TinyTales is a small, dad-run project. We collect the minimum we need to turn your photos into a coloring book, and we treat that material like it belongs to you — because it does.
Your account email and name, the photos you upload, the books and pages those photos become, and basic usage records (sign-in times, error logs) so we can keep the service running.
If you connect Google Photos, we store the minimum token pair needed to reopen Google’s picker and only receive the photos you explicitly choose there. Those picked photos are processed exactly like device uploads, and you can revoke the connection any time from your Account page or from Google Account → Security.
That’s it. We don’t sell your data. We don’t train anyone else’s model on your photos. We don’t run ads against it.
Original photos are deleted the second your coloring page is ready. Typically that’s within a minute of upload. After that, only the generated coloring page remains — the source material is gone from our storage entirely.
Two edge cases worth mentioning: if a generation fails, we keep the original so we can retry. You can delete any failed upload from your dashboard whenever you like. And if you want your whole account removed, email hello@tinytaleslab.com — a person will answer and take care of it.
Only the subprocessors strictly required to generate and deliver your book: our cloud infrastructure (Cloudflare), our image-generation provider (for the coloring-page transform), our email sender, and our print-on-demand partner when you order a physical copy. None of them retain your photos beyond what’s needed to do their job.
TinyTales is built for adults to make books for kids, not for kids to use directly. Accounts are 18+. Please don’t upload photos of children without the permission of their parent or guardian.
If we change anything material, we’ll update the dateline at the top of this page and email active subscribers. Questions? hello@tinytaleslab.com.
