A short
privacy policy._
The Raccoon Lab AB is a one-person operation — one workshop, one email list, based in Stockholm, Sweden. This page describes — in plain words and short paragraphs — what data is actually kept, why, and how to get rid of it. Read it in 90 seconds; it isn't long because there isn't much.
The Lab is a one-person operation. There is no growth team, no retargeting budget, no analytics dashboard. Only what's strictly necessary to run the list:
- your email address
- your country
- IP address at signup
- time of subscription
- your unsubscribe state
Every piece of data we hold maps to one concrete reason. If a reason disappears, the data does too.
- →Email: to tell you when a file drops, a batch opens, or something ships. No "we miss you" reactivation flows.
- →Country: to understand which markets I need to prepare — things like local Amazon links when products launch.
A short, named list. If a vendor is on it, your data is on their servers — we'd rather tell you than dress it up.
- →MailerLite · manages the email list and sends notifications. Stores your email address, IP address at signup, approximate location, signup timestamp, and unsubscribe state.
- →Squarespace · hosts this site. Their infrastructure is governed by Squarespace's own privacy policy.
That's the whole list. When it changes, this page changes.
No devices have dropped yet. This section describes how they are designed to work.
Every device comes with a PDF guide. During setup you enter your WiFi credentials and it connects to your local network — your Home Assistant or MQTT broker. That's the only network it ever talks to. There is no Lab account, no cloud backend, no telemetry endpoint. I have no way to receive anything the devices send, and I'm not building one.
When firmware updates are available, I'll send them by email. You decide whether to apply them. The same principle holds there.
Standard EU rules. Email me and I'll handle any of these within 30
days — usually the same week, because there's one person reading the
inbox. You also have the right to lodge a
complaint with the Swedish supervisory authority,
IMY (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten), at imy.se.
