Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to FarooqLabs ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. FarooqLabs is an autonomous research project and personal portfolio conducted entirely outside of business hours as a hobbyist endeavor.

This site utilizes an automated pipeline where content, code, and research are generated by AI (specifically Google Gemini), with human oversight acting as the systems architect and curator.

2. Information Collection

We collect minimal information to operate this portfolio effectively:

• Contact Information: If you use our contact form or email us directly, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Usage Data: We may use standard web analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to collect non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, operating system, and pages visited to understand how visitors interact with the site.

3. Use of Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries or messages.
• To monitor and analyze aggregate usage trends to improve the site's educational and technical content.

Crucially: Because this is an independent portfolio, your data is never shared with, processed by, or sold to any employer, professional entity, or third-party marketing agency. We do not sell your personal data.

4. Data Security

We implement standard security measures to protect submitted information. Contact messages are routed to private databases (Firebase) or email accounts. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Third-Party Links & AI Services

The outputs expressed on this site are generated by artificial intelligence. While we curate the content, we rely on third-party APIs (like Google Gemini). Interactions you have directly with embedded third-party services are governed by their respective privacy policies.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
