Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 15, 2026

Privacy TL;DR

  • No passwords. Google login only
  • No ads. No tracking. No data selling
  • Only your bookmarks are stored
  • Everything is tied to your user ID — nothing else
  • You can delete your data anytime

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how TinyPad ("Service") collects, uses, and protects your information.

TinyPad follows a minimal data approach. We only process what is required to operate the Service.

Information We Collect

Authentication Data

When you sign in using Google via BetterAuth, we receive:

  • A unique user ID
  • Basic account metadata required for authentication

We do not store passwords and we do not manage your Google credentials.

User Data

We store the data you create in the Service, including:

  • Bookmarks (URLs, titles, icons, grouping)

This data is private and only accessible through your authenticated account.

Usage Data

We may collect limited technical data such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser and device information
  • Basic interaction logs

This data is used for security, debugging, and performance improvements only.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data strictly to:

  • Provide and operate the Service
  • Authenticate users
  • Store and retrieve your bookmarks
  • Maintain system performance and security

We do not sell your data, run ads, or use your data for marketing.

Data Storage

Your data is stored using MongoDB and related infrastructure providers.

All data is linked to your account via a unique user ID, not personal identifiers.

Third-Party Services

We rely on third-party services including:

  • Google (authentication)
  • BetterAuth
  • Infrastructure providers (hosting and database)

These services may process data according to their own privacy policies.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active.

If your account is deleted, your data may be permanently removed. Backup copies may persist temporarily.

We do not guarantee indefinite data storage.

Data Control

You can:

  • Delete your bookmarks within the Service
  • Stop using the Service at any time

You may contact us for full data deletion requests.

Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure.

International Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored in different countries depending on infrastructure providers.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under the age of 18.

External Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of updates.
