Effective date: 8 April 2026
KarthickDev is a personal portfolio application created by Karthick Raja V.
This Privacy Policy explains how the app handles information when you use it.
## Information Collection and Use
KarthickDev does not require account creation and does not directly collect, store, or share personal data on its own servers.
The app displays portfolio content and provides optional actions such as:
- Opening external links such as GitHub and LinkedIn
- Opening the device email app to let you send a message manually
- Opening the device dialer if you choose to call
If you use the contact form inside the app, the information you enter, such as your name, email address, subject, and message, is used only to prefill your email application on your device. That information is not stored by KarthickDev inside a backend service controlled by the app.
## External Services
When you choose to open external links or external apps, those third-party services may collect information according to their own privacy policies. This may include:
- Your email provider when you send an email
- Your phone app or telecom provider when you place a call
- GitHub when you open a GitHub profile or repository
- LinkedIn when you open a LinkedIn profile
Please review the privacy policies of those third-party services separately.
## Permissions
KarthickDev may request network access so that links and external actions can be opened correctly. The app does not request unnecessary sensitive permissions such as contacts, location, camera, microphone, or storage access for its core functionality.
## Children's Privacy
KarthickDev is not directed to children under the age of 13 and is not designed for child-focused use.
## Data Security
KarthickDev is designed to minimize data handling. Since the app does not maintain its own user account system or backend database for submitted personal information, the amount of data processed directly by the app is limited.
## Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any updates will be reflected on the page where this policy is published.
