Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Tiny Rock we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can't stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Tiny Rock operates several websites including tinyrock.com. It is Tiny Rock's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Tiny Rock collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Tiny Rock's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Tiny Rock's visitors use its website. From time to time, Tiny Rock may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Tiny Rock also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Tiny Rock does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Tiny Rock's websites choose to interact with Tiny Rock in ways that require Tiny Rock to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Tiny Rock gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with Tiny Rock are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Tiny Rock collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Tiny Rock. Tiny Rock does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Tiny Rock may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Tiny Rock may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Tiny Rock does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Tiny Rock discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Tiny Rock's behalf or to provide services available at Tiny Rock's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Tiny Rock's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Tiny Rock will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Tiny Rock discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Tiny Rock believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Tiny Rock, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Tiny Rock website and have supplied your email address, Tiny Rock may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Tiny Rock and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Tiny Rock takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Tiny Rock encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
