This Privacy Policy explains how Sharad Khare (“we”, “us”) handles information when you visit this website, browse course listings, or contact us.
We aim to collect only what is necessary, use it responsibly, and be clear about third-party platforms that host our learning videos or professional profiles.
1. Scope
This policy applies to this website and related pages operated by Sharad Khare, including About, Courses, Contact, and policy pages.
Third-party platforms — including LinkedIn, GitHub, Udemy, and YouTube — have their own privacy policies. Those policies govern data you provide directly to them.
2. Information we collect
Website visits. Like most websites, standard server and security logs may record technical data such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps. These logs help maintain security, diagnose errors, and understand general usage.
Contact. This site does not use an on-site contact form that stores messages in a database. Professional contact is handled through LinkedIn. Information you share there is governed by LinkedIn’s policies and our engagement practices.
Consulting engagements. If you enter a formal advisory relationship, we may process additional business information as agreed in proposals, scope documents, or confidentiality agreements.
Course browsing. Viewing course cards on this site may load images hosted on this website. Clicking a course opens Udemy (or another linked host). Udemy may collect data under its own privacy policy when you enroll or watch videos.
3. How we use information
- Operate, secure, and improve this website
- Respond to LinkedIn inquiries and evaluate advisory fit
- Deliver consulting services under agreed scope
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell personal information.
4. Sharing and disclosure
We may share information only when reasonably necessary:
- With hosting or security providers that support this website
- When required by law, regulation, or to protect rights and safety
- With your explicit permission
5. Retention
Server logs are retained for a limited period appropriate to security and operations. Advisory records are retained according to engagement agreements and professional requirements.
6. Security
We apply reasonable measures to protect information we handle. No online transmission or storage method is completely secure. You use online services at your own risk and should protect access to your devices and accounts.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal information. For requests related to this website or advisory work, contact us via LinkedIn.
8. Children
This website is intended for adults and professional use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
9. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will reflect material changes. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
10. Contact
Privacy questions may be sent via LinkedIn or our Contact page.
