Privacy Policy

What we DON’T collect:

• Personal Information: No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or contact details
• Usage Data: No analytics about how you use the software, which features you access, or how often you use it
• Device Information: No hardware IDs, IP addresses, MAC addresses, or device fingerprints
• Recording Data: Your recorded macros stay on your computer; we never see or access them
• Technical Data: No crash reports, error logs, or diagnostic information is transmitted
• Location Data: No GPS coordinates, geographic location, or timezone information
• Behavioral Data: No tracking of mouse movements, keyboard inputs, or screen content beyond what you record locally

Why we don’t collect data: We believe automation tools should be private by default. Your workflows, business processes, and recorded macros are sensitive information. We’ve intentionally designed Tiny Clicker to operate 100% offline with zero data transmission.

Since we don’t collect any information, there is nothing to use, process, or analyze.

What happens to your data:

• Recorded Macros: Stored locally as .rec files on your computer. We never access or transmit these files.
• Settings: Saved locally in TinyClicker.ini in the same directory as the executable. Never transmitted.
• Compiled Executables: Created entirely on your local machine. No data is sent to our servers (we don’t have servers).
• Application Behavior: All processing happens locally using Windows APIs. No cloud services or external connections.

No Third-Party Sharing: Since we don’t collect data, there’s nothing to share with advertisers, analytics companies, or any other third parties.

No Profiling or Targeting: We don’t build user profiles, track behavior patterns, or engage in any form of data mining or targeted advertising.

Tiny Clicker stores data locally on your computer for functionality purposes. This data never leaves your device.

Files Created by Tiny Clicker:

• TinyClicker.ini – Configuration file containing your preferences (hotkeys, playback speed, window position, etc.). Located in the same folder as TinyClicker.exe.
• .rec files – Macro recordings you choose to save. You control where these files are saved and can delete them at any time.
• .exe files – Compiled macros you create using the “Compile to EXE” feature. These are standalone executables that contain your recorded actions.

Security of Local Files:

• All files are stored with standard Windows file permissions based on your user account
• Files are not encrypted by default (they contain configuration data, not passwords or sensitive credentials)
• You have full control to move, copy, backup, or delete these files
• File access is governed by your operating system’s security model

No Cloud Storage: Tiny Clicker does not offer or use cloud storage, cloud sync, or cloud backup features. Your data stays on your computer.

While Tiny Clicker itself doesn’t collect data, our website (tinyclicker.com) may use standard web technologies:

Website Data Collection:

• Server Logs: Our web hosting provider may log IP addresses, browser types, and access times for security and performance purposes. We do not actively analyze or use this data.
• Cookies: We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies on our website. Any cookies present are strictly functional (e.g., session management if you contact us).
• Contact Forms: If you submit a contact form on our website, we collect only the information you voluntarily provide (typically name and email) to respond to your inquiry. This information is not used for marketing.
• Download Statistics: Our hosting provider may track download counts for the Tiny Clicker executable. These are aggregate statistics and do not identify individual users.

Third-Party Services:

• We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking services
• We do not embed social media widgets that track visitors
• We do not use advertising networks or retargeting services
• Our website hosting is provided by [Your Hosting Provider], subject to their privacy policy

Email Communications: If you contact us via email, we store your email address and message content only for the purpose of responding to you. We do not add you to mailing lists or use your email for marketing without explicit consent.

Tiny Clicker does not integrate with, connect to, or share data with any third-party services.

No External Connections:

• No analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.)
• No crash reporting services (Sentry, Bugsnag, etc.)
• No advertising networks
• No social media integrations
• No update servers or version check services
• No licensing servers or activation systems

Offline Operation: Tiny Clicker operates entirely offline. It does not require internet connectivity and never attempts to connect to external servers.

Links to Third-Party Websites: Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., documentation, tutorials, support forums). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.

Since Tiny Clicker doesn’t collect or transmit data, the traditional concept of “data security” (protecting data in transit or on our servers) doesn’t apply. However, we take security seriously in other ways:

Application Security:

• No Network Communication: The software doesn’t open network connections, eliminating remote attack vectors
• Local File Permissions: Files are created with standard Windows permissions based on your user account
• No Remote Code Execution: The software doesn’t download or execute code from the internet
• Minimal Attack Surface: By not implementing networking, databases, or complex authentication, we reduce potential vulnerabilities

Your Responsibility:

• Protect your computer with standard security practices (antivirus, firewall, OS updates)
• Be cautious when sharing .rec files with others (they contain your recorded actions)
• Store sensitive macro files in secure locations with appropriate file permissions
• Don’t record passwords, credit card numbers, or other sensitive data in macros

Antivirus False Positives: As explained in our Disclaimer, some antivirus software may flag Tiny Clicker due to its use of low-level input APIs. This is a false positive—the software contains no malware and doesn’t compromise your security.

