Privacy policy.
Your stories are personal. Here is how we handle the information you share with tiny tabloid.
Effective November 4, 20261. Who we are and what this covers
Tiny Tabloid is a service in development that turns updates from friends and family into a monthly group newspaper. This policy covers this website, communications with us, and the planned SMS/MMS service. Contact Tiny Tabloid at grady@tinytabloid.com.
This website currently provides product information and a fictional sample issue. It does not offer accounts, accept story submissions, or enroll you in text messages. The sections about text messages, group content, and AI editing describe how we intend to operate the service when enrollment opens. We will update this policy before collecting information for any materially different purpose.
2. Information we collect
On this website. Our hosting provider may process technical information such as your IP address, browser, request time, and pages requested to deliver and secure the site. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include.
When the service opens. If you choose to participate, we will process your name, mobile number, group membership, messaging preferences, and records of your consent. We will also process messages, photos, captions, and other content you submit, along with delivery and opt-out records. Any account or billing collection will be explained before you provide that information.
Please share only content you have permission to contribute. Avoid sensitive information, such as financial account numbers, medical records, or identification documents.
3. How we use information
We use information to operate and secure the website, respond to questions, and, when available, manage group participation, send requested reminders and issue links, prepare the newspaper, and honor messaging and privacy choices. We may also use necessary records to prevent abuse and meet legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information or use the stories you contribute to target advertising.
4. Mobile information and messaging consent
We do not sell, rent, or share mobile numbers, mobile opt-in data, or SMS/MMS consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
Messaging consent is specific to Tiny Tabloid and is not transferable. We use messaging providers only as needed to deliver and operate the service on our behalf, subject to restrictions on their use of the information. They may process phone numbers, message content, delivery information, and necessary consent or suppression records for that purpose, not for their own marketing.
Joining a group or receiving an invitation does not by itself enroll you in messages. We will obtain your explicit consent before sending service texts. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of purchase.
5. Group stories and AI editing
The planned service uses AI to organize and edit the updates and photos you choose to submit. Hosting, storage, and AI providers may process that content on our behalf to prepare and deliver an issue. We will identify the relevant providers and explain the contribution flow before accepting group content.
Your contributions are intended for the members of your group. Other members can read, copy, or share material they can access, so please consider what you send. We do not publish group stories to a public feed. The sample issue on this website is fictional.
6. Other disclosures
We may disclose information to service providers that help us host and secure the site, deliver messages, store content, or provide support. We limit disclosure to the work they perform for us. We may also disclose information when required by law or when necessary to protect rights, safety, or the service.
The restriction on sharing mobile information and messaging consent for marketing or promotional purposes applies to all sharing described in this policy.
7. Cookies and analytics
This marketing website does not use advertising pixels, analytics scripts, or nonessential cookies, and does not store preferences in your browser. Our hosting provider may retain technical logs needed for delivery, reliability, and security. We will update this policy if the app introduces cookies or other storage.
8. Retention and security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, including providing the service, resolving support requests, and meeting legal or security obligations. Some messaging consent and opt-out records may need to remain so we can respect your preferences and document compliance.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards. No system or method of transmission is completely secure. Service providers may process information in the United States or other countries where they operate.
9. Your choices and requests
Once messaging is available, reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance. Message frequency varies with reminders, replies, and issue delivery. Message and data rates may apply. Opting out stops messages but does not automatically remove contributions already included in a group issue.
You can ask to access, correct, or delete your information by emailing grady@tinytabloid.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights. We will respond as required by applicable law and may need to verify your request. We will explain any legal reason that prevents us from fulfilling it. Do not send sensitive identity documents unless we specifically request a secure verification method.
10. Children
Tiny Tabloid is intended for adult participants and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it as appropriate. Adults should have permission before submitting photos or stories about children.
11. Updates and contact
We will post changes here and update the effective date. If a change materially affects participants, we will provide appropriate notice before it takes effect. For privacy questions or requests, email grady@tinytabloid.com.
For messaging rules and service terms, read our terms and conditions.
