Who runs this site
This is the personal website of Nikhil Sharma, a technical SEO specialist based in Jaipur, India. For anything about your data, email imnikhil10@outlook.com.
What I collect, and why
- Messages you send. If you use the contact form or email me, I receive what you write (your name, email, optional phone number and message) so I can reply. I keep it only as long as our conversation needs.
- Analytics, only with your consent. If you allow Analytics, Google Analytics (loaded through Google Tag Manager) records which pages are viewed and what's clicked, with an approximate location and device type. Until you allow it, Google receives only cookieless signals (Consent Mode) with no identifiers stored on your device.
- Hosting logs. The site is hosted by Vercel, which keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and browser) for security and reliability.
I don't sell personal data, and I don't use it for advertising unless you turn on Marketing.
