Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Tiny Treasures holds something sacred — a family’s voices, kept for a child to open years from now. We designed the app so that trust is structural, not a promise: the things we say we never do, the code cannot do. This is the plain-language version.
No voice analysis, no transcription, no biometrics — ever
We never run speech-to-text on your recordings, never extract a voiceprint or any biometric identifier, and never perform sentiment, keyword, or any other analysis of what is said. The only things the app does with audio are record it, store it, play it back to its own author, and stitch your own recordings into one file when you export. Your audio is copied byte-for-byte; it is never inspected. There is no model to leak, no transcript to breach.
The free tier keeps everything on your device
If you use Tiny Treasures on your own — recording for one child — your recordings, photos, and notes live only on your iPhone (and your normal device/iCloud backup, under your control). No account is required, and nothing is sent to us. Recordings are stored with iOS data protection, encrypted whenever your phone is locked. You can export everything to a single audio file at any time, with no account and no network — your recordings always belong to you.
What the Family plan stores, and where
If you buy the one-time Family plan to invite grandparents, siblings, or a co-parent, we store what’s needed to sync across those devices: the audio and photos you choose to keep, the child’s first name and birthdate, and each contributor’s chosen display name. Media is stored encrypted at rest with Cloudflare R2 and transferred over encrypted connections. We use it only to run the capsule — never to advertise, profile, or sell.
Everyone records privately
No contributor can ever access another contributor’s message content. Others appear to you only as a name, a relationship, and a count of sealed messages — never a preview, never the audio. This is enforced on our servers, not by the app politely looking away. The child’s own voice recordings (“Tiny Treasures”) are the one thing shared among the family, by design, so a grandparent can hear their grandchild say a first word.
Children
Tiny Treasures is used by adults — a parent or family member is the user; the child is the subject of the recordings, not an operator of the app. We do not knowingly let children use the app directly, and we collect a child’s information only as the parent chooses to record it. A parent can delete any recording, or a contributor and all of their recordings, at any time.
No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics
We do not track you across apps or websites, show advertising, or embed third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. Purchases are processed by Apple; we use RevenueCat to validate them. That is the extent of third parties that touch your data.
Your choices
- Export your recordings to one audio file, anytime, offline.
- Delete any recording, contributor, or your whole capsule.
- Decline permissions (microphone, photos) and still use the app — recording falls back to writing, and the day collage simply doesn’t appear.
Changes & contact
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above. Questions about your family’s data can be sent to privacy@tinytreasuresapp.com.
