Who We Are
This website is operated by Anup Moitra. Our website address is: https://anupmoitra.com
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact Forms
When you use our contact forms, we collect your name, email address, and any message you choose to send. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and improve user experience. Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited. This data is anonymized and used for statistical purposes only.
You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain our website
- To respond to your comments, questions, and requests
- To improve our website and user experience
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues
- To comply with legal obligations
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as described in this policy:

- Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
