Privacy Policy

CodeHaven (codehaven.in) is operated by Kunal Bhayana. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit our website, why we collect it, and your choices regarding that data.

1. Data We Collect

Analytics data (with your consent): When you accept cookies, we load Google Analytics 4 (GA4), which collects anonymised usage data such as pages visited, time on page, device type, browser, approximate geographic region, and referral source. Google may set cookies on your browser to distinguish unique visits.

Vercel Analytics: We use Vercel's built-in Web Analytics to monitor site performance (page load times, Web Vitals). Vercel Analytics is privacy-friendly and does not use cookies or collect personally identifiable information.

Contact information you provide: If you reach out via WhatsApp or email, the information you share in that conversation (name, message content) is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

2. Cookies

On your first visit you will see a cookie consent banner. If you click Accept, Google Analytics cookies are loaded. If you click Decline, no analytics cookies are set and GA4 does not run. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the banner does not appear again.

You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for codehaven.in and refreshing the page — the banner will reappear.

3. How We Use the Data

• Understand which topics and pages are most useful to students
• Identify and fix performance or usability issues
• Improve content quality and coverage over time

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

• Google Analytics 4 — usage analytics (only when consent is given). Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Vercel — hosting and privacy-friendly Web Analytics. Subject to Vercel's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. We do not maintain any separate database of visitor information.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Decline analytics cookies via the consent banner
