At Rafael Tonin (rtonin.com), data privacy and security are at the core of our values. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you visit our website, sign up for our newsletter, download our Free Toolkit, or purchase our publications.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, plus basic analytics about how the site is used. Specifically:
- Email address (required): Collected when you sign up through our newsletter / Free Toolkit form so we can send the Toolkit and our emails.
- Name (optional): The name field on our sign-up form is optional. If you choose to provide it, we use it only to personalize the emails we send you.
- Usage Data: Aggregated analytics about how visitors interact with the site (see "Cookies & Analytics" below). We do not ask for any other personal details on this site.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your information strictly for the following purposes:
- To deliver the free Toolkit, workbooks, or checklists you request.
- To send you our email newsletter with practical tech guides, security alerts, and blueprints.
- To personalize our emails with your name, when you have provided it.
- To manage newsletter subscriptions and process opt-outs.
- To analyze site traffic to optimize performance and content.
We keep your subscription data for as long as you remain subscribed, or until you ask us to delete it. [RETENTION PERIOD]
3. Cookies & Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are viewed and general traffic trends). Cloudflare Web Analytics is privacy-first and cookieless: it does not use cookies, does not fingerprint visitors, and does not collect personal data — so no analytics-consent banner is required. The data is anonymous and aggregated, and is used only to improve our content and performance.
You can read more in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy. The website's core content works exactly the same whether or not analytics is active.
4. Data Protection and Security
We implement strong security practices to protect your data. Your email details are securely stored via our newsletter provider and are protected against unauthorized access. We never sell, lease, or distribute your personal details to third parties.
Furthermore, in alignment with our security-first philosophy, we ensure that any AI integrations or tools utilized in our operations explicitly opt out of model training programs to keep data confidential.
5. Third-Party Services & Processors
We rely on a small number of trusted third-party providers to operate this site. They process your data only to deliver their specific service and are bound by their own privacy commitments:
- Hostinger Reach — our email/newsletter provider. The email address (and optional name) you submit through our sign-up form is sent to and stored by Hostinger Reach so we can deliver the Toolkit and our emails and manage your subscription.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics — provides anonymous, cookieless website usage statistics, as described in "Cookies & Analytics" above.
- Amazon — if you purchase a book, the order is handled entirely by Amazon under its own terms and privacy policy; we do not collect or store your payment details.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. You can opt out of our email communications instantly by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email we send, or by contacting us directly at rtonin@rtonin.com. Unsubscribing stops future emails; to have your stored data deleted entirely, just ask us at the same address.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operational or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
