1. Introduction
Welcome to ranjhaportfolio.online ("I", "me", "my", "the website"). I respect your privacy and I'm committed to protecting any personal information you share while visiting this site — whether you're browsing my editing work, reading my cybersecurity blog, downloading a resource, or getting in touch. This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect, why I collect it, and how it's used.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information I Collect
Depending on how you use the site, I may collect:
- Information you provide directly — such as your name and email address when you use the contact form, subscribe to the newsletter, or download a free resource.
- Automatically collected information — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site, collected through cookies and analytics tools.
- Cookies & similar technologies — used for site functionality, remembering preferences, analytics, and displaying relevant ads (see sections 4 & 5 below).
I do not collect sensitive personal information (such as payment details) directly through this site.
3. How I Use Your Information
Any information collected is used to:
- Respond to your messages or inquiries
- Send newsletter updates, if you've subscribed (you can unsubscribe anytime)
- Deliver the free resources/downloads you've requested
- Understand how visitors use the site, so I can improve content and design
- Display relevant advertising through Google Ads
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
5. Google Ads / AdSense
This website uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display ads. As part of this:
- Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
For more on how Google uses data when you use partner sites, see Google's Privacy & Terms page.
6. Analytics
I may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with the site — pages viewed, time spent, general location (country/city level), and device/browser type. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. It helps me improve content, layout, and overall user experience.
7. Contact Forms & Newsletter
When you fill out the contact form or subscribe to the newsletter, I collect your name and email address solely to respond to your message or send you updates you've opted into. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link included in every email, or by contacting me directly.
8. Free Downloads
Some resources on this site (such as the free ethical hacking guides/books) may require your email address to access. This email is used only to deliver the resource and, if you've opted in, to send occasional related updates. It is never sold or shared with third parties.
9. Third-Party Links
This site may contain links to external websites (social media, referenced tools, resources, etc.). I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. I encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
10. Data Security
I take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect any information collected from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact me so it can be removed.
