This Privacy Policy explains how Tan Qi Yang ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit tanqiyang.com (the "Website").
We aim to collect as little personal information as reasonably necessary to operate this portfolio and blog.
If you contact us through the Website, you may provide:
We use this information to read, respond to, and manage your inquiry.
We do not operate our own database for storing contact form submissions. Instead, submissions are processed by Web3Forms and forwarded to our designated email address.
Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information through the contact form.
We use Umami Cloud to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve its content and performance.
Umami is a privacy-focused analytics service. Its standard analytics does not use cookies or collect personal information intended to identify individual visitors.
Analytics information may include:
We use this information only for general website analytics and improvement.
We use the following third-party services to operate the Website:
These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services. Some of these services process or store information on servers located outside Malaysia. By submitting information through our contact form, you explicitly consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your data outside of Malaysia.
Cloudflare is used only for DNS management. Our Website's DNS records are configured as DNS-only rather than proxied through Cloudflare.
Cloudflare therefore does not act as the CDN or HTTP proxy for normal Website traffic.
We may use information you provide to:
We do not sell your personal information.
We do not use information submitted through the contact form for unrelated marketing purposes.
The Website does not intentionally use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Third-party services may use their own technical mechanisms where necessary to provide their services.
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Contact form messages may remain in our email account for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and manage the inquiry.
Web3Forms may also temporarily retain contact form submissions according to its own retention practices. At the time of writing, Web3Forms states that submissions are stored for 30 days on its free plans and one year on its Pro plans.
Analytics data is retained by Umami Cloud according to the applicable Umami Cloud service and plan.
Where personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.
We may disclose personal information to the third-party service providers described in this Privacy Policy where necessary for them to provide their services.
We may also disclose information where required or permitted by applicable Malaysian law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.

This Website is not specifically directed toward children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any changes will be published on this page, together with an updated "Last updated" date.
