Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing your information. You can access the TinyNest Service through our website, mobile and desktop applications, APIs, and select third-party integrations. A “Device” refers to any computer or electronic device (such as a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet) used to access the TinyNest Service. By using our Service, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and other uses of your information as described herein. All data, content, and information mentioned below are collectively referred to as “information.”

1. Information We Collect and Retain

Personal Information You Provide.
When you sign up for an account, we collect personal details such as your name and email address. You might also permit us to import your contacts through third-party services (for example, your email provider) or access your social networking details if you authorize a connection. When you invite others to join TinyNest via our referral feature, a one-time referral email is sent to them. Additionally, when you share albums, photos, or videos, you may supply us with your contacts’ email addresses. We might also receive personal information (like an email address) from other users if they attempt to share content with you or refer TinyNest to you.

Albums and Files.
We gather and store the photos or files you upload, download, or access via the TinyNest Service (“photos or files”). If you add photos or files that have already been uploaded by you or another user, we may link some or all of that content to your account instead of creating a duplicate copy.

Log Data.
When you use our Service, we automatically record data from your Device, its software, and your interactions. This data may include your Device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, the previous webpage you visited, search terms on our site, locale preferences, device identifiers, mobile carrier information, transaction timestamps, system configuration details, metadata related to your files, and other usage details.

Cookies.
We use “cookies” to gather information and enhance our Service. A cookie is a small data file sent to your Device. We may employ persistent cookies to store your registration ID and login credentials for future access, as well as session cookies to enable certain Service features, analyze how you interact with our Service, and monitor overall web traffic. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or prompt you before accepting one; however, refusing cookies may prevent you from accessing some features of the Service.

2. How We Utilize Your Information

Personal Information.
During your use of the Service, we may collect personal information (“Personal Information”) that identifies or allows us to contact you. This information is used to:

• Provide and enhance our Service
  
  

• Manage your account and Service usage
  
  

• Better understand your needs and interests
  
  

• Personalize and improve your overall experience
  
  

• Deliver software updates and product announcements
  
  

If you prefer not to receive communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions in our messages or update your account settings accordingly.

Geo-Location Data.
Some Devices enable applications to access real-time location data (for example, via GPS). Our mobile applications currently do not collect location-based information during download or usage; however, with your explicit consent, this may change in the future to improve our Service. Additionally, photos and videos you upload to TinyNest might contain embedded location information, which we could use to enhance your experience. If you do not wish to share such geo-location data, please avoid uploading these files and consult your device’s documentation to disable location tagging. Note that some data we collect (like your IP address) may also be used to approximate your Device’s location.

Analytics.
We also gather information—either directly or through third-party services—via logging and cookies (including IP addresses) that can sometimes be associated with your Personal Information. This data is used for the purposes described above, as well as to monitor and analyze Service usage, manage technical administration, improve functionality and user experience, and ensure users have the proper authorization for their requests.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information

User-Provided Data.
Your Personal Information may appear on your profile and other parts of the Service in accordance with your account settings. The amount of detail you share determines how publicly available your information is. Please review the information you disclose carefully and adjust your settings to reflect your desired level of privacy. You can modify your profile at any time. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may only share or disclose your information with your consent, such as when linking your account to a third-party application. Some Service features may allow you to make parts of your information public, and once public, that information may be widely disseminated.

Service Providers, Partners, and Affiliates.
To help us operate, analyze, and improve the Service, we may engage trusted third-party companies and individuals for tasks such as data storage, system maintenance, database management, analytics, payment processing, and feature enhancements. These third parties are granted access to your information solely for performing these tasks on our behalf and are bound by obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy. For example, we currently use Amazon S3 for storing some of your data (like your photos or files). For more details on Amazon’s data security, please visit their website.

Third-Party Applications.
With your permission, we might share your information with third-party applications, such as when you choose to access our Service through another app. We are not responsible for the practices of these third parties, so please ensure that you trust them and that they maintain a privacy policy acceptable to you.

Legal Compliance, Law Enforcement, and Protection of TinyNest’s Rights.
We may disclose information from your TinyNest account if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with a law, regulation, or legal request
  
  

• Protect any person from imminent harm or serious injury
  
  

• Prevent fraud or abuse of the TinyNest Service or its users
  
  

• Protect TinyNest’s property rights
  
  

In cases where we provide your files to law enforcement, we will remove any TinyNest-specific encryption prior to disclosure. However, we cannot decrypt files that you encrypted before uploading them.

Business Transitions.
If we become involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you (via email or a prominent notice on our website) if there is a change in control or use of your Personal Information or files, or if they become subject to a different Privacy Policy. We will also advise you of any choices available regarding your information.

Aggregated or Non-Personal Data.
We may disclose aggregated or non-identifiable information (such as overall usage statistics) that does not identify you personally.

4. Modifying or Removing Your Information

If you are a registered user, you can review, update, correct, or remove the Personal Information provided during registration or in your account profile by modifying your account settings. If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you decide you no longer wish to use our Service, you may update or delete that information through your account settings. In certain circumstances, we may retain copies of your information as required by law. For any questions regarding your Personal Information on our Service, please contact us at contact@tinynestai.com. We will respond to your inquiry within 30 days.

5. Data Retention Policy

We will keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you choose to cancel your account or request that we stop using your information for service purposes, you may delete your account. We may retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. While we aim to delete your information promptly upon request, please note that there may be delays in removal from our servers, and backup copies might remain. Furthermore, we do not remove files from our servers that are shared with other users.

6. Security Measures

Protecting your information is paramount to us. When you enter sensitive data (such as credit card details) on our order forms, we secure its transmission using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We adhere to generally accepted industry standards to safeguard the information submitted to us, both during transmission and after receipt. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have any questions about the security of our website, please contact us at contact@tinynestai.com.

8. Amendments to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. If we implement changes that we believe significantly affect your rights, we will notify you (for example, via email) and may provide additional notices as necessary. By continuing to use the TinyNest Service after such changes take effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