Tiny Clicker is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

COPPA Compliance: The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires parental consent for collecting information from children under 13. Since we don’t collect any information from anyone, this requirement is automatically satisfied.

Age Restrictions: While there are no technical age restrictions on using Tiny Clicker, we recommend parental supervision for young users who may not understand the implications of macro automation.

Educational Use: Teachers and parents who allow children to use Tiny Clicker should supervise their activities and explain appropriate use cases (e.g., learning automation concepts) versus inappropriate use (e.g., circumventing game rules).

We respect your privacy rights under regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

GDPR Rights (European Users):

• Right to Access: You have the right to know what data we hold about you (which is none)
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to correct inaccurate data (not applicable)
• Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You have the right to request deletion of your data (not applicable—we don’t store data)
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your data in a portable format (not applicable)
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your data (not applicable)
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to restrict how we process your data (not applicable)

CCPA Rights (California Users):

• Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of your personal information (not applicable)
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: You have the right to opt-out of sale of your personal information (we don’t sell data)

How to Exercise Your Rights: If you believe we are holding personal information about you or wish to make a formal inquiry, please contact us at the email address provided below. We will investigate and respond within the legally required timeframe.

Since we don’t collect data, there is no data retention policy in the traditional sense.

Local Files:

• Configuration files (TinyClicker.ini) persist until you delete them or uninstall the software
• Macro files (.rec) persist until you manually delete them
• Compiled executables persist indefinitely unless you delete them

Website Contact Forms: If you contact us through our website, we retain your email and message for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, typically no longer than 12 months. You may request deletion at any time.

Complete Data Removal: To completely remove all traces of Tiny Clicker from your system:

• Delete TinyClicker.exe
• Delete TinyClicker.ini (in the same folder)
• Delete any .rec files you’ve created
• Delete any compiled .exe files you’ve generated

There are no hidden registry entries, AppData folders, or system files to clean up.

Tiny Clicker is available for download worldwide. Since the software operates entirely offline and doesn’t collect data, there are no international data transfers to discuss.

No Cross-Border Data Transfers:

• Your data stays on your computer in your jurisdiction
• No data is transferred to servers in other countries
• GDPR concerns about data leaving the EU don’t apply
• No need for Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other transfer mechanisms

Website Hosting: Our website is hosted by [Your Hosting Provider] which may have servers in [Location]. However, the website doesn’t collect personal information beyond what’s necessary to respond to contact form submissions.

Compliance with Local Laws: By using Tiny Clicker entirely offline, you ensure compliance with your local data protection regulations automatically.

“Do Not Track” (DNT) is a browser setting that requests websites not to track your browsing behavior.

Our Approach: Since Tiny Clicker doesn’t track users at all—whether through the software or the website—DNT signals are respected by default. We don’t need to honor DNT requests because we’re not tracking in the first place.

Website Behavior: Our website doesn’t use tracking cookies or analytics, so DNT status is irrelevant. We treat all visitors the same: with no tracking.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, our practices, or for clarification purposes.

Notification of Changes:

• We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy
• Material changes will be announced on our website homepage
• Continued use of Tiny Clicker after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

Commitment to Privacy: Any future changes to this policy will maintain our core commitment: Tiny Clicker will remain a privacy-first application that doesn’t collect user data. If we ever decide to implement data collection, we will:

• Make it opt-in by default
• Clearly explain what data is collected and why
• Provide easy ways to opt-out or delete your data
• Notify users prominently before implementing such changes

Version History: We maintain a history of policy changes to ensure transparency. You can request previous versions of this policy by contacting us.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or your privacy rights, please contact us:

• Website: tinyclicker.com

Response Time: We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 48-72 hours. For formal data subject access requests under GDPR or CCPA, we will respond within the legally required timeframes (30 days for GDPR, 45 days for CCPA).

Privacy Officer: For formal complaints or escalations, please address your communication to “Privacy Officer” in the contact form.
