Who we are
Rainsystems is an editorial operations studio. This policy covers rainsystems.app and the forms on it. Any question about your data goes to hello@rainsystems.app.
What we collect
The newsletter. When you subscribe, we store the email address you enter. That's all; no name required.
Inquiries. When you use the inquiry form, we store what you write and any contact details you choose to share, so we can reply.
Analytics. We use self-hosted Umami (on our own server) for page views. It's cookieless and privacy-respecting: we see, in aggregate, which pages are read, the referring site, the browser (user-agent) and the screen size. No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles.
Why we collect it
To do the thing you asked for: send the newsletter you signed up for, reply to your inquiry, and understand which pages are worth keeping. We don't sell your data, and we don't share it except with the processors named below.
Where it lives
Inquiries and newsletter sign-ups reach us by email through Gmail, so Google processes those messages and they live in our inbox. We don't keep them in a separate database. Umami analytics runs on our own server. The site itself runs on Google Cloud Run and Cloudflare.
Our form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to block spam — cookieless; Cloudflare receives basic request data on submit but does not track you across sites.
How long we keep it
Newsletter: until you ask us to remove you. Inquiries: for as long as we're in contact about your project, or until you ask us to delete them. You can ask any time.
Your choices
To stop receiving the newsletter, or to see and delete anything we hold about you, email hello@rainsystems.app and we'll take care of it.
Cookies
We don't use cookies for analytics or tracking. Umami and Cloudflare Turnstile are cookieless. The only thing we keep in your browser is your theme preference (light/dark), in localStorage — not a cookie, and not used to track you. No third-party advertising cookies.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
Ask us anything about your data.
We usually reply within a couple of hours during working hours.
