Welcome to RainmeterPRO ("we", "our", "us"), accessible at rainmeterpro.in. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
We only collect personal information you voluntarily provide:
- Skin Submissions: When you submit a skin via our submission form, we collect your name, email address, and the details of your submission (skin title, author, category, description, and URLs).
1.2 Automatically Collected Data
When you visit our site, we automatically collect limited technical data to operate the website and understand aggregate usage patterns:
- IP Address (anonymised): We store a one-way hash of your IP address combined with the current date. We cannot reverse this to identify you. This is used solely to deduplicate page view counts.
- Page Views: Which pages you visit and when, stored against your anonymised IP hash.
- Country: We derive your approximate country from your IP address using a third-party geolocation API (ip-api.com). Only the country name is stored — never the raw IP.
- User Agent & Referrer: Your browser type and the page that sent you here, for aggregate analytics.
2. Cookies
We use only essential session cookies required for the site to function correctly. We do not use tracking cookies or persistent advertising cookies ourselves.
If Google AdSense is active on the site, Google may place its own cookies on your device to serve and measure relevant advertisements. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalized ads via Google's Ad Settings.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To review and process skin submissions you send us.
- To respond to your enquiries if you contact us via email.
- To understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve the site (using anonymised data only).
- To detect and prevent abuse or spam submissions.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
4. Third-Party Services
Our site uses the following third-party services that may process data on your behalf:
- Google AdSense — We display advertisements served by Google. Google may use cookies and browsing data to serve relevant ads. See Google Advertising Policy.
- Google Fonts — We load web fonts from Google's servers. Your browser sends a request to Google when loading the fonts.
- ip-api.com — Used server-side to resolve country names from visitor IP addresses. Only country data is retained. See ip-api legal information.
- External Skin Hosts — Skin download links point to third-party hosts (DeviantArt, GitHub, etc.). We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
5. Data Retention
- Visitor analytics data is retained for up to 12 months then purged.
- Skin submission data is retained for as long as necessary to process your submission. Rejected submissions may be deleted within 90 days.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
- Object to certain processing activities.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@rainmeterpro.in. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us for immediate removal.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
