Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 28, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Tiny Trekkers' Privacy Policy. At Tiny Trekkers, we are committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of your child's information.

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our Tiny Trekkers website and application (the "Service"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Tiny Trekkers is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information about you or your child on our servers. All data you enter into the application, including:

  • Your child's name (which is optional)
  • Your child's age
  • Milestone tracking data
  • Any notes or additional information you provide

is stored exclusively on your local device using browser localStorage technology. This means your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it.

3. Local Storage

Our service uses localStorage, a web browser feature that allows websites to store data directly in your browser. Here's what you should know about how we use localStorage:

  • Data stored in localStorage remains on your device even after you close your browser.
  • The data is only accessible when you visit our website again from the same browser on the same device.
  • We do not have access to the data stored in your browser's localStorage.
  • Clearing your browser cache or cookies will remove the localStorage data.

The data stored includes your child's milestone progress, name (if provided), age, and any theme preferences for the application.

4. Data Export and Import

Tiny Trekkers allows you to export your data as a JSON, CSV, or text file, which you can save to your device for backup purposes or to transfer to another device. When you import this data back into the application, it is again stored only in your browser's localStorage and is not transmitted to our servers.

We recommend regularly exporting your data for backup purposes, especially before clearing your browser cache or switching devices.

5. Analytics and Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data to help us improve our service. This data does not include any personal information about you or your child, but rather information about how the service is used in aggregate.

Google Analytics may use cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. These cookies collect anonymous information such as:

  • The pages you visit on our website
  • How long you spend on each page
  • How you reached our website
  • What you click on while on our website
  • Basic technical information such as your browser type and device type

You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer not to have this information collected.

6. Children's Privacy

We understand the importance of protecting children's privacy. Our service does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. All child-related information that parents or caregivers enter is stored exclusively on the local device and is not transmitted to our servers.

If you believe we might have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at the contact information provided below.

7. Data Security

While we do not collect personal data on our servers, we are committed to ensuring the security of our website and application. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the data stored in localStorage.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of data stored on your local device.

8. Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party websites or services. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

10. Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store your personal data on our servers, many traditional data rights (such as the right to access, correct, or delete data) are automatically in your control. You can:

  • Export your data at any time using our export feature
  • Delete your data by using the reset feature in the application
  • Clear your browser's localStorage to remove all data
