- Visit our website at Xoonfolio

- Create or manage your personal portfolio website

2. What Information Do We Collect?
Personal Information You Disclose to Us
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us.
- Contact Information: When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message content.
- Account Credentials: When you register for an account, we collect information necessary to create and secure your account, such as your username or email address, and password.
- Resume/CV Data: If you choose to upload a resume or CV, we collect the information contained within that document. This may include your work history, education, skills, contact details, and other professional information.
- Portfolio Content: We collect the information you choose to include in your personal portfolio website created through our Service. This can include text, images, project descriptions, skills, contact information, links to external sites, and potentially a Google Maps link you provide. You are responsible for the content you choose to display.
- Payment Information: When you make a payment, you will be redirected to our third-party payment processor, Razorpay. We do not directly collect or store your full credit card number or other sensitive payment details. Razorpay processes your payment information according to their own privacy policy. We may receive confirmation of payment and basic transaction details (like amount, date, and partial card info for identification) from Razorpay.
Information Automatically Collected
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information (IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, device name, country/location inferred from IP, usage statistics). This is primarily for security, operation, and basic internal analytics.
Additionally, embedded third-party services, such as Google Maps (when included by a user in their portfolio), may automatically collect information according to their own privacy policies.
3. How Do We Use Your Information?
We use your information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of our contract with you, compliance with our legal obligations, and/or your consent.

4. Will Your Information Be Shared With Anyone?
We only share information in specific situations and with specific parties:

- Vendors and Service Providers: We share necessary information with third parties that perform services for us:
- Web Hosting: Our website and database (SQL backend) are hosted by GoDaddy. They process data on our behalf as necessary to provide hosting services.
- Payment Processing: Payment details are processed directly by Razorpay. We share transaction details needed to initiate payment but not sensitive payment credentials. Please review Razorpay's Privacy Policy.
- Embedded Content / Third-Party Features: If you (or another user on their portfolio) include features like a Google Maps link, interacting with that feature may result in data being collected directly by Google, subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

- Business Transfers: In case of a merger, sale of assets, or acquisition, user information may be transferred as part of the business assets.

5. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
We use cookies primarily for essential functionality:
- Essential/Functional Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function correctly, such as keeping you logged into your account (session cookies). You cannot opt-out of these if you wish to use logged-in features.
- Third-Party Cookies: Our service providers like Razorpay (during payment) and embedded content providers like Google Maps may set their own cookies when you interact with their services through our platform. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for details.
We do **not** use cookies for our own standalone analytics tracking (like Google Analytics) or for displaying third-party advertisements on our site.
You can usually manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
6. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law (e.g., tax, accounting).
- Account Information: Kept as long as your account is active.
- Portfolio Content & Resumes: Kept as long as your account is active or until you choose to delete this specific content.
- Contact Form Submissions: Typically kept for a reasonable period to address the inquiry (e.g., 6 months), unless needed longer for legal reasons.
When we no longer need your information for operational or legal purposes, we will either delete or anonymize it, or securely store it and isolate it from further processing if deletion isn't immediately possible (e.g., backups).
7. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures (including using a secure SQL backend) designed to protect the personal information we process. However, no internet transmission or storage method is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security against unauthorized access or breaches. Transmission of data is at your own risk. Ensure you access our Services within a secure environment.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature. We do not currently respond to DNT browser signals as no uniform standard exists.
