Privacy policy
This policy covers RecallRun (recallrun.dev), including the blog and the courses at recallrun.dev/learn ("RecallRun Learn"). The site is run by Alby Tomy, an individual based in India. Contact: [email protected].
Reading the blog and free lessons
You can read the blog and free lessons without an account. We do not ask for personal information to read them.
Creating an account
You can create a RecallRun Learn account with Google, GitHub, LinkedIn, or an email address and password. We receive only what we need to run your account:
- Google, GitHub or LinkedIn: your email address (and whether the provider has verified it), your name, your profile picture, and an account ID from that provider. We do not receive your password there, and we do not access your emails, repositories, connections, posts or any other data.
- Email and password: your name and email address. Your password is never stored in readable form. We send you an email to confirm the address, and password-reset emails when you ask for them.
What we store and why
- Account: email, name, profile picture, the sign-in methods you use, sign-up and last sign-in dates, and your country (from your connection), to run your account and link your purchases.
- Learning data: which lessons you completed, test scores and certificates, to track progress and issue certificates. Certificate pages show the name on the certificate, the course and the date, so employers can verify them.
- Purchases: the product bought, the email used at checkout, the payment or sale ID (and Gumroad licence key, if bought there), price and currency, to give you access to paid courses.
- Sign-in cookie: keeps you signed in for up to 60 days. It is not used for advertising.
This data is kept securely by our hosting provider and may be processed outside your country.
Contact messages and feedback
When you use the contact form or the feedback form, we store what you write, the name and email you give, your approximate country and the time, so we can reply and improve the site. Feedback is only shown publicly if you tick the box allowing it, and only with the name and role you typed; your email is never shown. Ask us at any time to remove a message or take your feedback off the site.
Writing community posts
If you write for the community blog, your author name, handle, bio, website and published posts are public. Your email address is never shown. When you submit a post, its text and links are checked automatically for safety and quality, including by an AI model run by our hosting provider and by public lists of unsafe websites, and then read by an editor. Drafts and review notes are visible only to you and the editors. We send you notifications about your posts in your account inbox, and by email only for the types you choose in your account settings; every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can download all your data or delete your account at any time from your account settings.
Payments
Purchases are processed by Razorpay, PayPal or Gumroad, depending on how you pay. They handle your card, UPI, bank or PayPal details; we never see or store them. Their privacy policies apply to data you give them.
Data from Google, GitHub and LinkedIn
RecallRun's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use sign-in data from Google, GitHub and LinkedIn only to provide your account, and we do not sell it, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except the service providers listed here.
Analytics and advertising
We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are read and from which countries. It uses no cookies, does not identify you, and we never store your IP address.
The blog may show ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. See how Google uses data from partner sites.
If you subscribe to the newsletter, we keep your email address to send you new experiments, a weekly community roundup and occasional site updates. We only start after you confirm by email, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. The free checklist itself is delivered through Gumroad.
Keeping and deleting your data
We keep account and learning data while your account exists. Purchase records are kept as long as needed for refunds and tax records. To see, correct or delete your data, email [email protected] from the address you signed in with; we will respond within 30 days. You can also remove RecallRun's access in your Google account settings.
Children
RecallRun is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. See also our Terms of service.
