Privacy policy
Gasolinerain is a small business based in Sacramento, California. This page explains what we collect through this website, why, who else handles it, and how long we keep it. We have tried to keep it short and specific. If something here is unclear, email hello@gasolinerain.com.
This policy covers this website and its inquiry form. Information we handle for clients who hire us is covered by our service agreement with them.
What we collect
When you submit the inquiry form, we collect what you type into it:
- Your name, work email address, company name, website domain, and role.
- Company size and details about your current setup, such as email and document platform, device types, password manager and backup practices, and timeline.
- What you want help with, anything you write in the free-text box, and any other contact you choose to give us.
Please do not put passwords, keys, or other secrets in the form. We will never ask for them there.
Our website is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, it processes technical information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and to protect the site. When you open the inquiry form, a bot check (Cloudflare Turnstile) also runs in your browser to tell people from automated programs.
We do not use advertising or analytics trackers on this site, and we do not set advertising cookies. Because we do not track you across other sites, we do not respond differently to "Do Not Track" signals.
How we use it
- To reply to your inquiry and decide whether we can help.
- If we work together, to start the work and keep the records that work requires.
The form applies simple rules to label your inquiry (for example, a good fit, a partial fit, or outside what we do) so we can prioritize replies. A person reads every inquiry, and the label only affects how we respond.
We do not sell your information, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.
Who else handles it
We use a few service providers to run the site and handle inquiries. They process information on our behalf.
- Cloudflare hosts the website, runs the form handler, and provides the bot check.
- GitHub stores each inquiry in a private repository that only we can access.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
| Situation | What we do |
|---|---|
| Inquiries we cannot help with, spam, and anything we could not follow up on | Deleted within 90 days. |
| Other inquiries that do not lead to work | Deleted within 6 months of receiving them. |
| Inquiries that become a client engagement | Moved into that client's records, kept as our service agreement says and as needed for tax and legal records. |
Deleting an inquiry removes it from our repository. Copies held in a provider's own backups are removed on that provider's schedule.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email hello@gasolinerain.com from the address you used. We honor these requests regardless of where you live, and aim to answer within 30 days.
How we protect it
Inquiries are stored in a private repository. Access is limited to the owner of the business and protected with multi-factor authentication. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep only what we need and delete it when we said we would.
Children
This site is for businesses and is not directed to children.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use information you have already given us, we will email you if we have your address.
