Privacy Policy 🦝

We're transparent about how we handle your data. Randy promises to keep your information safe and never sell it.

Last updated: November 18, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Ranccoon! We're a simple tool that tracks Domain Ratings. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service. We built this for indie makers, so we keep things straightforward and transparent. No corporate jargon, just the facts.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign up, we collect your email address and optionally your name. That's it. We use this to create your account and send you important updates about your domains.

Domain Information

You provide us with domain names you want to track. We use this information to fetch Domain Rating data from third-party services (like Ahrefs) and display it to you.

Usage Data

We collect basic usage information like when you log in, which pages you visit, and how you interact with the service. This helps us improve Ranccoon and fix bugs. We use analytics tools (like Datafa) to understand how the service is used.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • β€’To provide and maintain our service (tracking your domains, sending alerts, etc.)
  • β€’To notify you about changes to your Domain Ratings
  • β€’To send you service-related emails (like daily summaries or important updates)
  • β€’To improve and optimize Ranccoon based on how you use it
  • β€’To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We don't sell your data. Period. Here's who we might share information with:

  • β€’Service Providers: We use third-party services (like database hosting, email delivery) that need access to your data to function. They're bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • β€’Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights, we may disclose information. But we'll fight for your privacy when possible.
  • β€’Business Transfers: If Ranccoon is acquired or merged, your data would transfer to the new owner. We'd notify you if this happens.

5. Data Security

We take security seriously. Your passwords are hashed (we can't see them), and we use industry-standard encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We do our best, but we can't guarantee absolute security. Randy does his best to keep your data safe, but even raccoons can't prevent all cyber threats.

6. Your Rights

You have rights over your data:

  • β€’Access: You can see what data we have about you
  • β€’Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data at any time
  • β€’Correction: You can update your information in your account settings
  • β€’Opt-out: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails (but we'll still send important service updates)

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below or use the settings in your account.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in and to understand how you use Ranccoon. We use analytics tools (like Datafa) that may set cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features might not work properly. We don't use cookies to track you across other websites.

8. Children's Privacy

Ranccoon is not intended for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children. If you're a parent and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us and we'll delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email or through the service. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when this policy was last revised. Your continued use of Ranccoon after changes means you accept the updated policy.
