Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how this website ("the Site", janidesh.pages.dev), operated by Janith Rathnayake, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

The Site is a personal portfolio and does not require account creation. Depending on how you use it, the following information may be collected:

Automatically collected data: standard technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location (city/country level), pages visited, and referring URLs, typically gathered through cookies and similar technologies.
Information you provide directly: if you submit a review/comment, use the contact form, or interact with the AI assistant, the name, email, or message text you enter is processed to display or respond to that interaction. Comments/reviews on this Site are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to a server.
Advertising data: if advertising is served on the Site, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

2. Google AdSense & Cookies

This Site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can also opt out of some third-party vendor cookies through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet, as described in Google's Advertising Policies.

3. How We Use Information

To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its features.
To understand how visitors use the Site (aggregated, non-identifying analytics).
To display relevant advertising, where applicable.
To respond to messages sent through the contact options on the Site.

4. Third-Party Services

The Site may link out to or embed third-party services, including but not limited to Google AdSense, Google Fonts, ResearchGate, Cloudflare Pages, and GitHub. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of information, and this Site is not responsible for their practices.

5. Data Storage & Security

Where the Site stores information locally in your browser (for example, saved reviews or preferences), that data remains on your device and is not transmitted to any server operated by Janith Rathnayake unless explicitly stated. Reasonable technical measures are used to protect any data that is processed, but no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

6. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13, and personal information is not knowingly collected from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through this Site, please contact us so it can be removed.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, and to opt out of certain data processing (including personalized advertising). To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date above indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
