tiny social
last updated 12 october 2026. this policy covers the tiny social iPhone app, this site, and tiny yell (yell.tinysocial.space), all published by hetki records.
the app collects nothing. there is no account, no server of ours, no analytics and no ads. everything the app records about you is a file inside the app on your phone, and it stays there.
tiny yell, our web page that yells when you open a distracting app, is the one exception: to know when to yell it keeps a random id and when your chosen apps opened and closed, for a day. details below.
none of it is sent anywhere. deleting the app removes all of it; "erase history" in about & privacy clears the sessions without deleting the app.
nothing. no account, no email, no device identifiers, no crash or usage analytics, no advertising, no third-party trackers or sdks. the app's privacy manifest declares no collected data types and no tracking domains.
tiny social is a browser. when you open instagram, youtube or x you are talking to them directly, the same way any browser would, and their own privacy policies cover what you do there. we neither see nor keep any of that traffic. what the app does is filter what those pages are allowed to show you, on your device, before you see it.
only ever asked for when a site you opened asks first, and the prompt is the system's. tiny social never records anything itself.
the feedback button opens your own mail app with a message addressed to team@hetki.xyz. nothing is sent until you send it. if you do, we have your email address and whatever you chose to write, and we keep it only as long as it takes to answer you. we never add it to a mailing list.
tiny social isn't directed at children under 13 and, since it collects nothing, holds no data about anyone of any age.
tiny yell (yell.tinysocial.space) is a web page that yells at you while a distracting app is open on your phone. unlike the app, it needs a small server to pass the signal from your phone to your computer, so it keeps a little.
what it stores on our server:
what stays in your browser: your id and the character you picked, in the page's local storage. only the id is ever sent to us.
what it doesn't store: which app you opened, anything on your phone, your ip address, or anything you do in other tabs.
who processes it: cloudflare runs the server and holds the data above (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy). spoken lines may be written by claude, anthropic's ai; the page then sends anthropic the character you picked and the last few lines it said, and nothing about you (anthropic.com/legal/privacy).
why: only to make tiny yell work, so your computer knows when to yell and can show your pickups and time today. that's providing the service you set up (gdpr article 6(1)(b)). no analytics, no ads, nothing sold or shared.
deleting it: opens and closes delete themselves after a day. to delete everything now, remove the two shortcuts, clear the site's data in your browser, and write to team@hetki.xyz with your id (the part after /p/ in your shortcut links). we'll erase it.
under the gdpr and similar laws you can ask a company for a copy of your data, its correction, or its deletion. for the app we hold none, so there is nothing for us to send or delete: the copy on your phone is the only one, and it is yours to erase at any time. for tiny yell, write to team@hetki.xyz with your id and we'll send or erase what we hold for it. you can also complain to your data protection authority; in finland that's the data protection ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi).
if this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the version inside the app is updated in the same release.
