What We Collect
When you subscribe to R!NGER, we collect:
- Email address — to send you newsletters
- ZIP code (optional) — to personalize content to your district and representatives

How We Use It
- Send newsletters: Weekly briefings and action alerts to your inbox

- Track engagement: We use Resend (our email provider) to track opens and clicks so we can improve our content

What We Don't Do
- We don't sell your data to anyone
- We don't share your information with third parties, political campaigns, or advertisers
- We don't build advertising profiles or use ad trackers
Email Tracking
Our emails include standard open and click tracking provided by Resend, our email delivery service. This helps us understand which content is useful and which alerts drive action. We use this data in aggregate — we don't build individual surveillance profiles.
Data Storage
Your data is stored securely on Supabase (hosted on AWS). Access is restricted to the R!NGER team only.
Data Retention
We keep your data as long as you're subscribed. When you unsubscribe, your data is soft-deleted (marked inactive). If you want your data permanently removed, email us and we'll delete everything within 7 days.

Website Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with ringer.press. This collects anonymous data like pages visited, time on site, and referral source. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors. We don't use advertising pixels or share analytics data with advertisers.
