Who is responsible
Mayank Ramnauth, trading as Renvaryn, is the UK sole-trader operator and controller of the personal information described here. Contact hello@renvaryn.com about your information.
Information we may receive
- Technical information needed to deliver and secure the website, such as IP address, browser, device and request logs.
- Aggregate page-view and visitor information supplied by our hosting platform.
- Your email address and the contents of your message if you contact us.
- If you choose Get our best finds: your email address, the first and most recent request times, the public page and form placement used, the consent wording and version shown, and the subscription, delivery or opt-out status.
Why we use it
We rely on consent for optional newsletter requests. We use limited operational information for our legitimate interests in securing the site, responding to enquiries and understanding aggregate performance, and where needed to meet legal obligations. We do not sell visitor contact information.
Newsletter signup
Signing up is optional. You can browse the whole site without subscribing or creating an account. The newsletter covers useful products, buying guides and clearly identified affiliate-supported recommendations.
We use single opt-in for new signups: entering your address and choosing Get our best finds gives consent to the product-discovery newsletters and introductory emails, without a separate confirmation email. Eligible new signups are added to EmailOctopus and receive an automated welcome email, followed by our original OutIn Nano email one week later. Further newsletters are prepared and sent when ready. Repeated requests are deduplicated and do not reactivate a recorded opt-out. Earlier unconfirmed requests are not automatically subscribed under this process.
If signup is temporarily paused or the email service is unavailable, we keep your request for retrying when service resumes. The form tells you when signup is paused. Saving a request does not guarantee that an email has been delivered.
We can count requests by date, page and form placement to understand signup performance. Email open and email click tracking are disabled. Optional website measurement is separate and described below. No personalised advertising pixels or cross-site behavioural profiling are intentionally active.
Where signup information is stored
Signup records are stored in a private database within our website hosting, supplied through OpenAI’s ChatGPT Sites and Cloudflare. They are available to the operator, authorised site administrators and service providers as needed to operate the service, not to public visitors. Our form does not save email addresses to browser storage, add them to public pages or send them to retailers.
We use EmailOctopus, supplied by Three Hearts Digital Ltd, to manage subscriptions, newsletter delivery and unsubscribes. It receives your email address and subscription status. The original consent record stays in our private website database. EmailOctopus and its delivery providers process the information necessary to deliver and secure email. See EmailOctopus’s privacy information. Our hosting and email providers may process information outside the UK; contact us for details of the relevant processing and transfer arrangements.
Optional website measurement
With analytics consent, we also record a coarse viewport class at the start of a session (mobile, tablet or desktop) and separate clicks to our verdicts from clicks to retailers. We do not record your exact screen size or identify your device from this class. Existing sessions without this information remain unknown.
Optional website measurement runs only after you choose “Allow analytics”. It records known public pages, visible engagement, Pick-page visits, visible buying buttons, retailer clicks and new subscriptions successfully completed during signup. A visit is grouped into a session that ends after 30 minutes without activity. Its first measured landing page and recognised source, campaign and creative labels stay with that session. Google, social and affiliate reports are also used to understand aggregate results.
After consent, your browser stores a random browser identifier for up to 90 days and a random session identifier renewed during activity. These let us distinguish newly recognised browsers and connect pages within a visit; they do not identify a person. We record a random session reference, event timestamps, public paths and the relevant product and button position in a private database hosted through OpenAI’s ChatGPT Sites and Cloudflare. We do not add email addresses, IP addresses, full referring URLs or arbitrary query strings to these measurement records. Newsletter addresses stay separate, and browsing identifiers are not sent to EmailOctopus.
With analytics consent, eligible Awin and Impact links include a new random reference for each measured click, alongside recognised product or campaign labels. The returned affiliate report can then connect an approved commission to that click and its original landing session. We never send the browser identifier or session identifier to those networks, and we do not use this information for advertising audiences or retargeting. Declining or withdrawing analytics leaves the ordinary affiliate link available. Networks and retailers handle their own referral information under their notices: Awin and Impact.
Individual event details and the separate browser-recognition register are kept for up to 90 days. Minimal session summaries, buying-button exposures and click references are kept for up to 24 months so delayed commissions, cancellations and later corrections can remain attached to their original reporting period. These records contain no newsletter identity. Daily cleanup removes expired records. A separate event-delivery receipt expires after 24 hours and an abuse-prevention counter expires at the end of the hour. Our private recovery copies expire after 30 days.
Affiliate reporting and recovery copies
We use limited affiliate-network reporting records to reconcile referral results, cancellations, commission and payment status. We retain the network transaction reference, dates, amounts and currencies, status and recognised product or campaign labels. We do not retain customer names, email addresses, delivery addresses, retailer order references, network IP fields or basket contents in this reporting system. A referred product does not establish what a customer purchased.
These records, cost and evidence records, and decision history are stored privately with our existing hosting providers for up to 24 months for commercial reconciliation and learning. Access is restricted to authorised administration. Daily recovery copies are kept in private hosting storage for up to 30 days and may therefore contain older copies awaiting expiry. They are checked for integrity and used only for recovery. Newsletter subscriber records are excluded from these conversion-reporting copies.
Your allow or decline choice is remembered on this browser for up to 180 days. You can withdraw or change it through “Analytics choices” in the footer. Withdrawal stops future optional measurement and clears the optional browser and session identifiers on this browser. Previously collected records remain until their retention period ends. We cannot identify those records from an email address because the systems are not joined. See the cookie notice for the browser preference.
Owner and testing browsers can keep an existing measurement exclusion. Its non-identifying renvaryn_measurement_exclusion preference contains only the choice, version and expiry and lasts up to 180 days. The control is available in the private reporting page under Details & maintenance, rather than in the public analytics popup. It does not change analytics consent or historical records. Each browser needs its own setting; clearing site storage removes it, and blocked storage limits it to the current page session. Local and preview builds do not collect optional measurement.
Security and browser preferences
The form validates submissions and limits repeated attempts using a separate, hashed network identifier. These security counters expire after the relevant hourly window and are removed when subsequent valid requests are processed. They are not a measure of newsletter readership. The signup register does not store raw IP addresses.
The newsletter invitation opens only when you choose “Get our best finds”. Closing it does not save a dismissal preference. Older site versions saved a local dismissal expiry that is no longer used. You can reopen the form through the footer. See our cookie notice.
External retailers
Following a retailer link takes you to another organisation’s website. That organisation becomes responsible for the personal information it collects during browsing, checkout, delivery or support. Review its privacy and cookie information before purchasing.
Retention and security
Requests that have not become active subscriptions expire after 30 days. A fresh signup under changed consent wording starts a new 30-day request period; repeating the same request does not extend it. Our maintenance process checks the current subscription status before removing expired pending records, including pending records in the sending service where applicable. We retain subscription and consent information while it is needed to provide the newsletter and demonstrate your choice. If you withdraw, we stop using your address for newsletters; a minimal opt-out record may be retained to prevent accidental re-enrolment. Contact messages and other operational records are kept only for as long as needed for the enquiry, security or legal obligations.
We use access controls and server-side validation, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Changing your mind
Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. You can also withdraw a signup request, correct an address or ask for deletion by emailing hello@renvaryn.com, preferably from the address concerned. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to its use. Contact hello@renvaryn.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Changes
We will update this notice when our operator, service providers or use of personal information changes.
