Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Sergei Filkov, a sole proprietor established in the country of Georgia ("TinyFolder", "we", "us", or "our"), collects and uses your information when you use the TinyFolder application and the tinyfolder.app website (the "Service"). We are the data controller for the processing described here.

Contact: support@tinyfolder.app

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• License activation: your email address and license key when you activate a Pro license.

• Support: any information you include when you contact support@tinyfolder.app.

Information collected automatically

• Device / activation data: to bind your license to your device(s) and prevent abuse, we process a non-reversible (hashed) device identifier derived from your Mac. We do not use it to track you across other apps or services.

• Diagnostics & usage (if enabled): we may collect anonymous, aggregated usage and crash information to improve the app. This data is not linked to your identity.

• Website: tinyfolder.app may collect basic, privacy-respecting analytics (such as page views) and uses only essential cookies by default.

Payment information

• Purchases are processed by our Merchant of Record, Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd and its affiliates). Paddle collects your name, email, billing address, and payment details to process the transaction and applicable taxes. We never receive or store your full payment-card details. We receive limited order information from Paddle (such as your email, order reference, and country) to deliver and support your license. See Paddle's Privacy Policy.

2. What We Do Not Collect

• TinyFolder requests the macOS Screen Recording permission solely to capture your desktop wallpaper locally, so the app's glass effects can refract it. That image is processed on your device only and is never transmitted to us or to anyone else.

• We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To deliver, activate, and support your license (performance of our contract with you);

• To validate licenses and prevent fraud or abuse (our legitimate interests);

• To improve the Service through anonymous diagnostics (our legitimate interests, or your consent where required);

• To comply with legal and tax obligations (handled via Paddle).

4. Sharing

We share information only with: Paddle (payments, tax, billing, and fraud prevention); service providers that help us operate the Service (such as email, hosting, and optional analytics) under appropriate safeguards; and authorities where required by law.

5. International Transfers

We and our providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses).

6. Retention

We keep license and order information for as long as needed to provide the Service and to meet legal and tax obligations, after which we delete or anonymize it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location (including under the EU/UK GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, email support@tinyfolder.app. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. For payment data held by Paddle, please contact Paddle directly.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

10. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will change accordingly.
