The TnyInk Privacy Promise

The Short Version

• We don't sell your data. We don't sell your audience's data. Not ever, not to anyone.
• We don't show ads. Not on your redirects, not on your bio page, not in your dashboard.
• We don't store your visitors' IP addresses. We never wanted them.
• We don't lock you in. Your links, your bio page, your analytics, your custom domain: all yours, all exportable.
• If you ask us to delete your data, we delete it. Immediately. Not after a "cooling off" period designed to make you change your mind.
• We don't quietly make the free tier worse to push you toward paying. If we ever change it, it gets better, not sneakier.

Everything below is just the long version of those six lines.

What We Actually Collect, and Why

If you're a creator, we know your email, your handle, the links and cards you build, and whatever you type into your bio page. If you upgrade to Pro or Teams, Stripe handles your card details directly. We never see your full card number, and we never see your password either. That part is handled by our authentication provider, on purpose, so a data breach of our own systems can't expose it.

If you're a visitor, someone who just clicked a tny.ink link or looked at someone's bio page, here's the honest, complete list of what we know about that click: roughly what country you're in, whether you were on a phone or a computer, what browser you used, and which site sent you. That's it. We don't know your IP address. We never store it.

To count unique visits without tracking you personally, we generate a temporary ID by scrambling your IP and browser info together with a random code that changes every single day and gets thrown away entirely after 48 hours. So we can tell "this is probably the same person clicking twice today," but we cannot follow you from Tuesday into Wednesday. That's not an accident. That's the design.

What We Will Never Do

These aren't goals. They're promises we're writing down so you can hold us to them.

• We will never sell or rent your data, or your visitors' data, to anyone. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to "trusted partners."
• We will never show an ad anywhere in the product. Your audience clicks your link and sees your destination. Not an ad. Not ours, not anyone else's.
• We will never use your data to build an ad business on the side. There is no version of TnyInk's future where your analytics become someone else's targeting data.
• We will never make it hard to leave. If you want your data, you get it. If you want to move your custom domain, you can. If we're not the best tool for you anymore, we'd rather know than trap you.
• We will never quietly weaken the free tier to force an upgrade. Every change to what's free moves in one direction: better.

If You Ask Us to Delete Something, We Delete It

No 30-day countdown. No "are you sure, here's what you'll lose" guilt trip. No quietly keeping a copy just in case. You ask, we act, right away. A few narrow exceptions exist, mainly billing records we're required to keep for tax purposes, but your account, your bio page, and your links go when you tell us to make them go.

The Cookies, Honestly

Our marketing site and dashboard use standard analytics tools (Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics) so we can tell whether our own site works and where people get stuck. That's for us to understand our own site, not to watch your audience. It has nothing to do with the click and view data described above, which never uses these tools at all. You can turn these cookies off in your browser any time, and the site will still work.

One Rule for Anyone Under 13

TnyInk isn't built for kids, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you think a child has signed up or been added to our systems, tell us and we'll take care of it.
