Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Welcome to the most entertaining legal document you'll ever read! It's like a Netflix special, but for privacy and copyright. Grab some popcorn! 🍿

The TL;DR Version

All content on this site is my intellectual property and is fully protected by copyright laws worldwide. I don't collect your personal data, but I vigorously defend my creative work. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of any content from this site will result in legal action faster than you can say "I didn't read the terms." I take my intellectual property rights extremely seriously—please respect my work and request permission before any use, or we'll have to do the legal tango, and trust me, I've got two left feet but still know all the steps.

Privacy Policy: The "I'm Not Watching You" Edition

Unlike your ex on social media, I don't track your every move. This website is a data-collection-free zone! I don't use cookies (except the ones I eat while designing), I don't track your browsing habits, and I certainly don't sell your data to mysterious entities in dark alleys or to that one friend who's always trying to sell you essential oils.

If you contact me through the form, I'll only use your information to respond to your inquiry and maybe add you to my "cool people I've met" mental list. Your data will be treated like a precious vintage wine – stored safely and not shared with random strangers or that cousin who keeps asking for "business opportunities."

Think of this site as Vegas: what happens here, stays here. Except, unlike Vegas, you won't wake up with a tiger in your bathroom and a missing tooth.

Technical Stuff Alert: My site might use minimal technical cookies that are necessary for the site to function properly. These aren't the invasive kind that follow you around the internet like a clingy ex – they're more like the shy friend who just helps out when needed and doesn't post your embarrassing photos on social media. They're the "good cookies" – unlike those disappointing ones that look like chocolate chip but turn out to be raisin.

Copyright & Intellectual Property

All content on this website is my exclusive intellectual property – including but not limited to designs, text, graphics, logos, images, videos, UI elements, code, concepts, methodologies, and the compilation thereof. This content is protected by copyright laws in India and internationally, as well as by trade secret and unfair competition laws. Think of it as my digital children – I made them, I raised them, and I'll defend them with the ferocity of a parent whose kid just got pushed in the playground.

My work represents years of education, expertise, and creative effort. As such, I maintain and enforce all intellectual property rights associated with my work to the fullest extent of the law. It's like I spent years baking the perfect cake, and you're welcome to admire it, but please don't stick your fingers in the frosting without asking.

In legally binding terms: All rights are reserved. Any reproduction, distribution, modification, adaptation, public display, public performance, creation of derivative works, or any other use of the content without prior explicit written permission is strictly prohibited and constitutes a serious violation of intellectual property law. In other words, it's a big no-no that could lead to legal consequences more uncomfortable than sitting on a cactus.

Prohibited Actions (Subject to Legal Enforcement):

  • Copying, reproducing, or using any content without my explicit written permission (that means no "borrowing" like your roommate "borrows" your favorite sweater)
  • Distributing, publicly displaying, or publicly performing any content from this website (no matter how much you want to impress your friends)
  • Creating derivative works based on any content from this website (even if you think your version is "better")
  • Using any content for commercial purposes without a proper license (that's like taking someone's car for Uber without asking)
  • Removing any copyright or other proprietary notices from the content (those little © symbols aren't just decorative)
  • Scraping, data mining, or using automated means to collect content from this site (my content isn't Pokémon – you can't "catch 'em all")
  • Framing or embedding this website or its content on other websites (it's not a painting, don't frame it)
  • Using my designs or portfolio work in AI training datasets (my work didn't consent to be part of your robot army)

Content Protection Measures:

This website employs various technical protection measures including:

  • Right-click protection to prevent easy downloading of images
  • Invisible digital watermarking on visual content
  • Metadata tracking that identifies the source of content
  • Regular web monitoring for unauthorized use of my content

These measures exist to protect my intellectual property and are backed by my commitment to legal enforcement when necessary.

Legal Jurisdiction & Enforcement

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, applicable international copyright conventions, and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in India. In simpler terms, if we have a legal disagreement, we're playing by Indian rules on Indian turf – so brush up on your cricket knowledge just in case.

Enforcement Process:

In the event of unauthorized use of my intellectual property, I will take the following steps:

  1. Issue a formal cease and desist notice requiring immediate removal of content (think of it as a "please stop that" letter, but with more legal jargon)
  2. Submit DMCA takedown notices to hosting providers, search engines, and platforms (the digital equivalent of "I'm telling your mom")
  3. Pursue all available legal remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief (that's when the judge says "knock it off")
  4. Seek monetary damages for copyright infringement (statutory and actual) (this is where your wallet starts to feel very, very sad)
  5. Recover legal costs and attorney fees incurred in enforcing my rights (because lawyers don't work for exposure or high-fives)
  6. When appropriate, pursue criminal charges for willful copyright infringement (this is the "finding out" part after the "messing around")

Statutory damages for copyright infringement can be substantial – up to ₹2,000,000 in India or $150,000 per work in the US for willful infringement. Additionally, criminal penalties may include imprisonment in cases of willful commercial infringement. That's enough money to buy a small island or a lifetime supply of instant ramen, depending on your financial philosophy. And prison jumpsuits rarely come in fashionable colors, just saying.

DMCA Compliance:

This website complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on this site without permission, please submit a DMCA notice to:

khwahish4@icloud.com

Your notice must include:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
  • Identification of the allegedly infringing material
  • Your contact information
  • A statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorized
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
  • Your physical or electronic signature

Limited Permissions & Licensing

All rights to my work are explicitly reserved. Limited quotation or use of content for educational, non-commercial purposes may be permitted under fair use doctrines in some jurisdictions, but I strongly recommend contacting me first to avoid any legal issues. It's like borrowing your neighbor's lawnmower – always better to ask first than to explain why you're returning it in pieces.

I do selectively offer licenses for specific uses of my work. These licenses are granted on a case-by-case basis and require a formal written agreement that specifies the exact scope, duration, and limitations of use. Think of it as getting permission to use the fancy china – you can do it, but there are conditions, and if you break it, you bought it.

For permissions, licensing inquiries, or collaboration opportunities, please contact me at khwahish4@icloud.com. Unauthorized use will be met with legal action, while respectful requests for permission will be considered promptly. I'm like a bouncer at an exclusive club – polite requests get you in, trying to sneak past gets you a one-way trip to the curb.

Data Retention & Deletion

While I don't collect much personal data, any information you provide through contact forms is stored securely and only used for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. I retain this information only as long as necessary to fulfill this purpose, which is shorter than most people keep leftovers in their fridge.

You have the right to request deletion of any personal information I may have collected from you. To exercise this right, please email me at khwahish4@icloud.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request." I'll delete your data faster than you delete embarrassing photos after a night out.

Your privacy matters to me more than that last piece of pizza, and that's saying something because I really love pizza.

A Final, Important Note

As a UX designer and creative professional, my work is my livelihood and represents countless hours of effort, education, and expertise. While this policy is written with some humor, the protection of intellectual property is a matter I take with the utmost seriousness – like how I feel about people who put pineapple on pizza or use Comic Sans unironically.

I genuinely appreciate your respect for creative work – not just mine, but that of all designers and creators. Unauthorized use not only violates the law but undermines the value of creative work. It's like skipping the line at a theme park – sure, you might get on the ride faster, but you're making the experience worse for everyone else, and eventually, the park closes down because nobody wants to pay for tickets anymore.

Thank you for understanding and for visiting my portfolio with respect for these principles. You're awesome, and not just in the generic "everyone is awesome" way, but in the specific "you read a legal document all the way to the end" way, which is pretty rare and definitely awesome.
