Privacy

runthesim.app is a static site with minimal data collection. This page lists exactly what gets stored, where, and for how long.

Summary

runthesim.app does not set tracking cookies. It does not profile visitors. It does not sell any user data.

What the site collects: aggregate server logs from the hosting provider (Netlify), and a newsletter email address if you subscribe (stored via Netlify Forms). Nothing else.

Hosting logs

The site is hosted on Netlify. Netlify keeps standard server logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security and operational purposes. These logs are retained according to Netlify's own policy and are not used by RunTheSim for analytics or profiling.

Simulations and parameters

Simulations run entirely in your browser. Parameters you change, presets you select, and any interaction with the controls stays in your browser session — it is never sent back to any server.

When you subscribe, your email address is stored via Netlify Forms, our hosting provider; it sits in their form-submission storage and is used only to send the newsletter. A dedicated sending provider is not chosen yet (candidates: Buttondown, ConvertKit, Mailchimp); this section will be updated when one is added. To unsubscribe or have your address removed, email hello@runthesim.app and we delete it.

Email contact

If you email hello@runthesim.app, your email address and the message content are stored in the inbox for as long as the thread is relevant. You can request deletion at any time by replying to any past message with the word "delete".

Third-party links

Links to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other external platforms open on those platforms. Their own privacy policies apply as soon as you follow the link. RunTheSim does not receive information about whether you clicked such a link.

Your rights

You have the right to know what personal data is stored about you, to request corrections, and to request deletion. Send any such request to hello@runthesim.app.

This site operates under Swiss data-protection law (nDSG / revFADP).

Changes to this policy

This policy is versioned. The current version is v1.0 (2026-04-19). Substantive changes will bump the version and the effective date. If the change is material, it will be announced via the newsletter once that channel is live.
