Privacy

https://www.rines.io is the personal site of Tim Rines. It is not a consumer product, marketplace, or analytics SaaS. The public pages, markdown variants, llms.txt, OpenAPI document, and MCP server expose only information Tim already published: name, email, project URLs, and professional bio.

The contact API accepts name, email, message, and optional subject. Payloads are validated and then discarded by this deployment because no mail relay is configured; email tim@rines.io directly if you need a human to keep a copy. Do not send secrets, passwords, health data, or children's data to any rines.io URL. Requests may be rate limited. Standard server logs, IP, user-agent, and path, may exist on Vercel for security and reliability.

There are no advertising cookies, no third-party trackers added by this site, and no sale of personal information. JSON-LD on the homepage describes Tim Rines as a Person for search and agents. Hosting and CDN providers process traffic under their own terms. Questions: tim@rines.io.

Retention: contact payloads are not stored by this deployment. Server logs on Vercel typically rotate within days. There is no account database, no newsletter list, and no advertising identifier. If you emailed tim@rines.io directly, that copy lives in Tim's inbox until he deletes it. To ask for deletion of an email you sent, write the same address with the word "delete" in the subject. Children under 13 should not submit the contact API. This policy applies to https://www.rines.io, the markdown variants, the MCP server, and the public HTTP API. Last updated August 2026.
