PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 10-2-2024

TinyTales.Press is committed to protecting the privacy of our users, including children under the age of 13. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect personal information, particularly from children, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

1. Information We Collect

TinyTales.Press collects limited personal information from users, including children, as described below:

• From Parents/Guardians: We may collect the following personal information when you create an account, subscribe to our services, or participate in future recordings:
• Parent or guardian's name
• Email address
• Payment information (if applicable)
• From Children (with parental consent): TinyTales.Press may collect the following personal information from children under 13 with verifiable parental consent:
• Future audio recordings of the child’s voice during story interactions
• Comments, questions, or other input shared during the recording session

We do not collect more information than is reasonably necessary to provide our services.

2. How We Use the Information

The personal information collected from children provides an enhanced and personalized experience for parents and children. Specifically, we use this information to:

• Facilitate future recorded story sessions
• Store and allow replay of these future recordings for future use by the authorized parent ONLY
• Enable parents and children to access and revisit their recorded content

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information collected from children with third parties except as required by law.

3. Parental Consent

To comply with COPPA, we require verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information from a child under the age of 13. Parents can provide consent through a verification process that includes options such as:

• Email confirmation paired with additional verification steps (e.g., payment method verification)
• Signed consent forms submitted by mail or electronic means

4. Parental Rights

Parents and guardians have the following rights concerning their child’s personal information:

• Access: Parents can review the personal information collected from their child by logging into their account or contacting us at Support@TinyTales.Press.
• Deletion: Parents can request that we delete their child’s personal information at any time by contacting us at Support@TinyTales.Press.
• Revoke Consent: Parents may withdraw their consent for future data collection from their child by contacting us. If consent is withdrawn, the child’s access to certain services may be restricted.

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption and secure storage practices, to protect all personal information collected through TinyTales.Press. While we take reasonable precautions to protect data, no security measure is 100% foolproof, and we encourage parents to monitor their child’s use of our services.

6. Sharing Information with Third Parties

We do not share personal information collected from children with third parties, except in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted service providers who assist in the operation of our platform (e.g., cloud storage providers), but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe that such disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of our users or comply with legal processes.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify parents of any material changes via email or through our platform and obtain new parental consent if necessary.
