Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. Information We Collect
ri2.in collects minimal information necessary to deliver a fast, reliable Markdown paste and publishing utility. We collect content submitted through the platform, optional account details for authenticated users, and standard network connection data required to maintain server security and rate limits.
2. How We Use Information
Information collected is used strictly to provide the core services: rendering and hosting Markdown pastes, organizing pastes into authenticated collections, managing user sessions, enforcing platform quotas and rate limits, and processing abuse reports. We do not sell personal data or use paste content for advertising.
3. Account Information
When you create an authenticated account, we store your name, email address, and a securely salted bcrypt hash of your password. This data is used solely to authenticate your identity, associate your owned pastes and collections, and manage your account preferences.
4. User-Created Content
When you save a paste or create a collection, we store the Markdown text, title, creation timestamp, and optional expiration date. Pastes created with an expiration time are automatically purged upon expiry.
5. Public Collections
Collections explicitly marked as public by authenticated authors are accessible via clean URLs (/c/[slug]) and are intended for public indexation by search engines.
6. Anonymous Pastes
You can create pastes without registering an account. Anonymous pastes store the Markdown content, creation time, and optional expiry. Individual paste pages are served with noindex headers and are intended for direct URL sharing rather than search engine discovery. Standard IP addresses are processed in volatile memory for rate-limiting purposes.
7. Cookies and Local Storage
We use localStorage on your device to persist your theme preference (light/dark/system) and draft text locally in your browser. Authenticated sessions utilize standard HTTP authentication cookies and JWT tokens. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), cryptographic password hashing (bcrypt), sanitized Markdown rendering, sliding-window rate limiting, and role-based access controls to protect your data and platform operations.
9. Data Retention
Pastes configured with an expiration period are automatically removed once expired. Pastes or collections deleted by their author or removed during moderation reviews are soft-deleted or permanently purged. Account data is retained as long as your account remains active.
10. Third-Party Services
We rely on secure infrastructure providers for database hosting and edge application delivery. These providers process data strictly on our behalf under standardized security standards.
11. Your Rights
You have the right to access, edit, or delete your authenticated pastes and collections at any time through your dashboard. You may request account deletion or data exports by contacting us.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational or legal updates. Material updates will be indicated by revising the "Last updated" date above.
