Tiny Concepts Privacy Policy

Tiny Concepts respects the privacy of its participants, volunteers and other visitors to tinyconcepts.co (the “Website”). To protect online privacy, Tiny Concepts has implemented the following privacy policy. The privacy policy identifies the information we collect about you, how we use information that we collect, to whom we disclose the information, and how you can redress any concerns with our privacy practices. This privacy policy applies both to information that we collect online through our Website, as well as information that is collected through other means.

By using our Website, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy and you agree to the Website Terms of Use as if fully incorporated herein. If you do not agree with the data practices described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Website.

Tiny Concepts primarily collects information on this Website to help our organization improve its Website and otherwise better serve our participants and volunteers. We also collect and store personally identifiable information that participants and visitors voluntarily and knowingly provide.

This Website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children consistent with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. If we learn that we have received information directly from a child under age 13 without the parent or legal guardian’s verified consent, we will use that information only to respond to the child/parent/guardian to inform the child that he or she may not use the Website.

Use of Cookies

The Tiny Concepts Website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a web server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page.

We may also utilize web beacons on our Website. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. The information collected through these automated means may include information that we gather and store about your visit to, and use of, the Website, such as your IP address, type of browser and operating system used, date and time you access the Website, pages you visit, and, if you linked to the Website from another Website, the address of that Website. This data does not include personal information and is not treated as personal information under this Privacy Policy, but it may include the IP address of your device. We may link an IP address to information that is personally identifiable.
