Welcome to Tiny Reading List. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information about you when you use our website and services.

How We Share Your Information
We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party services to help operate our website and deliver our services (e.g., email service providers, hosting providers)
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or legal process
- Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction
- With Your Consent: We may share information for other purposes with your explicit consent
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate website traffic. It does not use cookies and does not identify individual visitors. If you choose “Allow analytics,” we also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics stays off until you opt in and may then store analytics cookies on your device.
When you email yourself a book or list, we also remember your email address in your browser (using local storage on your own device) so you don’t have to retype it next time. This stays on your device and is never used to identify you.
You can change your Google Analytics choice at any time using “Analytics settings” in the footer. You can also control cookies through your browser preferences. Declining analytics does not affect the site’s features.
Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When you unsubscribe from our email list, we will remove your email address from our active mailing list but may retain certain information for record-keeping purposes.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information
- Opt-out: Unsubscribe from our email communications at any time
