Privacy Policy

This site has no accounts, no sign-up, and no login. As of the date above, it has no forms anywhere: there is nowhere on this site to type something and submit it to me. Two things are involved: optional analytics, through Google Analytics, which runs only if you accept the banner shown on your first visit; and basic web server logs that Firebase (my hosting provider, part of Google) generates automatically for every request. I do not access, analyze, or build anything on top of those logs.

This policy covers tejitpabari.com and everything hosted directly under this domain, including project pages I have built and hosted myself at addresses such as /projects/<slug>/live. Most projects and research items on this site instead link out to where they actually live, their own site, a GitHub repository, a published paper, an app or extension store listing, rather than being hosted on this domain itself. If a project of mine lives on its own domain, such as meetjuno.health for Juno, that project has its own privacy policy, and this page does not speak for it. Where that applies, I link to the project's own policy from its page here.

This is a standing commitment, not a one-time fact. As I add new hosted pages under /projects/*/live or /research/*/live, one of them may eventually need to collect something this page does not currently describe, for example an input field. If that happens, I will update this page, and that project's own writeup, before the page goes live, not after. If you are reading this and a project you are using appears to ask for something this page does not describe, that is a gap in this page, not a hidden feature. Please email me (see Contact, below).

• No user accounts or login
• No forms of any kind, anywhere on the domain, as of the date above: nothing here to type into and submit
• No comments, uploads, or user-generated content
• No database that stores anything about you
• No sale of data, and no sharing of data with third parties for their own purposes (Google Analytics, described below, acts only as a service provider processing this site's own analytics)
• No advertising, ad tracking, or retargeting

Google Analytics (optional)

I use Google Analytics 4 to see whether people find this site, for example whether a post I share on LinkedIn brings visitors here, and which projects people look at once they arrive. That is the only reason it is here.

Google Analytics runs only if you select "Accept" on the banner. If you select "Decline," or do not respond, Google Analytics does not load, and no analytics cookies are set on your device.

If you accept, Google Analytics collects information such as: which pages you view and how long you spend on them; an approximate location, estimated from your IP address (Google Analytics does not retain your full IP address); the type of device and browser you are using; and how you arrived at the site. It also records a small number of specific interactions I have chosen to track because they tell me something useful: which project or research card you click, which outbound link you follow (a live project, a paper, a GitHub repository, LinkedIn), whether you click through to my résumé, and, if you use the search box on /projects or /research, what you typed. I use this information to understand what visitors are looking for, not to identify who is looking. Google processes and stores this data as described in its own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). I only ever see aggregated reports, never an individual visitor's browsing history.

A note on the search box: it is not a form. What you type is used locally, in your browser, to filter the list as you type, and is not sent to a server or stored by me directly. If you have accepted analytics, the text you search for is also sent to Google Analytics as an event, so I can see what visitors are looking for. Please avoid typing anything personal into it: it is the one place on this site where typed text can be logged.

You can withdraw consent at any time. See "Your consent choice," below, or clear this site's browsing data in your own browser; either resets your choice and shows the banner again.

Hosting logs

This site is hosted on Firebase Hosting, a Google product. Like most website hosts, Firebase Hosting automatically generates basic server logs for each request, typically including the requester's IP address, the page requested, the time of the request, and the browser's user agent. This is standard web infrastructure, not something built or configured specifically for this site, and I do not run any separate tracking, profiling, or analysis on top of it.

When you accept or decline the analytics banner, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage (on-device storage that is not sent to any server), so you are not asked again on every visit.

Your saved analytics choice is currently not set. There is nothing to clear yet. You will see the banner below the first time it has something to ask.

Clearing your choice does not, and cannot, recall analytics data already sent to Google before you clear it. No website can undo that after the fact; this only changes what happens from this point forward.

The only cookies this site can set are Google Analytics cookies, and only after you select "Accept." Your consent choice itself is stored in local storage, not a cookie. If you decline, this site sets no cookies at all. Clearing your choice (above) removes any Google Analytics cookies already on this device.

This site links to other things: GitHub, LinkedIn, project repositories, papers, and other sites I have built, including Juno (meetjuno.health), which has its own separate privacy policy and terms. Once you follow a link elsewhere, you are on someone else's site, governed by their practices, not this one.

This site is not directed at children and is not designed to knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.

If what this site collects ever changes, including because a new hosted project needs something this page does not describe today, I will update this page and the date above before that change ships.
