Scope and operator
This policy explains how gauravkhurana.com collects, uses, and protects information. The personal site is operated by Gaurav Khurana and is not a Microsoft website.
This policy covers the website, newsletter forms, feedback channels, and interactions with links or embedded services on the site.
Information collected
Information may be collected in the following ways:
- Information you submit, such as your email address through a newsletter form.
- Messages and details you choose to provide through feedback or contact channels.
- Aggregated usage data, such as pages viewed, device type, and referral source.
- Technical logs processed by hosting and security providers, such as IP address, browser type, and request time.
The site does not sell personal information.
How information is used
- Deliver newsletters or resources you request.
- Respond to questions, feedback, and support requests.
- Understand which content is useful and improve the website.
- Protect the site, prevent abuse, and diagnose technical problems.
- Meet legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.
Analytics
Site statistics are collected with Umami, a privacy-focused analytics service. It does not set cookies, does not store an identifier in your browser, and does not build a profile of you across other websites, so no consent banner is needed. See the cookie policy for details.
The data is used in aggregate to understand site traffic and content performance. If you prefer not to be counted, a content blocker or privacy extension will stop the script from loading.
Newsletter and forms
Newsletter subscriptions are processed by Brevo. Brevo receives the details you submit and processes them to deliver requested emails. Each marketing email should include an unsubscribe option.
Do not submit sensitive personal information through newsletter, feedback, or public contact forms.
Service providers and external links
The site may rely on hosting, analytics, email, search, video, payment, course, and consultation providers. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Examples include Umami, Brevo, YouTube, Ko-fi, Topmate, Udemy, and Algolia-powered services.
When you follow an external link, the destination service controls its own data practices. Review that service's privacy notice before providing personal information.
Retention and security
Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, legal obligations, dispute resolution, or security. Newsletter records may remain until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to suppression records needed to honor your choice.
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent.
You can unsubscribe through an email footer or submit a privacy request through the feedback page. Identity verification may be required before completing a request.
Children’s privacy
The site is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, use the feedback page to request its removal.
Changes and contact
This policy may be updated as the site or applicable requirements change. Material updates will be reflected by the date at the top of this page.
For privacy questions or requests, contact Gaurav Khurana through the feedback page.
