Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2026 · batalshikov.com

1. Overview & Purpose

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal website and portfolio of Dima Batalshikov (batalshikov.com). I respect your privacy and data sovereignty. This document outlines what technical telemetry and inquiry details may be collected, their specific purposes, and how data is protected.

2. Information Collected via the Contact Form

When you use the feedback or contact form on this website, you voluntarily provide the following information:

  • Name: To address you personally in correspondence.
  • Email Address: To reply directly to your inquiry.
  • Message Content: The text, inquiries, or proposals you submit.

Direct Delivery: Form submissions are forwarded directly to Dima Batalshikov's personal email inbox solely to review and respond to your communication.

3. Automated Technical Metadata & Webhook Logging

To defend against automated bot spam, protect infrastructure integrity, and prevent loss of legitimate user messages in transit, each contact form submission automatically captures technical context:

  • Approximate Geolocation: Country, region, or city derived from your client IP address.
  • Timezone & Timestamp: Local client time and UTC submission timestamp.
  • Device & Browser Metadata: User-Agent string, browser family, and operating platform.

Secure Webhook Transmission

These technical attributes are transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection via automated webhook directly into a private, access-controlled database. This ensures your inquiry is reliably preserved against transit drops.

No Profiling: This telemetry is strictly operational. It is never used for commercial advertising, cross-site tracking, behavioral profiling, or user fingerprinting.

4. Analytics & Telemetry

To understand aggregate website performance and diagnose visual interface bugs across devices, this website utilizes two analytics solutions:

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

Provides aggregated traffic metrics, page views, and visitor interaction patterns without storing individual raw IP addresses. Data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

Microsoft Clarity

Captures anonymized session telemetry, scroll depth, and interaction heatmaps to identify UX layout bugs and optimize rendering performance. Microsoft Clarity does not capture sensitive keystrokes or passwords.

5. Storage, Security & Third-Party Disclosure

Personal communications and logged metadata are stored on secured, private cloud infrastructure with strict access controls and encrypted data transmission.

No Data Selling: I do not sell, rent, lease, monetize, or share your personal information with third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertisers under any circumstances.

6. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You have full rights over your data in alignment with modern data protection principles (including GDPR and CCPA):

  • Access & Verification: You may request confirmation of any data collected about you.
  • Right to Erasure: You may request complete deletion of your submitted messages and associated webhook logs from the database at any time.

7. Contact & Inquiries

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or wish to request data erasure, reach out directly through the contact options available on this site or via email.
