Privacy Policy | niks.design

Who I am

niks.design is a one-person AI product studio operated by Nikunj Chauhan, based in Surat, Gujarat, India. If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact me at work.nikunj1328@gmail.com.

What I collect

I collect personal data through the following channels:

Contact form: Name, email, company, project brief, budget, and timeline - submitted voluntarily when you reach out.
Newsletter sign-up: Email address, if you choose to subscribe.
Calendly: Name, email, and scheduling preferences when you book a call. Calendly’s own privacy policy applies.
Analytics: Anonymous usage data via Vercel Analytics - pages visited, referrer, device type. No cookies, no cross-site tracking.

How I use it

To respond to your project enquiry.
To schedule and prepare for calls.
To send occasional newsletters (only if you opted in; unsubscribe any time).
To understand how the site is used and improve it.

I do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it for automated decision-making.

Legal bases (GDPR)

For visitors in the EU/UK, my legal bases for processing are:

Legitimate interests - responding to enquiries and improving the site.
Consent - newsletter sign-ups.
Contract - processing data needed to deliver a project you’ve engaged me for.

Sharing

I share data only with the services needed to run this site:

Vercel / Render - hosting and deployment.
Email provider - sending replies and newsletters.
Calendly - call scheduling.
Vercel Analytics - anonymous site analytics.

No data is sold or shared with third parties for marketing.

Retention

Contact form submissions are kept for as long as needed to respond and manage our working relationship, then deleted. Newsletter subscriptions are held until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict processing. To exercise any of these rights, email work.nikunj1328@gmail.com. I’ll respond within 30 days.

Cookies

This site uses no tracking cookies. Vercel Analytics is cookieless. If that changes, this policy will be updated and you’ll be informed.
