use the contact form, I may collect:

• Your name

• Your email address

• The message or information you submit

• Any other information you voluntarily include in your message

This information is collected so that I can:

• Respond to your inquiry

• Provide information or assistance you requested

• Follow up regarding your message when necessary

I do not use contact-form submissions to send unsolicited marketing emails.

1.2 Newsletter

If you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletter, I collect your:

• Email address

Your email address is used to:

• Send newsletters

• Notify you about new articles, resources, projects, or other content you requested

• Manage your newsletter subscription

Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe option.

You can unsubscribe at any time. Once you unsubscribe, your newsletter subscription information will no longer be used to send you newsletter emails.

1.3 Comments

If you leave a comment on the website, I may collect:

• Your name

• Your comment

• Your email address, if you voluntarily provide one

• Your website URL, if you voluntarily provide one

Your email address is not publicly displayed as part of your comment.

An email address may be used to provide comment-reply notifications where that functionality is available.

Comments may remain publicly visible after they are posted because they form part of the public content of the website.

You may request removal of your comment or associated information using the data deletion process described below.

1.4 Learning Accounts

The website may provide learning resources through a dedicated Learn section.

If you choose to create a learning account, I may collect:

• Your name

• Your email address

• Course enrollment information

• Course progress

• Completed lessons or steps

• Quiz attempts and results

• Notes or other learning information you choose to save

• Certificates or completion records

This information is used to provide learning functionality, including:

• Saving your progress

• Allowing you to continue courses across sessions

• Recording completed lessons

• Recording quiz attempts

• Providing certificates or completion records

• Improving the functionality of the learning experience

Creating a learning account is optional. You can use other areas of the website without creating an account unless an account is specifically required for a particular feature.

2. Analytics

The website uses limited, privacy-focused analytics to understand basic website usage.

Analytics may record anonymous information such as:

• Page or path viewed

• Date of the page view

• Aggregate page-view counts

The analytics system is designed to provide basic usage statistics rather than build individual user profiles.

No advertising tracking

The website does not use:

• Advertising networks

• Behavioral advertising

• Cross-site tracking

• Tracking pixels for advertising

• Third-party advertising cookies

No analytics cookies

The website's basic analytics do not require tracking cookies.

Analytics information is used to understand which pages are being visited and to help maintain and improve the website.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website does not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Some parts of the website may use technically necessary storage, session mechanisms, or similar technologies required for functionality, such as maintaining a login session or remembering application state.

Where such technologies are necessary for a feature you explicitly use, they are used to provide that feature rather than to track you across unrelated websites.

4. How Your Information Is Used

Information collected through the website may be used to:

• Respond to contact requests

• Send newsletters you subscribed to

• Provide requested content or services

• Operate learning accounts

• Save learning progress

• Record quiz attempts and course completion

• Provide certificates

• Send requested account or service notifications

• Maintain and secure the website

• Understand basic website usage

• Diagnose technical problems

• Improve website functionality and content

• Comply with applicable legal obligations

Your information is not used for purposes unrelated to the service or interaction for which it was provided, except where required to operate, secure, or comply with applicable law.

5. What I Do Not Do With Your Information

I do not:

• Sell your personal information

• Rent your personal information

• Sell email addresses to marketers

• Use your information for third-party advertising

• Build advertising profiles about you

• Use cross-site behavioral tracking

• Share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes

I aim to keep data collection limited to what is reasonably necessary for the website's functionality.

6. Data Sharing

Your information is not shared with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Information may nevertheless be processed by service providers that are necessary to operate particular website features, such as infrastructure, email delivery, authentication, database hosting, or other technical services.

Where such providers are used, access to information is limited to what is reasonably necessary to provide their services.

Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with a legal obligation

• Respond to a valid legal request

• Protect the security or integrity of the website

• Prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized activity

• Protect the rights, safety, or property of the website or others

7. Data Retention

I retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or reasonably necessary for legal, security, or operational purposes.

Contact messages

Contact-form submissions may be retained so that inquiries can be answered and relevant communication can be maintained.

You may request deletion of your contact information and messages.

Newsletter information

Newsletter subscription information is retained while your subscription is active.

If you unsubscribe, your active newsletter subscription will be removed. Limited information may be retained where necessary to maintain an unsubscribe or suppression record and prevent unwanted future emails.

Comments

Published comments may remain available as part of the public content of the website.

You may request removal of a comment and associated personal information.

Learning accounts

Learning-account information is retained while your account remains active and as reasonably necessary to provide the learning service.

You may request deletion of your learning account and associated learning information.

8. Your Right to Delete Your Data

You can request deletion of personal information associated with your use of the website.

The data deletion process can be used to request removal of:

• Newsletter subscriptions

• Contact messages

• Comments

• Learning accounts

• Associated learning progress and records

Data Deletion Tool

Use the Data Deletion Tool to request permanent deletion of your information.

Deletion may be subject to limited exceptions where information must be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or other legitimate operational purposes.

Information that has already been published publicly, such as a comment, may require removal from the website separately from deletion of internal account records.

9. Account Deletion

If you have created a learning account and want it removed, you can request deletion through the data deletion process.

Upon deletion, reasonable efforts will be made to remove the account and associated learning information, including where applicable:

• Account details

• Course progress

• Completed steps

• Quiz attempts

• Notes

• Certificates or completion records

Some records may need to be retained where required for legal, security, or legitimate operational reasons.

10. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information handled by the website.

These measures are intended to reduce the risk of:

• Unauthorized access

• Unauthorized disclosure

• Loss

• Misuse

• Alteration

• Destruction

However, no website, server, database, or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For this reason, while reasonable precautions are taken, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

11. Children's Privacy

This website is not specifically directed toward children.

I do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website without appropriate authorization, please contact me so that the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

12. External Links

The website may contain links to external websites, services, repositories, documentation, social-media profiles, or other third-party resources.

Once you leave deveshsaini.in, this Privacy Policy may no longer apply.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of external websites.

You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing it with personal information.

13. Public Information

Some information you voluntarily submit may become publicly visible.

For example, if you post a comment, the information associated with that comment may be displayed publicly on the website.

Do not include sensitive, confidential, or personally identifying information in a public comment unless you are comfortable with that information being publicly available.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect:

• Changes to the website

• New features

• Changes in how information is processed

• Changes in applicable legal requirements

• Improvements to privacy practices

When this policy is updated, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be changed.

If a significant change is made, additional notice may be provided where appropriate.
