Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This website functions as the engineering portfolio and technical demonstration platform of Muhammad Ali Nasir. This Privacy Policy documents how data is processed, stored, and protected when you browse the site or interact with its interactive architecture sandboxes and portfolio assistant.

The site is engineered with a strict data-minimization philosophy: no advertising trackers, no commercial profiling, and no surveillance pixels are embedded.

2. Client-Side Local Storage

This website utilizes browser localStorage solely for persisting functional client preferences across page reloads. These items include:

• theme: Records your chosen UI color mode preference.
• chat_sound: Records audio mute/unmute state for message events.
• chat_history: Stores recent interactive queries within your browser session so you can review previous responses during your visit.

This data remains strictly on your local device and is never transmitted to marketing networks or behavioral trackers. You can clear this data at any time via your browser developer tools or settings.

3. Portfolio Assistant & Inference Requests

When you submit a prompt through the interactive portfolio assistant (Ask Ali), your query is transmitted to an inference endpoint (such as Groq API or self-hosted router) solely to synthesize a technical response based on project documentation and published research.

• Inference queries are processed in memory and are not compiled into commercial training datasets.
• No personally identifiable information (PII) is required or requested to use the assistant.
• Please do not submit confidential, private, or sensitive credentials through the demo chat interface.

4. Infrastructure & Hosting Logs

This portfolio is hosted as a static site on GitHub Pages. When your browser requests assets from this domain, standard server connection logs may be generated by the infrastructure provider. These logs typically capture:

• IP address and referring URL
• Browser user-agent and operating system
• Date, timestamp, and requested file path

These access logs are maintained by GitHub for infrastructure diagnostics, DDoS mitigation, and operational security in accordance with the GitHub Privacy Statement.

5. External Repositories & Third-Party Services

The portfolio links to external engineering platforms and academic portals, including:

• GitHub (repository code, issue trackers, and pull requests)
• PyPI (Python package releases and downloads)
• Springer Nature (peer-reviewed research publication)
• LinkedIn (professional networking)

Clicking external links redirects your browser to third-party domains governed by their respective privacy terms and practices.

6. Inquiries & Data Rights
