Privacy Policy.
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 · Last Updated: August 23, 2026
1. Overview & Commitment to Privacy
This Privacy Policy explains how https://maanasa.dev (the “Website”), a personal portfolio and software engineering site authored by Maanasa Narayan (“I”, “me”), handles visitor information. I prioritize data minimization and user privacy: this site is built to provide information regarding my engineering career, technical projects, skills, and publications without tracking you across the web.
2. Information We Collect
A. Technical & Server Log Data
When you browse this website, our Content Delivery Network (CDN) automatically records basic network diagnostic logs necessary to deliver web traffic and mitigate attacks. These logs may temporarily contain:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Date, timestamp, and HTTP response status code
- Requested resource path and HTTP method
- Browser User-Agent header (operating system, browser type, or AI crawler identity)
- Referring website address
B. Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact me via email (mnsnryn@gmail.com), LinkedIn, GitHub, or X, you share communication details (e.g., your name, email address, and message). This information is used strictly to read, evaluate, and reply to your communication. Your contact details are never sold, rented, or shared with third-party advertisers.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This website does not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, social tracking beacons, or invasive fingerprinting scripts. Any local browser storage is restricted strictly to necessary client-side navigation enhancements (such as Astro view transition cache states).
4. Hosting & Privacy-First Analytics
This website is hosted and distributed globally via Cloudflare Pages & Workers. Cloudflare serves as our security proxy and CDN. Aggregate visitor traffic may be monitored using Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is non-invasive, does not store cookies, does not collect personal identifiers, and respects visitor anonymity.
5. External Links & AI Agent Crawlers
This website contains links to external profiles (LinkedIn, GitHub, X, Google). Once you navigate to external domains, their respective privacy policies govern your interaction.
Additionally, this website supports standard RFC 9110 HTTP content negotiation to serve clean Markdown representations (Accept: text/markdown) to autonomous AI agents, crawlers, and LLMs in compliance with published llms.txt guidelines.
