Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 18, 2026
Last Updated: October 18, 2026

This policy explains what TinyTasks collects when you use the iPad app and this website, why we collect it, which companies help us run TinyTasks, and the choices you have. “TinyTasks”, “we” and “us” mean the makers of TinyTasks.

The short version: we collect what we need to run the app and understand how it’s used. We never sell your data, never show ads, and never record your kids’ names, task names or photos in analytics.

1. Who We Are

   TinyTasks is a picture-based chore board for families, used on an iPad. Parents and guardians create the account and set everything up. Children use the kid board on a device the parent has set up, under the parent’s account. Children don’t have accounts of their own.

2. Information You Give Us

   • Your account: your email address, your first name, and your password (stored only in hashed form by our sign-in provider). We also email you one-time codes to verify your address.
   • Your children’s profiles: a first name or nickname, an optional birthday, a colour, and an avatar. The avatar is either an icon or a photo you choose from your device.
   • What you set up in the app: tasks, routines, scheduled events, celebration settings, a board passcode if you set one, your language and other preferences.
   • Activity on the board: which tasks were marked done, and when. This powers progress, history and celebrations.
   • Messages to us: your email address and what you write when you contact us, send feedback or suggest an icon.
   • Purchases: subscriptions are bought through Apple. We receive your subscription status (for example, which plan and when it renews), never your payment details.

3. Information Collected Automatically

   • Usage analytics (app version 1.0.7 and later): we record events such as the app being opened or closed, screens viewed, sign-up and set-up steps (for example, a child added or the board opened), tasks marked done or undone, celebrations shown, the upgrade screen being shown or closed, and purchases completed or failed. Events are linked to your TinyTasks account ID and include basic device information: app version, iPadOS version, device model, language, time zone and screen size.

     Analytics never include names (yours or your children’s), email addresses, task names, photos or anything you type. IP addresses are discarded, we don’t derive location from analytics, and we don’t record your screen. You can turn analytics off at any time in Settings → Privacy → Share usage data.

   • Crash and error reports: when the app crashes or hits an error, it sends a technical report so we can fix it. The report includes the error, the app version, device model and iPadOS version, the screens and network requests leading up to it, and your account ID. Reports don’t include your email address, and we don’t store IP addresses with them. Crash reports are sent even if usage analytics is turned off, because we need them to keep the app working.
   • Approximate location when you first sign in: the first time you sign in, we use your IP address to look up an approximate location (city, region, country and time zone) and store that location, without the IP address, on your account. We use it to understand where families use TinyTasks. We never use your device’s GPS.
   • This website: we use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It doesn’t use cookies and doesn’t identify individual visitors. If you use the contact or feedback forms, we receive what you submit.

4. How We Use Your Information

   • To run TinyTasks: sign you in, keep your boards in sync across devices, and unlock the features you’ve paid for
   • To send you emails about your account, such as verification codes and purchase confirmations, and occasional tips for getting started. Every tips email has an unsubscribe link.
   • To answer your messages and support requests
   • To understand how TinyTasks is used, so we can improve it
   • To find and fix crashes and bugs, and to keep the service secure

   We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or show ads. TinyTasks contains no advertising or ad-tracking tools, doesn’t use your device’s advertising identifier, and doesn’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

5. Companies That Help Us Run TinyTasks

   We share information with these service providers only so they can provide their service to us:

   • Supabase: our database, sign-in, file storage (including avatar photos) and server functions. As part of signing in, it records the IP address and device of each sign-in session to keep your account secure.
   • Apple: app distribution and App Store purchases.
   • RevenueCat: manages subscriptions. It receives your account ID and your purchase and subscription details. App versions before 1.0.7 also sent your email address and first name; version 1.0.7 stops sending them and clears them from RevenueCat.
   • PostHog (United States): usage analytics, as described above.
   • Sentry (United States): crash and error reports.
   • Resend: sends our emails, so it receives your email address, your first name and the email’s content.
   • GIPHY: if you search for a celebration GIF, your search words are sent to GIPHY, and GIFs load from GIPHY’s servers, which receive your device’s IP address.
   • ip-api.com: receives your IP address once, at first sign-in, to look up your approximate location.
   • Vercel: hosts this website and provides its cookie-free page-view analytics.

   Some of these providers store or process data in the United States and other countries. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

6. Children’s Privacy

   TinyTasks is designed for parents and guardians. Children use the kid board under a parent’s account and can’t create accounts. The kid board has no ads, chat, purchases or links to other apps or websites, and a parent can set a passcode so children can’t leave it.

   The information about your children is the information you add: a first name or nickname, an optional birthday, an avatar, and their tasks and task history. Photos you choose for an avatar are uploaded to our storage provider so they appear on your devices. Board activity is recorded under your account and, if analytics is on, appears in analytics only as events like “task completed”, without names, task names or photos.

   You can edit or delete a child’s profile at any time in the app. If you think a child has created an account without a parent, contact us and we’ll delete it.

7. How Long We Keep Information

   We keep your account information for as long as you have an account. When you delete your account in Settings → Account → Delete Account, we delete your account, your children’s profiles, tasks, events and history. Crash reports are deleted automatically after a limited period. Analytics events linked to your account ID can be deleted on request; email us.

8. Your Rights & Choices

   • See and update your information in the app
   • Delete your account and data in the app
   • Turn off usage analytics in Settings → Privacy → Share usage data
   • Unsubscribe from tips emails using the link in any of them
   • Ask us for a copy of your data, or ask us to delete analytics or other data linked to your account, by emailing us

   Depending on where you live (for example, the EU, the UK or California), you may have more rights, such as objecting to certain processing. We’ll respond to requests within 30 days.

9. Data Security

   Your data is encrypted in transit and stored by our providers using encryption at rest. Access to your account requires your password or a one-time code sent to your email address.

10. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll change the date at the top, and if a change is significant we’ll let you know in the app or by email.
