Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-18

This policy explains how Rain Sounds handles personal information in connection with Rain Sounds at https://rainsoundsleeping.com. Publisher contact details: Rain Sounds is an independent digital publication. Contact us by email at [email protected] for website inquiries, accessibility feedback, rights concerns or privacy requests.. For privacy enquiries, contact [email protected].

Information and its sources

When you email us, we receive the address and information you choose to include. Please avoid sending sensitive or unnecessary information.

Technical information handled by our hosting and security services: Standard web hosting logs temporarily record technical connection data, including IP address, user-agent string, page URL and timestamp, strictly for security monitoring, rate limiting and service stability.

Player preferences, device storage and audio delivery: The audio player runs entirely locally in your browser. Client-side localStorage saves your selected volume level and favorited presets (under 'rain_sounds_favorites'). No listening history, duration logs or telemetry are transmitted to any remote server.

Other collection, including analytics, forms or accounts if present: Rain Sounds does not offer user accounts, registration, login sessions, comment forms or newsletter subscriptions. The only personal data received is information you voluntarily choose to include when contacting us by email.

Purposes and legal bases

We process technical connection logs and voluntary email correspondence on the basis of legitimate interests in maintaining website security, ensuring technical reliability and answering user inquiries.

Cookies, preferences and advertising

Rain Sounds does not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies. The site uses local browser storage (localStorage) solely to store non-tracking player preferences (volume and favorited sound presets). You can inspect or clear these preferences at any time in your browser settings.

This website does not display third-party advertisements or use advertising tracking networks.

Cookies and similar storage can include browser local storage. A preference stored on your device is different from a listening event sent to a remote analytics provider; the details above describe the actual setup.

Providers and disclosures

Static website files and visual assets are delivered via secure static hosting infrastructure. Typography is served via standard web font delivery. Email messages sent to our contact address are processed by secure email service providers.

We do not sell, rent or share personal information or email correspondence with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

An audio host or embedded provider may receive technical request information when its resources are requested. The provider list and audio-delivery description above identify the services actually used. External sites have their own policies.

Retention and processing locations

Server security logs are retained on a rotating basis for up to 30 days before automatic deletion. Inquiries sent by email are retained only as long as necessary to address the message, make any requested corrections, or comply with legal requirements.

Website content and hosting logs are processed within standard cloud hosting facilities. All connections are secured using modern HTTPS transport encryption.

Your privacy choices

You have the right to request access to or deletion of email correspondence you have sent to us. You can also clear your locally stored player preferences at any time via your browser settings.

You can contact [email protected] with a question or request. Applicable rights can depend on your location and the processing involved. We may need to verify a request appropriately before acting. Clearing local browser preferences does not by itself delete a message already sent to us.

Audience and children’s privacy

Rain Sounds is intended for a general audience seeking ambient background sounds for relaxation and focus. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 16.

Security and policy updates

We use safeguards appropriate to the website, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. This policy may change when our practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version; material changes will be communicated as required by applicable law.
