The short version.

We collect almost nothing. No third-party analytics, no tracking pixels, no ad networks, no shadow profiles. Your visit doesn't follow you off this site.

What we store locally.

Your theme choice (light or dark) is saved in localStorage under the key rain-theme. It never leaves your browser. Clear your site data and it's gone.

What our server sees.

Standard HTTP request logs — IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp — retained for 14 days for abuse mitigation and performance debugging, then deleted. We do not correlate these logs with personal identity.

If you contact us.

When you send a message via the contact form or email rain@mrzakaria.com, we keep the conversation in our inbox for as long as it's useful to the engagement. We do not add you to a newsletter, share your message with third parties, or feed it to a marketing list.

Third-party assets.

The site self-hosts its font (Inter Variable) and ships images locally. We do not embed third-party scripts, social widgets, or trackers. The page makes zero outbound requests beyond the original document and its assets.

Cookies.

None. The site uses localStorage for theme preference (see above) but does not set HTTP cookies of any kind.

Your rights.

If you're in the EU/UK, GDPR gives you rights to access, correct, port, and delete any personal data we hold. There isn't much — but if you want to confirm or exercise any of these, email rain@mrzakaria.com and we'll respond within 30 days.

Changes to this policy.

If material practices change, we'll update this page and bump the date at the top. We don't have an email list, so we can't notify you directly — please re-read before sharing sensitive information.
