Rain Sounds has no accounts, no cookies and no ads.

What stays on your device

Your settings, favourites, saved mixes and focus statistics are kept in your own browser (local storage), so the app remembers them next time. The “What are you working on?” text stays in the current tab and is cleared when you close it. None of this is sent to us: we have no server that receives it.

You can delete it at any time with the Clear and Reset buttons in Settings, or by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Services your browser contacts

To show where it is raining, the app asks this site for the current weather at its 60 fixed places. Our server fetches that from MET Norway (data under CC BY 4.0) without passing on anything about you, and never for your location. Fonts and map data are also served from this site, so your browser contacts no third parties.

This site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes visitors’ IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site, as any web host does.

The legal basis for these requests is our legitimate interest in providing the features you use (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Visit statistics

We count visits with privacy-friendly analytics that sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It records which pages are viewed, where visits come from (such as a search engine), the country, the type of device and browser, and anonymous counts of actions on this site, such as starting a sound. Your IP address isn’t stored: visitors are counted with an anonymous code that changes every day, so no personal profile is created. This data is kept for up to 180 days on Cloudflare, which hosts it for us, and isn’t shared with anyone else.

Share and room links

A shared mix or room link contains only the mix settings, a room code and a start time.

Your rights

You can ask for access to, or erasure of, any personal data, object to its use, and complain to your data-protection authority.
