PRIVACY · LAST UPDATED 11 OCTOBER 2026
What Kernel holds about you, and what it does with it.
One person runs Kernel: Harsha Kotthapalli, in Dubai. This page lists the personal data the site and the app hold, why they hold it, who else handles it, and how to get it deleted.
01 · WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
Harsha Kotthapalli, trading as Kernel, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Email harsha2085@gmail.com. Kernel has no data protection officer. I answer privacy emails myself, within 30 days.
02 · WHAT KERNEL HOLDS
| WHEN | WHAT | WHY |
|---|---|---|
| You sign in with Google | Your name, email address and profile picture, and when you signed in | To create your account and sign you in |
| You give Kernel your site | Your site's address and the text of its public pages | To write your record |
| You work on your record | Your answers and notes, including anything you type about calls and the people you spoke to | To keep your record and name your next step |
| You run the free GTM Map | The site address you entered, the page that sent you, and a scrambled form of your IP address | To run the map and to stop one address running it without limit |
| You fill in a form or ask for a check | Your email address, your site, your answers and your message | To send what you asked for and to reply |
| You tick the updates box | Your email address and that choice | To email you updates |
| You visit any page | Pages viewed, the site you came from, device type and country, counted by the host | To see which pages people read |
Notes about other people are yours to justify. Leave out anything they would not want stored.
03 · WHAT KERNEL DOES NOT DO
- Kernel shows no advertising and sets no advertising cookies.
- Kernel does not sell or rent personal data.
- Kernel reads public pages only. It reads nothing behind a login.
- Kernel asks for no card and takes no payment today.
- An AI model reads your public pages and drafts your record. It makes no decision about you as a person.
04 · WHO ELSE HANDLES IT
| SERVICE | WHAT IT DOES | WHAT IT SEES |
|---|---|---|
| Lovable | Hosts the site, the database and sign-in | Everything in section 02 |
| Google sign-in | Confirms who you are | That you signed in to Kernel |
| Google Gemini, through Lovable's AI gateway | Reads pages and drafts the record | The text of your public pages |
| Google Workspace | Carries email to and from harsha2085@gmail.com | Anything you email me |
| Calendly | Books calls | What you enter on its booking page, under Calendly's own privacy policy |
These services run outside the United Arab Emirates and outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Each one handles the data under its own published data processing terms.
05 · HOW LONG KERNEL KEEPS IT
Your account, your record, your map results and your form entries stay until you ask me to delete them. I delete them within 30 days of your email.
The scrambled IP entries that limit map runs are removed after 35 days.
06 · YOUR RIGHTS
Email harsha2085@gmail.com and I will do any of these within 30 days.
- Show you what Kernel holds about you
- Correct it
- Delete it
- Send you a copy you can take elsewhere
- Stop a use you object to
- Withdraw a consent you gave
You do not have to give Kernel any of this. Without a Google sign-in there is no account. The free GTM Map works without one.
For readers under EU or UK law, the legal grounds are these. Your account and record rest on the contract between us. Abuse limits, visit counts and replies to enquiries rest on legitimate interest. Update emails rest on your consent.
You can complain to your data protection authority in the EU or UK, or to the UAE Data Office.
07 · COOKIES AND BROWSER STORAGE
Kernel sets no advertising cookies. The host sets two cookies. One, session-id, counts visits and lasts 30 minutes. The other, __cf_bm, comes from Cloudflare and blocks bots. Your browser also keeps your sign-in session on app.kernelpmm.com, the currency you chose on the pricing pages, and your scroll position.
08 · AGE
Kernel is for people running companies. It is not meant for anyone under 18.
09 · CHANGES TO THIS PAGE
When this page changes, the date at the top changes. If a change affects data Kernel already holds about you, I email you before it takes effect.
