Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 15, 2026
1. Introduction
TinyVideo ("we", "us", or "our") operates tinyvid.io, a video compression and optimization service. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights — depending on whether you use browser-based or cloud processing.
2. Free Tier — Browser-Based Processing
The Free tier processes video entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm). Your video files never leave your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any video content from Free-tier users.
We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage signals (e.g., page views, feature interactions) through standard web analytics to improve the product. No personally identifiable information is attached to these signals.
3. Fast Cloud Processing
When you use Fast Cloud, you upload video files to our servers for faster processing. The following applies:
- Video files are uploaded to our secure servers for processing. Original uploads are removed when processing completes and processed outputs are retained for up to 2 hours before automatic deletion.
- Account data (email address, hashed password, cloud-time balance, and order history) is stored in our database to provide your account.
- Google sign-in is optional. If you choose it, Google shares your email address and a Google account identifier with us. We use them only to sign you in and never access your contacts, files, or other Google data.
- Payment data is handled entirely by Paddle, our merchant of record. We never see or store your card details — we only store the resulting order record (transaction id, amount, and cloud time granted) needed to maintain your balance and order history.
- Email address is used to send account-related communications (e.g., password reset, verification, and processing-complete notifications). We do not send unsolicited marketing email.
4. Data We Collect
| Data | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Video files | Never — stays on device | Processed output deleted after 2 hours |
| Email address | Not collected | Required for account |
| Payment records | Not collected | Order record only — card details never reach us |
| Usage analytics | Anonymous only | Anonymous only |
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use minimal cookies necessary to maintain your authenticated session. Advertising and anonymous analytics may use cookies or local storage according to their own policies.
6. Third-Party Services
- Google AdSense — advertising. Subject to Google's own privacy terms.
- Paddle — payment processing and merchant of record for cloud-time purchases. Subject to Paddle's own privacy terms.
7. Data Retention
- Pro original uploads are removed after processing; processed outputs are deleted after 2 hours.
- Account data: retained while your account is active. You may request deletion at any time by emailing us.
- Cloud-time reward records: retained to operate balances and prevent duplicate rewards.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at everyone@tinyvid.io.
9. Security
We use industry-standard security practices including HTTPS, hashed passwords, and time-limited file retention to protect your data. No system is completely secure; we will notify affected users promptly in the event of a data breach.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of TinyVideo after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
