Rainymoodz is a free ambient sound website offering rain, nature, and relaxation sounds to help visitors focus, study, and sleep.

  1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We do not require you to create an account or submit personal information to use this website. All sounds are completely free with no login required.

The following data may be collected automatically when you visit:

a) Log Data
When you visit our site, our web server may automatically record:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages you visited and sounds you played
  • Date and time of your visit
  • Referring website (the site you came from)

This is standard practice for all websites and is used only for security and to improve the site experience.

b) Cookies
We use cookies — small text files stored on your device. Cookies help us remember your preferences such as dark mode setting and volume preferences.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Preference cookies — to remember your dark mode preference and sound settings (stored locally on your device)
  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — to understand how visitors use the site, such as which sounds are most popular
  • Advertising cookies (Google AdSense) — to display relevant advertisements to support the free service

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. If you disable cookies, your sound preferences and dark mode settings may not be saved between visits.

  1. LOCAL STORAGE

Rainymoodz saves your theme preference (dark or light mode) in your browser’s local storage. This data stays entirely on your device and is never sent to our servers. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser data.

  1. AUDIO FILES

The ambient sound files on this website are hosted on our server and streamed to your browser when you press play. We do not record what sounds you listen to in any personally identifiable way.

  1. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which sounds are played most often, which pages are visited, and how long people stay. This data is anonymous and does not identify you personally.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

  1. GOOGLE ADSENSE AND ADVERTISING

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet.
