Privacy Policy for prahladinala.in (Portfolio & Digital Notes)

Last updated: October 2026

Welcome to prahladinala.in (the "Website"), the personal portfolio, resume showcase, and digital garden of Prahlad Inala. This Privacy Policy explains how we respect your privacy while you browse technical documentation, notes, and projects on this site.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not employ third-party advertising cookies, cross-device fingerprinting, or marketing analytics trackers (such as Google AdSense or Meta Pixels). You can freely browse all articles, projects, and tutorials without providing an email address or creating an account.

2. Client-Side Browser Storage

To provide a seamless, modern reading experience, the Website stores small state preferences in your browser's localStorage. This includes: • Theme selection (light, dark, focus mode) • Bookmarked digital notes and reading streak metrics • Interactive tutorial checklists and progress bars • Command palette history and UI preferences

This data is never transmitted to our servers and remains solely on your personal computer or mobile browser.

3. Interactive Discussion Comments (Giscus)

If you choose to leave a comment or reaction on a digital note, the discussion widget is powered by Giscus using the public GitHub Discussions API. When you post a comment, you sign in through GitHub, and your comment is posted publicly to the designated GitHub repository. We do not maintain a separate database of your GitHub credentials, email, or passwords.

4. Edge Hosting & Technical Server Logs

This site is deployed on modern cloud edge infrastructure (such as Vercel). When you request a webpage, the edge network temporarily logs standard internet protocol information (including your IP address, requested URL, user-agent string, and HTTP response code). These transient logs are utilized exclusively to protect the website against DDoS attacks, enforce security headers, and maintain cache performance. They are never correlated with your personal identity.

5. Code Sandboxes & External Resources

Certain digital notes may feature interactive code playgrounds (e.g., CodeSandbox Sandpack or embedded demos). These sandboxes run within isolated iframes in your browser. When you execute code in a sandbox, execution happens client-side in your browser's Web Worker or JavaScript environment.

6. Direct Contact & Communication

If you choose to contact Prahlad Inala via email (prahladinala@gmail.com) or submit a message through the contact section, your name, email, and message content will be used solely to respond to your inquiry. Your details will never be sold, rented, or enrolled in unsolicited promotional marketing campaigns.

7. Modifications & Inquiries

We reserve the right to update this policy to reflect future technological additions to the website. For questions or privacy feedback, please contact prahladinala@gmail.com.
