Privacy policy.
effective September 6, 2026. this describes exactly what this site collects and why, in plain language.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to arbhaveshpanse.com, operated by Ar.Bhavesh Panse ("I", "me"), based in San Jose, California. It explains what information is collected from visitors, how it is used, and what rights you have over it.
Information you provide directly
If you use the free resources form on this site, I collect:
- your name
- your email address
- your app or website URL, if you choose to provide it (this field is optional)
That information is sent to a lead-management service I use to store and deliver the resource to you. It is used only to send you the resource you requested and, occasionally, to follow up about it. It is never sold, and it is not shared with anyone outside the service providers listed below.
If you email me directly, book a call, or message me on social media, I receive whatever information you choose to include in that message.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this one uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand which pages get read and how visitors arrive here. That collects standard, non-identifying data: approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, time on page, and referring site. This runs through cookies set by Google.
This site also uses your browser's local storage, not a cookie, to remember whether you have already unlocked the free resources, so you are not asked twice. That value never leaves your browser.
What does not collect anything
The calculators at /tools run entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter are never transmitted anywhere, not to this site, not to any analytics tool, not to me. That is a deliberate design decision, not an oversight.
Booking a call
The free breakdown call and any paid engagement are booked through Topmate (topmate.io/arbhavesh), a third-party scheduling platform. Information you enter there, including payment details for a paid booking, is handled under Topmate's own privacy policy, not this one.
Service providers
Information passes through a small number of third parties, each for one specific job:
- Google (Analytics and Tag Manager): site usage analytics.
- ZwayRank: stores form submissions from the free resources page and helps publish site content.
- Topmate: call booking and, for paid engagements, payment.
- Vercel: hosts this website and processes standard server logs (IP address, request time) for security and uptime.
None of these providers are permitted to use your information for their own marketing.
Cookies, in full
This site does not currently show a cookie consent banner. The only cookies set are the standard Google Analytics ones described above. There are no advertising or retargeting pixels on this site. If that changes, this policy will be updated first.
Your rights
You can ask, at any time, what information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email arbhaveshpanse@gmail.com and I will handle it directly, usually within a few days. This applies regardless of where you are visiting from, including the EU, UK, and India.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect information from them.
International visitors
This site is operated from the United States, and information collected here is processed in the United States. By using this site, you understand your information may be processed outside your own country.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in any way that affects what is collected or how it is used, the effective date at the top of this page will change, and the update will be described here rather than buried in a diff.
