Legal
Privacy Policy
- Your rants and username live only on your device — we never see them.
- We do not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data.
- Microphone access is only active while you are recording.
- No accounts, no passwords, no login required.
- No advertising or analytics SDKs are embedded in the app.
1. Who we are
rantr is an independent voice-rant application developed by Ajink Ratnaparkhi. You can reach us at aratnaparkhi69@gmail.com.
This policy applies to the rantr Android application and the web app at rantr.vercel.app.
2. What data we collect — and what we don't
rantr is a local-first app. All data you create stays on your device.
The following is stored locally using your browser's localStorage API:
- The username you choose when you first open the app.
- Voice recordings you make, stored as audio data on your device only.
- Your reactions, battle votes, and in-app activity.
We do not collect, receive, or have access to any of this data. It never leaves your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing your browser data removes it permanently.
3. Microphone access
rantr requests access to your device's microphone solely to let you record voice rants. Microphone access is only activated when you tap the record button and is released when you stop recording.
Audio is processed entirely on your device. We do not stream, upload, or transmit your recordings anywhere.
You can revoke microphone access at any time in your device settings. Without it, recording features will not work, but the rest of the app remains fully functional.
4. Sharing features
rantr includes optional sharing features (the Share Card, Rant Vibe Check) that let you share links or text to other apps on your device.
When you use these features, you are sharing content using your device's native sharing system (the Web Share API or your clipboard). rantr does not transmit any data to our servers as part of this — you are sharing directly with the app you choose (WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.), and their privacy policies govern what happens next.
Vibe Check links are self-contained URLs. Your answers are encoded directly in the link and are not sent to any rantr server.
5. Third-party services
The rantr web app is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server access logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) as part of normal hosting operations. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
rantr does not embed any advertising networks, analytics SDKs (such as Google Analytics or Firebase), crash reporting tools, or social login providers. We do not use cookies.
6. Child Safety
rantr is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly permit access by children under 18.
rantr has a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Any content or behaviour that sexually exploits or abuses minors — including child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account removal and reporting to the relevant authorities, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
If you encounter any content or behaviour that violates this policy, or if you have child safety concerns related to rantr, please contact our dedicated child safety point of contact immediately:
Child Safety Contact: aratnaparkhi69@gmail.com
We are committed to complying with all applicable child safety laws and regulations.
7. Your rights
Because we store nothing on our servers, most data-subject rights (access, correction, deletion) are fulfilled entirely within the app itself:
- Delete your data — clear the app's storage in your device settings, or uninstall the app.
- Revoke microphone access — in your device's app permissions settings.
If you have any additional questions or requests, contact us at aratnaparkhi69@gmail.com.
8. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy — for example, if we add a backend or analytics — we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users within the app. Continued use of rantr after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
