1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Siddharth Mishra, operating under Gigaflop Techlab and DiscoverWebTech (collectively, “we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, and protects information you provide when visiting mishrasiddharth.com (the “Site”).
We take privacy seriously. This site is a professional portfolio and consulting inquiry platform — we collect the minimum information necessary to respond to enquiries and operate the Site effectively. We do not sell personal data. We do not run advertising.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
Enquiry and contact data — When you email us at hello@mishrasiddharth.com, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
Booking and calendar data — When you book a discovery call via cal.com/gigafloptechlab, that platform collects your name, email address, time zone, and any notes you provide. This is governed by Cal.com’s Privacy Policy.
Analytics and usage data — We use Google Tag Manager (GTM-MMB429V2), which may load analytics tools. These collect standard web metrics: pages visited, time on site, approximate geographic location (country/city level), browser type, and referral source. This data is aggregated and not linked to your identity.
Technical data — Standard server and browser data including IP address, browser version, and access timestamps, collected automatically by hosting infrastructure.
We do not collect payment information directly. Billing for engagements is handled through separate invoicing systems outside this Site.
3. How We Use Your Information

- To assess whether our services are a good fit for your needs
- To fulfil an engagement or project if you become a client

We do not use your information for automated profiling or decision-making that produces legal or significant effects.
