This Privacy Policy explains how I, Nyochembeng Enzo Nkengafack, collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide when you use my portfolio website (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
I am a Software Engineer currently based in Grottaferrata, Rome, Italy. This Site is my personal portfolio where I showcase my work, share blog posts, and make it easy for potential clients and collaborators to reach me.
I only collect personal information when you voluntarily provide it, or when it is automatically generated through your interaction with the Site.
When you fill out and submit my contact form, I collect the following:
I forward this information directly to my personal email to respond to you. I do not store any of this data in a database.
When you leave a comment on one of my blog posts, I collect your display name and email address. I save these credentials in my database to identify you as the author of your comments. They are also saved in your browser's local storage so that the Site can recognize you as the commenter on future visits — with no sign-in or account creation required.
When you like a comment, I do not collect or store any personal credentials in my database. However, a record of your like is saved in your browser's local storage permanently (until you clear your browser data) to prevent you from liking the same comment more than once.
When you react to one of my blog posts to express how you felt after reading it, I do not collect or store any personal identity in my database. Your reaction is stored locally in your browser for up to 7 days, after which it expires automatically. I use this solely to understand how my content resonates with readers.
When you subscribe to my newsletter, I collect your email address. I use it to send you updates whenever I publish or significantly update a project or blog post. Your email is managed through Resend.
My Site includes an AI-powered assistant built on the Grok model. Your conversation history with the assistant is stored temporarily in your browser's local storage for the duration of your browsing session. Once you close or restart your browser, the chat history is permanently cleared. I never store your chat history on my servers or in any database.
I use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymized, aggregated data about how visitors use my Site — such as page views, referrer URLs, device type, and geographic region. This data contains no personally identifiable information and cannot be linked to any individual visitor.
I use Google reCAPTCHA on my forms to protect against spam and automated submissions. reCAPTCHA may collect hardware and software information from your device and send it to Google for analysis. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
I also use Upstash for rate limiting to protect my Site against abuse and excessive automated requests. Upstash may transiently process IP addresses or request metadata for this purpose.
I use the information I collect strictly for the following purposes:
Contact form data: To read and respond to your message via my personal email.
I process your personal data based on the following legal grounds under the GDPR:
Below is a breakdown of what data is collected, where it is stored, and how long it is kept.
I rely on the following third-party services to operate my Site. Each has its own privacy policy which I encourage you to review:
I do not use advertising or tracking cookies on my Site. Vercel Analytics operates without cookies, relying entirely on anonymized, aggregated signals.
That said, my Site does make use of browser local storage for the following functional purposes:
None of this local storage data is used for advertising or cross-site tracking, and it never leaves your device except as described in this policy.
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights over your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, reach out to me at: nyochembengn@gmail.com
I take the following measures to keep your data safe:
My Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data through my Site, please contact me immediately and I will delete it promptly.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as my Site evolves or as legal requirements change. When I do, I will update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of my Site after any update means you accept the revised policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way I handle your data, feel free to contact me:
Get in touch — I'm happy to clarify anything in this policy.
