Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 24, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Shishir Adhikari ("I", "me", or "my") handles information when you visit www.adhikarishishir.com.np (the "Site"). This Site is a personal portfolio showcasing professional experience, skills, and projects. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
2. Information I collect
When you use the WhatsApp contact form on this Site, I collect:
- Name, WhatsApp number, and message: used to deliver your inquiry through Meta's WhatsApp Business (Cloud) API and continue the conversation on WhatsApp.
- Information you send on WhatsApp: replies and button choices in that chat, processed to send automated option replies and so I can respond personally.
- Technical / server logs: hosting providers may record IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps for security and reliability.
If you email me or contact social profiles linked on the Site, I receive whatever you choose to share there.
3. How information is used
Information is used only to:
- Respond to inquiries about work, freelance, or collaboration
- Send the automated WhatsApp welcome / options message and follow-up replies
- Operate, secure, and improve the Site
- Comply with legal obligations if required
WhatsApp delivery is handled by Meta Platforms under their terms. I do not sell personal information. I do not use the Site to run advertising networks or sell visitor profiles.
4. Cookies and analytics
This Site does not intentionally set marketing cookies. Essential cookies or similar storage may be used by the hosting platform or browser for basic functionality. If analytics tools are added later, this policy will be updated to describe them.
5. Third-party links
The Site links to external projects, GitHub, LinkedIn, and other services. Those sites have their own privacy practices. I am not responsible for content or policies on third-party websites.
6. Data retention
Emails and messages you send are kept only as long as needed to respond and manage professional correspondence, unless a longer period is required by law. Server logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s defaults and security needs.
7. Your choices
You can choose not to contact me, and you can request that I delete correspondence you previously sent (subject to legal or legitimate record-keeping needs). For requests, use the contact details below.
8. Children’s privacy
This Site is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Changes to this policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when revisions are published. Continued use of the Site after updates means you accept the revised policy.
