Privacy Policy

Who we are

Hi From Tim & Renee is the website and newsletter operated by Tim and Renee. We share videos, notes from our trips, projects and useful finds. For privacy questions or requests, email hello@hifromtimandrenee.com or write to Hi From Tim & Renee, 333 West 86th Street, Bloomington, MN 55420, USA.

Email subscriptions

When you sign up, we collect your email address and, if you provide it, your first name. Kit, our email service provider, stores your subscriber record, signup date, signup form and subscription status. A new subscription requires you to confirm your email address before we send our newsletter.

We use this information to send new videos, notes from our trips, useful finds and occasional offers. Some emails contain affiliate links. We may earn a commission when you buy through those links, and we disclose those relationships where relevant. We do not give our subscriber list to affiliate partners for their own marketing.

Technical information and email activity

Vercel hosts our website and receives technical request information needed to deliver and protect it, such as IP addresses, browser information, requested pages and request times.

Our embedded Kit signup form loads content from Kit. Kit’s form technology may use a browser identifier or cookies and receive information about the page containing the form, referring page and form interactions. Kit also records email delivery, confirmation, unsubscribe and engagement activity. Emails may include tracking pixels and tracked links that report opens and clicks. These measurements can be affected by email privacy features and security scanners.

Kit’s signup form uses Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent automated abuse. Google receives technical information needed for this risk analysis and sets a necessary reCAPTCHA cookie. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

We use this information to operate and protect the signup process, investigate delivery problems and understand which emails are useful. Your browser and email application may let you restrict cookies, remote images or other tracking; some features may not work as intended when blocked.

Contact messages

If you send us a message through the contact form, we collect the name, email address, optional subject and message you enter, plus technical information such as your IP address used to prevent abuse. We use it only to read and reply to your message. Resend, our email delivery provider, sends the message to our inbox, and we keep messages in our email for as long as needed to respond and for our records. You can ask us to delete a message by emailing hello@hifromtimandrenee.com. Vercel’s bot-detection check runs invisibly when you send a message.

Service providers and other websites

We use Kit for signup forms, subscriber storage, email delivery and unsubscribe handling, Resend for delivering contact-form messages, and Vercel for website hosting. These providers process information needed to provide their services. Information may be processed in the United States or other countries where they operate.

Our website also links to or embeds content from services such as YouTube, Instagram and ShopMy. Opening a link or loading embedded content may share technical information with that provider. Their privacy policies apply to those interactions. Signing up for our emails does not subscribe you to another creator’s newsletter.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe using the link in our marketing emails. We retain the limited subscription-status information needed to honor your choice. We do not treat a repeat signup as permission to bypass an unsubscribe or confirmation requirement.

You can email hello@hifromtimandrenee.com to request access to, correction of or deletion of your information. We may need to verify your request. Additional privacy rights may apply depending on where you live.

Retention and security

We keep subscriber information while you remain subscribed and as needed to administer the newsletter, resolve problems, comply with legal obligations and honor unsubscribe requests. We restrict account access and use our providers’ security controls. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above.
