This policy explains how personal information is handled on rijal.co.nz, a personal portfolio website operated by Dipak Rijal in Auckland, New Zealand. It is written with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 in mind.
When you use the contact form, you voluntarily provide your name, email address, phone number, company, selected service type and message content.
The contact form is processed by FormSubmit and delivered to Dipak Rijal's Gmail inbox for reply purposes. FormSubmit and email systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser details and email routing metadata.
This website also uses third-party services that may collect technical and usage data such as IP address, device type, browser type, visited pages, approximate location, referral source and interaction events:
Information is used to respond to enquiries, assess whether a role or consulting request is relevant, maintain website security, understand site performance and improve the visitor experience.
Contact-form submissions are emailed to Dipak Rijal's Gmail account. Access is limited to Dipak Rijal unless disclosure is required by law or is necessary to respond to a legitimate enquiry.
Enquiry emails may be retained for a reasonable period for follow-up, professional record keeping and spam/security review. You may request deletion of your enquiry information at any time.
Because the website uses global technology providers, personal and technical information may be processed outside New Zealand by service providers such as Cloudflare, Google, Microsoft, FormSubmit and Gmail.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted through this website.
For privacy questions, email [email protected].
Storage only — excludes instance hours, backups, data transfer. Approximate on-demand rates, verify on AWS calculator.
Rule of thumb only. Real-world adds LOB scans, type-conversion overhead, target write throughput, and validation passes.
Based on the classic Brandur/Bonesco formula: connections ≈ cores × multiplier. Cap at 200 unless you've measured otherwise.
