1. Who is responsible for this website
smnthlhr.online is the personal portfolio and professional website of Somnath Lohar. In this policy, “the website,” “this site,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to smnthlhr.online and its operator, as appropriate. This policy applies when you visit this website, use its contact features, or communicate about services through the contact details shown here.
Questions, privacy requests, or concerns can be sent to smnthlhr@gmail.com or through the methods listed on the Contact page. Please do not send passwords, government identification numbers, payment card details, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email.
2. Information you choose to provide
You may provide your name, email address, project requirements, preferred service, budget information, timeline, and any other details you include in a message. The contact form on this site prepares a message in your email application. It does not submit the form contents to a website database. Once you send the message, your email provider and the recipient’s email provider process it under their own terms and privacy practices.
If a working relationship begins, additional information may be exchanged to prepare a proposal, provide a requested service, communicate about deliverables, maintain business records, prevent disputes, or meet legal obligations. Only information reasonably connected to those purposes should be requested or used.
3. Information received automatically
Like most websites, the hosting platform, server, content delivery systems, and security tools may automatically process limited technical information when a page is requested. This can include an Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, requested page, referring page, date and time, response status, and diagnostic or security events. Such logs help deliver the site, maintain reliability, investigate errors, prevent abuse, and protect the website.
This website does not currently offer user accounts and does not intentionally use advertising cookies or analytics cookies. The hosting or security infrastructure may use strictly necessary technologies for functions such as traffic delivery, caching, fraud prevention, or security. Browser settings can be used to remove or block cookies, although blocking necessary technologies may affect how some sites function.
4. External fonts and third-party resources
The website currently requests font resources from Google Fonts and Fontshare so that pages display with the intended typography. When your browser connects to those services, the provider may receive technical request data such as your IP address, browser information, the requested resource, and the referring page. Google and Fontshare handle that information under their own privacy terms. You can limit these requests by using browser privacy controls, content blocking tools, or locally installed fonts, although the appearance of the website may change.
Links may lead to social networks, code repositories, messaging services, other websites, or email services. Those third parties operate independently and may collect information when you visit or interact with them. Their privacy notices, settings, and terms apply to their services. A link from this website does not mean that we control a third party’s data practices.
5. How information is used
Information may be used to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website; answer questions; evaluate project requests; prepare proposals; deliver agreed services; manage professional communications; keep appropriate business records; enforce applicable terms; protect rights and safety; prevent spam or misuse; and comply with lawful obligations. Information is not used for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Depending on your location and the situation, processing may rely on your consent, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with law, or legitimate interests such as communicating with visitors, running a secure website, and maintaining accurate business records. Where consent is the basis, it can be withdrawn for future processing.
6. When information may be shared
Personal information is not sold. It is not shared for cross-context behavioral advertising. Information may be handled by service providers that support website hosting, security, email, file storage, communications, or professional work. These providers process information for their own stated purposes or to provide services on behalf of the site operator.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, a valid legal request, or a court order; investigate fraud or misuse; protect the security of the site; defend legal rights; or protect a person from harm. If the website or related professional activity is reorganized or transferred, relevant records may be transferred subject to appropriate privacy protections.
7. Retention
Messages and project records are kept only for as long as reasonably needed for communication, service delivery, accounting, dispute prevention, security, and legal compliance. The exact period depends on the nature of the inquiry, whether a project proceeds, and applicable obligations. Server and security logs are retained according to operational needs and the policies of the hosting or security provider. Information that is no longer required may be deleted, anonymized, or securely isolated where deletion is not immediately possible.
8. Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no website, server, email transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You should use appropriate caution when choosing what to send online. If you believe information connected with this website has been exposed or misused, please report it promptly using the contact details above.
9. International processing
The website can be accessed globally, and service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, reasonable safeguards should be used for international transfers. By choosing to communicate through a third-party platform, you should also review where that provider processes data and what transfer protections it offers.
10. Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, or information about processing and sharing. You may also have the right to complain to a relevant data protection authority. These rights can be subject to exceptions, identity verification, and record-retention duties.
To make a request, email smnthlhr@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy Request” and explain what you need. Only information reasonably necessary to verify and complete the request will be requested. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. At present, because personal information is not sold or used for targeted advertising, Global Privacy Control and “Do Not Track” signals do not change those practices.
11. Children’s privacy
This website and its professional services are not directed to children under 13, and personal information from children under 13 is not knowingly collected. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so the situation can be reviewed and appropriate deletion steps can be taken. Older minors should use the website only with any consent required by local law.
12. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, service providers, legal requirements, or data practices change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website when appropriate. Reviewing this page periodically is the best way to stay informed.
13. Contact
