Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 8, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how I, Kennedy Chokkalingam, handle information when you visit this website or contact me about development services. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information I Collect

I may collect the following information when you submit an inquiry or booking form:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone / WhatsApp number, including the country you select and the national number you enter (stored and forwarded in international format, e.g. +91…)
  • Company name (optional)
  • Inquiry type (dedicated development slot, contract engagement, or general inquiry)
  • Preferred development slot (A, B, or C) when applicable
  • Contract tier preference (short, medium, or long) when applicable
  • Project requirements and message content

Website Analytics

When you browse this site, Google Analytics may automatically collect usage and technical information, such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring website or search term, and visit date and time. This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies set by Google Analytics.

I use this information to understand how visitors find and use the site, which pages are most helpful, and how to improve the overall experience. I do not use Google Analytics to identify you personally or to match analytics data with information you submit through the contact form.

How I Use Your Information

I use the information you provide to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and project requests
  • Assess project fit and availability
  • Schedule discussions about potential engagements
  • Measure site traffic and understand how visitors use this website
  • Improve my services and website experience

Form Submission

When you submit the contact or booking form, your information is sent to my server and forwarded to WABlast, a lead management service I use to receive and organize inquiries. Your phone / WhatsApp number is converted to international format before it is stored or forwarded.

Before submission, Cloudflare Turnstile verifies that the request is from a real person. Your IP address may be sent to Cloudflare as part of that verification.

I also use anti-spam and abuse-prevention measures, including honeypot fields, form timing checks, request size limits, origin checks, and rate limits based on your IP address and submitted phone number.

Phone number validation is performed in your browser using the libphonenumber-js library. That validation runs locally on your device; your number is not sent to libphonenumber-js or its maintainers.

If the online submission cannot be completed (for example, due to a temporary service error), you may be redirected to WhatsApp with a pre-filled message containing the details you entered, so you can send your inquiry directly.

Direct Contact and WhatsApp

This site includes a floating WhatsApp button and other links that let you call, email, or message me directly. When you use those links, your communication is handled through your own device and service provider (for example, your phone app, email client, or the WhatsApp application). I do not intercept or process those messages through this website.

If you open WhatsApp from this site, you leave this website and interact with WhatsApp (operated by Meta). Any messages you send through WhatsApp are subject to WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy.

Third-Party Services

This website uses the following third-party services that may collect technical or usage data, or receive information you choose to share:

  • Google Analytics (Google) — measures site usage and may collect cookies, IP address, device and browser information, and page interaction data; processing is governed by Google's privacy policy
  • WABlast — receives and stores inquiry data submitted through the contact form, including your name, email, international phone number, and project details
  • Cloudflare Turnstile — verifies form submissions and may receive your IP address during verification
  • WhatsApp (Meta) — when you use the floating WhatsApp button, footer links, or a form fallback redirect, you are directed to WhatsApp's service; Meta may process data according to its own policies
  • Hostinger — hosts this website; standard server access logs (such as IP address, browser type, and request timestamps) may be recorded as part of normal web hosting operations
  • Google Fonts — font files are loaded via Next.js font optimization; Google may receive your IP address as part of font delivery
  • Theme preference — your light/dark mode choice is stored locally in your browser via localStorage (next-themes)

Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses Google Analytics, which may set first-party and third-party cookies to distinguish visitors, remember visit duration, and record how you arrived at the site. I do not use marketing or advertising cookies beyond what Google Analytics may use for measurement.

Your theme preference (light, dark, or system) is stored locally in your browser via localStorage (next-themes) and is not shared with analytics providers.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics across websites, you can install Google's browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

International Users

The contact and booking forms accept phone / WhatsApp numbers from multiple countries. If you submit information from outside India, you understand that your data may be processed on servers and by service providers located in India or other jurisdictions where those providers operate.

Data Retention and Security

Inquiry data submitted through the form is processed by WABlast according to their retention practices. I retain information only as long as needed for business correspondence and project discussions.

Temporary rate-limit records associated with your IP address or phone number may be stored on my server for abuse prevention and are not used for marketing.

I take reasonable measures to protect any information I receive, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information I hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact me using the details below.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
