Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 1, 2026
This is a personal site — a portfolio and technical blog run by an individual, not a company. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit traviteja.com, why it's collected, and what choices you have. If anything here is unclear, email raviteja0096@gmail.com and I'll answer directly.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site collects some information automatically through server logs and analytics tools — things like your approximate location (city/country level, derived from IP address), browser and device type, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the site or search engine that referred you here. No account or sign-up exists on this site, so nothing is tied to a name or persistent identity unless you choose to email me directly.
This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand which articles and pages are useful to readers. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymized usage statistics. You can read Google's own explanation of what it collects and how at policies.google.com/privacy, and opt out of Analytics tracking across all sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising — Google AdSense
This site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the web. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
Cookies and local storage
Beyond the analytics and advertising cookies described above, this site stores one small piece of data in your browser's localStorage — your light/dark theme preference — so the site doesn't flash the wrong theme on your next visit. This value never leaves your browser and isn't accessible to any third party. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and local storage through their settings; doing so won't break the site, though your theme preference will reset each visit.
Embedded third-party content
Some pages — the Podcast page in particular — embed content hosted by other services: YouTube videos, Spotify episodes, and LinkedIn posts. When a page containing one of these embeds loads, the embedded service (YouTube/Google, Spotify, or LinkedIn) can set its own cookies and collect data about your visit, governed by that service's own privacy policy, not this one:
Information you provide directly
If you email me at raviteja0096@gmail.com or message me on LinkedIn, I receive whatever you choose to share — your name, email address, and the content of your message. That information is used only to respond to you and is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Children's privacy
This site is a professional portfolio and technical blog aimed at software engineers and technology professionals. It is not directed at children under 13, and no information is knowingly collected from children.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data collected about you, and to opt out of analytics or advertising cookies as described above. Since this site doesn't maintain user accounts or a database of visitor profiles, most of these controls are exercised through your browser settings or the opt-out links above. For anything related to an email you've sent me directly, contact raviteja0096@gmail.com and I'll handle the request personally.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the site changes — for example, if a new analytics or advertising tool is added. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected here; there's no separate notification mechanism since this site doesn't collect email addresses for that purpose.
