Privacy statement
Summary
You can use rule.law without an account. We don’t follow you with advertising or analytics cookies. When you sign in or submit an app we keep what that needs, and we sell nothing.
When you browse
Your choice of light or dark is kept only in your own browser. Our server may briefly keep technical data such as your IP address and the page you asked for, to find faults and abuse.
When you sign in
We keep your email address and, if you sign in with X, GitHub or Google, which one and your picture there. From that service we get only what we need to know who you are. If you sign in with a code, we send it to your email address.
What’s public
An approved listing is public: the app’s name, description, icon, screenshots and facts. We don’t show your email address or your profile on rule.law; the reviewer does see them. Search engines and AI services may read the public pages, including to train AI models; personal pages, such as your account and your drafts, are closed to them.
When you submit an app
We keep your drafts, the images you add and what you send for review. We email you about your submission, such as a receipt and our decision. If you use an AI agent, we keep what we need to recognise your MCP link, and when it was last used.
Cookies
We set one cookie to keep you signed in, and while you sign in with X, GitHub or Google briefly a second one to finish that step. Both are needed for the service to work; we set no others.
Who we share it with
Only those we need to run rule.law: the service you sign in with, Lettermint B.V. (Zwolle, Netherlands), which sends our email, and Clever Cloud SAS (Nantes, France), which hosts our servers. They use your data only for us. We sell nothing.
How long we keep it
As long as your account exists. If you close it, we delete your data within [period], except what the law requires us to keep. A rejected submission and its images are deleted when it is rejected.
Your rights
You may see your data, have it corrected or deleted, and object to how we use it. Ask us at coen@coenttb.com. You can also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
Changes to this statement
If we change this statement, the new date shows at the top. For a material change we tell signed-in makers by email beforehand.
Questions
Send them to coen@coenttb.com. coenttb (Coen ten Thije Boonkkamp) is responsible for your data.
