Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Tiny Talkers is designed for use by children under the supervision of a parent or guardian. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. The app uses anonymous authentication — no email, name, or personal details are required.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with:
- Firebase (Google): For authentication, analytics, and cloud functions
- AdMob (Google): For displaying ads to free-tier users (no personalized ads for children)
Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. You can request deletion of your data by contacting us.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt out of certain data collection
Advertising
Free-tier users may see ads served by Google AdMob. We use child-directed ad settings as required by COPPA, which means no personalized or behaviorally targeted ads are shown to children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
