Privacy Policy
This website presents the professional profile of Vinod Gautam, who is responsible for the personal information collected through it. Public pages do not display his personal telephone number, personal email address, or residential or postal address.
Information collected and its use
When a visitor submits the contact form, the information provided is used to respond to the enquiry and manage related professional communication. Depending on the fields completed, this may include the visitor’s name, company, contact details, website, vacancy information, and message.
Confidentiality and access
Contact-form information is treated as strictly confidential. Access is restricted to the website owner and to service providers only as necessary to process, store, and deliver the submission. Visitors’ information is not sold or made public.
Retention
Contact-form information is kept only for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and related professional communication. The standard retention period is no more than 12 months after submission. When the owner opens the enquiries workspace, submissions older than 12 months are deleted automatically. Information may be deleted sooner when no longer needed or following a valid deletion request. Longer retention applies only where necessary for an ongoing professional exchange or to meet legal obligations.
Access, correction, and deletion
Visitors can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information by contacting Vinod Gautam through the website contact form. Requests are handled in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.
Language and appearance preferences
The website offers English, French, and German language options and light or dark appearance settings. The selected language is reflected in the page address, and the appearance preference is stored in the visitor’s browser.
Public CV
The public CV download is the recruiter version approved by Vinod Gautam for public sharing. It does not include his personal telephone number, personal email address, or residential or postal address.
LinkedIn publications
All LinkedIn posts displayed in the Insights section were originally published by Vinod Gautam on his LinkedIn profile and are presented here in their original language. This website does not use a LinkedIn API connection. The collection is copied from the LinkedIn Post Master Tracker Public Feed, a Google Sheet that Vinod maintains. LinkedIn does not provide this website with an authorised live feed of personal posts through the current integration, so new posts and later edits on LinkedIn appear here only after they are published on that Public Feed and this website next copies it. When visitors follow a link to LinkedIn or another external website, their use of that website is subject to its own privacy policy.
Services used by this website
Contact-form submissions are stored in the owner’s Career OS database. Web3Forms is used to send the owner an email notification of a submission; provider acceptance of that notification is not the same as confirmed mailbox delivery. A Supabase function records the enquiry identifier used for that notification workflow. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts (IBM Plex Sans and Fraunces). The Insights collection is copied from the LinkedIn Post Master Tracker Public Feed as described above, not through a LinkedIn API. The site is hosted on the Grok App Builder platform (deployed on Vercel). These services process technical or form data only as needed to operate the website.
Restricted owner workspace
The owner workspace is restricted to Vinod Gautam through authenticated access. Public visitors cannot register as administrators.
Updates to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the website’s functionality or personal-data handling. The latest version will be published on this page.
