Effective October 15, 2026

1. Who We Are

First Rain Group is a fictitious business name of Seeds of Life Creations, LLC. In this Privacy Policy, “First Rain,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Seeds of Life Creations, LLC d/b/a First Rain Group.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information when you visit firstrain.group, subscribe to First Rain Editorial Insights, contact us, or otherwise interact with our website.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

We may collect:

  • Subscription information. Your email address when you subscribe to First Rain Editorial Insights.
  • Communications. Information you choose to include when you email us or otherwise contact us, such as your name, organization, funding objectives, and the contents of your message.
  • Other information you choose to provide. Any additional information you voluntarily send to us.

The website does not currently process payments or create user accounts.

Subscription context

When you subscribe to Editorial Insights, we also record limited information about the signup so we can administer the publication and document consent. This may include:

  • the date and time of subscription;
  • the page where you subscribed;
  • the referring webpage, when your browser provides it;
  • the relevant article identifier, when applicable;
  • the signup source; and
  • the version of the subscription consent language shown to you.

Information collected automatically

When you use the website, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically collect information such as:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser and device type;
  • operating system;
  • pages viewed and links used;
  • referring page;
  • approximate location derived from an Internet Protocol address;
  • dates and times of visits; and
  • cookie or similar technology identifiers.

We also use an Internet Protocol address temporarily to limit abusive or automated subscription attempts.

3. How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

  • operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website;
  • provide Editorial Insights and administer subscriptions;
  • record and honor subscription consent, unsubscribe requests, and suppression preferences;
  • respond to inquiries and communicate about potential or existing engagements;
  • understand how visitors use the website and which content is useful;
  • prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights; and
  • carry out another purpose that we disclose when information is collected or that you authorize.

4. Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and use. Google Analytics may place cookies, including cookies commonly named _ga, and may collect information about your browser, device, Internet Protocol address, approximate location, referral source, and interactions with the website. Google processes this information under its own privacy terms.

You can limit cookies through your browser settings. You can also learn about Google’s privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy and use Google’s Analytics opt-out tool at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to that signal, and our website does not currently respond to it. We will recognize legally required browser-based opt-out preference signals when applicable to our processing.

Third-party providers, including Google Analytics and our hosting provider, may collect information about your activity over time and across websites according to their own privacy practices. We do not use subscriber email addresses for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • Kit, which manages Editorial Insights subscribers, consent records, email delivery, and unsubscribe or complaint suppression;
  • Google, which provides website analytics and business email services;
  • Vercel, which hosts and delivers the website and its subscription endpoint;
  • professional advisers, such as attorneys, accountants, insurers, and consultants, when reasonably necessary;
  • law enforcement, regulators, courts, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and security;
  • a buyer, successor, or other relevant party in connection with a proposed or completed merger, financing, reorganization, or transfer of all or part of the business; and
  • another party at your direction or with your consent.

These providers may process information in the United States and other locations where they operate.

We do not sell personal information for money. We do not rent subscriber lists or disclose subscriber email addresses to third parties for their own independent marketing.

6. Editorial Insights and Email Choices

When you subscribe to First Rain Editorial Insights, you ask us to send you the publication and related First Rain communications described at signup. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email.

After an unsubscribe request, we may retain limited information on a suppression list so that we can honor the request and avoid adding the address back to active delivery without appropriate authorization. You may also contact us using the information below.

7. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide requested communications, maintain consent and suppression records, respond to inquiries, protect the website, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

In general:

  • active subscription records are retained while a subscription remains active;
  • limited consent, unsubscribe, and suppression records may be retained as reasonably necessary to document consent and honor communication preferences;
  • inquiry correspondence is retained while needed to respond and for reasonable business, legal, and recordkeeping purposes;
  • analytics information is retained according to our Google Analytics settings and Google’s applicable terms; and
  • hosting and security logs are retained according to our providers’ operational and security practices.

We may retain deidentified or aggregated information that cannot reasonably identify you.

8. Your Choices and Requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information. You may ask us to:

  • provide information about personal information associated with you;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • delete information, subject to legal and operational exceptions; or
  • stop sending Editorial Insights and other marketing communications.

Send requests to admin@firstrain.group. We may take reasonable steps to verify a request before acting on it. We will not discriminate against you for making a privacy request.

9. California Privacy Information

For purposes of California’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the categories of personally identifiable information we may collect are identifiers, Internet or other electronic network activity information, subscription context, and information contained in communications. The categories of third parties with whom we may disclose this information are described in Section 5.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information by contacting us as described in Section 8. We will post material changes to this Policy on this page and revise the effective date.

The California Consumer Privacy Act applies to businesses that meet statutory thresholds and other requirements. If First Rain becomes subject to that law, we will update this Policy and provide the additional rights, notices, and opt-out methods required by law.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children

The website and Editorial Insights are intended for professional and organizational audiences. They are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

12. International Visitors

First Rain is based in California, United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries whose privacy laws may differ from those where you live.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations. We will post the updated Policy on this page and change the effective date. If a change materially affects how we use information already collected, we will provide additional notice when required by law.
