Privacy Policy
Last updated: 19 July 2026
Your privacy matters. This website, mahens.com, is designed to collect as little data as possible and to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and comparable privacy laws. In plain terms: this is a static informational website that does not track you.
1. Who is responsible
This website is operated by Mahen Samaranayake. For any privacy question or request, contact mahen@ssipl.lk.
2. Cookies & tracking
- This website sets no cookies for advertising, analytics, or tracking.
- There are no third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, or similar).
- A single, optional entry may be stored in your browser's local storage, solely to remember that you dismissed the on-page privacy notice. It contains no personal data, is never sent to any server, and you can clear it at any time from your browser settings.
3. Fonts & assets
All fonts, icons, images, scripts, and stylesheets are self-hosted on this website's own server. Unlike sites that load fonts or libraries from external content-delivery networks, this website makes no background requests to third parties, so your IP address is not shared with any external provider simply by visiting.
4. Data you choose to share
This website has no contact forms and does not collect personal information automatically. If you choose to contact via email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or another linked service, the information you send is processed by you and by that service under its own privacy terms. Email correspondence is retained only as long as needed to respond and maintain a record of our communication.
5. External links
This website links to external sites and platforms (for example LinkedIn, GitHub, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, and venture websites such as Noimos, EduCluster, and Catwa). Once you follow a link, you are subject to that destination's own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.
6. Server logs
Like virtually all websites, the hosting provider may automatically record standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and time of request) in server logs for security and reliability. These logs are handled by the hosting provider and are not used to profile or track individual visitors.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar frameworks you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you, to object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. Because this website itself collects no personal data, such requests generally relate only to email correspondence you have initiated. To exercise any right, email mahen@ssipl.lk.
8. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
