Last updated: October 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Ravi Kumar ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit ravibuilds.dev (the "Site") or contact us.
1. Information We Collect
You can read the portfolio and blog without creating an account or submitting personal information. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message.
When you visit the Site, the following third-party services may automatically collect information:
- Vercel (hosting provider): May log technical information such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps as part of normal web hosting and security operations. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
- Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights: Collect anonymized usage data such as page views, referrers, and Core Web Vitals metrics. These tools do not use cookies and do not track visitors across websites.
- Google Analytics: Collects usage information such as page views, referrers, browser and device details, and interactions to help us understand site traffic.
Analytics providers process this information, and we use their reports to understand traffic and improve the Site.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The theme switcher stores your light or dark preference in your browser's local storage. This preference stays on your device and is not included in analytics reports.
Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights do not use cookies. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including _ga and cookies beginning with _ga_, to distinguish visitors and sessions.
You can clear the saved theme preference in your browser's site storage settings. The Site will then follow your system theme. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser's privacy settings.
3. Advertising
The Site does not currently display advertisements or load Google AdSense advertising scripts.
If ads are enabled later, this policy will be updated to explain the advertising provider and any data or cookies involved.
4. Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand how visitors interact with the Site and to measure performance. These tools collect anonymized usage data such as page views, referrers, and Core Web Vitals metrics. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies and does not track visitors across websites. Learn more in Vercel's analytics privacy documentation and Speed Insights privacy documentation.
We also use Google Analytics to measure page views and interactions and understand how visitors find and use the Site. Google processes the information collected through its analytics service. Learn about its data practices in Google's Privacy Policy.
For supported browsers, Google offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits.
5. How Information Is Used
We use analytics reports and information you provide by email to:
- Understand how visitors find and use the Site.
- Measure performance and improve the Site's content.
- Respond to your questions and messages.
Vercel also uses technical information to operate and secure the Site's hosting infrastructure. The service providers described above process information according to their privacy policies.

6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, receive a copy of it, or object to or restrict its use. You may also have the right to raise a concern with your local data protection authority.
