Privacy & Terms.

Who runs this site.

mrvampcruz.com is a personal portfolio site operated by Altaaf Hamod (online handle: MrVampCruz), an individual based in Mauritius. It is not run by a company. For any privacy- or data-related question, the fastest channel is altaaf@mrvampcruz.com.

What the site collects.

The only feature on this site that collects personal data is the contact form. Browsing the rest of the site does not require an account, does not set tracking cookies, and does not feed analytics or advertising platforms.

1. Information you type in

When you submit the contact form, the following fields are sent to me along with your message:

• Name — whatever you put in the name field.
• Email address — so I can reply to you.
• Subject — optional.
• Message — the content you wrote.

2. Technical info your browser shares automatically

When you submit the form, the page also collects a snapshot of non-sensitive technical details about your device and browser. This is used to help me debug issues, spot spam/automated submissions, and understand the context a message was sent from. Specifically:

• User agent string — your browser and OS identifier.
• Language & languages — preferred languages set in your browser.
• Platform — e.g. Win32, MacIntel, Linux x86_64.
• Cookies enabled — whether your browser accepts cookies.
• Online status — whether the browser reports being online.
• Hardware concurrency — number of logical CPU cores reported.
• Device memory — approximate RAM bucket reported by the browser (when available).
• Max touch points — for distinguishing touch devices.
• Screen size — total screen width × height and available width × height.
• Color depth and pixel ratio — display characteristics.
• Viewport size — current browser window dimensions.
• Timezone, timezone offset and locale — your reported region/locale.
• Network connection — effective connection type, downlink, round-trip time and data-saver flag (when the browser exposes this).
• Document referrer — the page that linked you to the contact page (if any).
• Current page URL — the URL the form was submitted from.

3. Information derived from the network request

Every HTTP request to a server includes some metadata. When you submit the form, the following are read from the request and stored alongside your message:

• IP address — taken from x-forwarded-for, x-real-ip, or cf-connecting-ip headers.
• User-Agent header — same browser identifier as above, as seen by the server.
• Accept-Language and Accept-Encoding headers.
• Referer and Origin headers.
• Approximate country — derived by Cloudflare from your IP (cf-ipcountry).
• Cloudflare Ray ID (cf-ray) — a request identifier used for diagnosing delivery issues.

Why this is collected.

• To reply to you — name, email, subject and message are needed to read and respond.
• Spam & abuse prevention — IP, user agent, country and request headers help filter out automated submissions and abuse.
• Debugging — if a message fails to deliver or arrives malformed, the technical snapshot helps me reproduce the issue.
• Security — to detect and respond to malicious traffic against the site or the contact endpoint.

Your data is not sold, rented, traded, used for advertising, or used to build a profile of you. It is not used for marketing of any kind.

Where the data goes.

Submissions are forwarded from this site to a backend API that I operate, which sends the message to my personal mailbox and stores a record of the submission so I can keep track of conversations. The infrastructure path is:

• Cloudflare — fronts the site and the API; provides DDoS protection and the IP-country lookup.
• My backend API & mailer — receives the submission, stores it, and dispatches the email to me.
• Email provider — delivers the resulting email to my inbox.

Data may transit through, or be temporarily stored in, jurisdictions outside your own (including the EU and the US) purely as part of normal email and CDN routing.

How long it's kept.

• Email copy — kept in my mailbox for as long as the conversation is useful, just like any other email I receive.
• Stored submission record — kept while it's relevant for follow-up; deleted on request.
• Server / edge logs — short retention windows controlled by the hosting provider and Cloudflare, used for security and debugging.

Your rights.

You can ask me, at any time, to:

• Tell you what data I have about you.
• Correct anything that's wrong.
• Delete your submission and any associated technical data.
• Stop processing your data further.

Email altaaf@mrvampcruz.com from the address you originally contacted me with, and I'll action it. There is no form to fill in.
