1. Overview & Commitment to Privacy
This Privacy Policy sets out the data processing practices and principles governing the official portfolio website of Salman Ahmad (also operating under the handle 'ahmmikun'), accessible at https://ahmmikun.vercel.app, including all associated REST API endpoints, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and machine-readable data feeds.
We are dedicated to safeguarding the personal information and digital privacy of every visitor, developer, client, and automated agent interacting with our platform. We adhere to the fundamental principles of data minimization, purpose limitation, transparency, and robust technical security.
2. Information We Collect & How It Is Used
A. Voluntarily Submitted Information
When you transmit a message through our web contact interface, our REST API endpoint (POST /api/contact), or via an MCP tool call (send_contact_message), we collect only the information you explicitly provide:
- Identifier: Your name, username, or organization handle.
- Contact Link: Your return email address.
- Message Payload: Subject header and message body content.
Purpose: This data is processed exclusively to evaluate your communication, respond to software engineering project proposals, answer technical inquiries, and maintain direct professional correspondence.
B. Automatically Collected Technical Metadata
Like virtually all internet services, when you visit our site, our hosting infrastructure provider (Vercel Inc.) may automatically collect standard HTTP network metadata. This includes IP address, user-agent string, referrer URL, operating system, and request timestamps. This data is utilized solely for DDoS mitigation, infrastructure health monitoring, and edge routing.
No Tracking Cookies: We do NOT utilize third-party tracking cookies, behavioral advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or intrusive analytics beacons.
3. Data Transmission, Storage & Third-Party Services
Contact submissions are converted into an encrypted email transmission via TLS and delivered directly to our primary mailbox (xheikhsalman4422@gmail.com) using standard SMTP transport protocols.
We do not sell, rent, lease, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal contact details to any third-party marketing firms, commercial aggregators, or unauthorized data brokers.

4. Data Retention & Security Measures
We implement industry-standard technical security practices to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or interception of user transmissions. All web and API traffic is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS / HTTPS).
We retain contact inquiries only for as long as necessary to complete active client discussions, fulfill contractual obligations, or maintain professional relationships. You may request the deletion of your transmitted information at any time.
