Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what information skandadev.com collects, how it is used, and the choices you have when using this website.

This website is operated by Gomezgani Skanda Kaunda, based in Blantyre, Malawi. Questions about this policy: hello@skandadev.com.

1. Information I collect

Information you provide

If you use the contact form, you may send your name, email address, and the message or other details you choose to include. That information is given voluntarily and is used to reply to your enquiry.

Please do not send passwords, payment details, identification documents, or other sensitive information through the form unless it has been specifically requested and is appropriate.

Information collected automatically

When you visit, the website and its hosting or analytics services may collect technical information automatically. This can include IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages visited, referring website, approximate location derived from technical data, date and time of requests, and performance or diagnostic information. Some of this may appear in standard hosting or server logs.

2. How I use your information

Information collected through this website may be used to:

  • Respond to messages and enquiries
  • Operate and maintain the website
  • Improve performance and user experience
  • Count visits and understand how the website is used through Google Analytics
  • Detect, prevent, and investigate security issues or misuse
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

I do not sell your personal information.

3. Contact form

Submissions are sent to me by email so I can respond. Contacting me does not, by itself, add you to a marketing list. Please only share what you are comfortable sending.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Some cookies are necessary for the site to work, including visitor analytics. Optional cookies — performance and marketing — stay off until you consent.

Necessary

A first-party cookie named skanda_consent stores your cookie preference for about 30 days. Hosting logs needed to operate, secure, and deliver the site are also treated as necessary.

Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-Q9Y7G4ZSC4) is treated as necessary so I can see how many people visit the site and which pages they view. Google may set cookies such as _ga and related identifiers, and process technical data including IP address, device and browser type, and approximate location.

Performance

If you allow performance cookies, tools such as Vercel Speed Insights may measure page loading and Core Web Vitals. This category is not activated unless you opt in.

Marketing

If you allow marketing cookies, third-party advertising, remarketing, or social-media technologies may be activated. Those partners may set or access their own cookies or similar identifiers. Marketing stays disabled unless you turn it on.

5. Managing your cookie choices

You can accept all optional cookies, reject them, or choose categories. Preferences are remembered for about 30 days. Change them at any time with .

6. Third-party services

The site may use third parties for hosting, performance monitoring, email delivery, or other functionality. They process technical or personal information as needed to provide those services.

Hosting is on Vercel. Infrastructure providers may process request and security logs as part of delivering and protecting the website. Visitor analytics are provided by Google Analytics. Optional third-party tools follow your cookie preferences where those preferences apply.

7. Data retention

Personal information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected. Contact-form messages may stay in email records while needed to communicate, keep business records, or resolve disputes. Technical and hosting logs may be retained by providers under their own operational policies.

8. Data security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect information submitted through this website from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, so please do not submit highly sensitive or confidential information through the contact form.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may be able to ask what personal information I hold, request correction or deletion where appropriate, withdraw consent for optional cookies, or ask how your information is used. Privacy-related requests: hello@skandadev.com. I may need to verify a request before acting, to protect your information.

10. Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing. If you believe a child has provided personal information here, contact me so I can review it and take appropriate action.

11. External websites

This website may link to other sites or platforms. I am not responsible for their privacy practices, content, or security. Review those policies before you share personal information with them.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the website, technologies used, or legal requirements. When that happens, the last-updated date at the top of this page will change.
