Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 22, 2026
Plain English Summary
What this policy covers: This explains what information TinyFirm collects about you, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over your data.
The short version: TinyFirm collects very little data. We need your email to communicate with you, your company info from the apply form to assess fit, and Stripe handles your payment. We never see or store your credit card number. If you provide your phone number, we may send you appointment reminders and service notifications via text message. We never share your mobile information with third parties for marketing purposes. We don’t track you across the web, we don’t sell your data, and we don’t use advertising cookies. The TinyFirm product runs entirely on your local machine.
Your rights: You can request a copy of all data we have about you, ask us to delete it, or correct inaccuracies. Email contact@tinyfirm.dev and we’ll handle it within 30 days.
