Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to ibobdb.com, the personal portfolio and engineering blog of Boby. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect any information you provide when you use this website. I am committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently.

If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach me at hello@ibobdb.com.

2. Information I Collect

2.1 Contact Form

When you submit the contact form, I collect the following information that you voluntarily provide:

• Full name
• Email address
• Project type (selected from a dropdown)
• Message content

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. It is transmitted via a third-party email delivery service (Resend) and is not stored in any database on my end beyond what the email service retains.

2.2 Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — such as which pages are visited and how users navigate the site. These services collect anonymized data including approximate location (country/city), device type, browser, and referring URL. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

2.3 Automatically Collected Data

Like most websites, this site may collect standard server log information, including your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This data is used for security and performance monitoring only.

3. How I Use Your Information

Information collected through this website is used exclusively for:

• Responding to your messages and project inquiries
• Understanding how visitors use the site to improve content and performance
• Ensuring the security and proper functioning of the website

I do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. Your data is never shared with advertisers or data brokers.

The only third-party services involved are:

• Resend — email delivery service, used to forward your contact form submission to my inbox.
• Google Analytics — aggregated, anonymized site usage analytics.
• Vercel Analytics — aggregated, anonymized performance and traffic analytics.

Each of these services has their own privacy policies and data handling practices, which I encourage you to review.

5. Cookies

This website does not use first-party cookies for tracking or advertising. Third-party analytics services (Google Analytics, Vercel) may set cookies in your browser. You can disable cookies in your browser settings or use browser extensions to block analytics cookies.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained in my email inbox for as long as the conversation is relevant. Analytics data is retained in accordance with the policies of the respective analytics providers.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data I hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or request restriction of how your data is processed

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at hello@ibobdb.com. I will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Security

I take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through this website. The site is served over HTTPS, and I use reputable third-party services with strong security standards. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
