Privacy Policy
Welcome to The Tiny Twig:
The Tiny Twig has created this Privacy Policy in order to set forth the principles governing our
information-gathering and dissemination practices, including but not limited to such activities as
forums, chat rooms, personal profile pages, product reviews, article commentary, blogs, RSS
feeds and newsletters, among other offerings. The Tiny Twig has a strong commitment to the privacy
of our users. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through
The Tiny Twig and not to information collected offline or to information you may provide to any
third-party sites to which The Tiny Twig may link, except as expressly provided herein.
Information We Collect:
There are two kinds of information that The Tiny Twig can obtain about you: “Anonymous
Information” and “Personally Identifiable Information.”
“Anonymous Information” consists of non-personally-identifiable data, such as your Internet
Protocol (“IP”) address or domain, or information about your usage on The Tiny Twig that is used for
administrative purposes only. For example, an IP address is a unique string of numbers that is
assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify
your computer by its IP address. We may collect our users’ IP addresses for such purposes as to
help diagnose problems with our servers and to report aggregate information to our advertisers,
corporate affiliates and consultants, and to third parties that perform particular services on our
behalf. We may also use the information linked to IP addresses to ban users who violate our Terms and
Conditions of use.
“Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that personally identifies you, such as
your name, street address, email address, or telephone number. We collect such information
when, for example, you enter a contest, subscribe to our email newsletter, and participate in other
interactive online activities such as forums.
When we collect Personally Identifiable Information from you, you will have the opportunity to
“opt in” to receive email or other digital communications from us and/or our business partners.
If you have submitted your personal information to The Tiny Twig, you may correct, amend or delete
the Personally Identifiable Information maintained on file about you if it is incorrect.
In all cases, we will only use your information as permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Privacy Policy, however, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information
to others if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is
necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights and
property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or (d) protect the personal
safety or property of our users or the public. Please note that we may not provide you with notice
prior to disclosure in such cases.
Use of “Cookies”:
The Tiny Twig uses “cookies” – data that is transferred from The Tiny Twig to your hard drive for record-
keeping purposes. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your
password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit The Tiny Twig. Some of the
advertisements appearing on The Tiny Twig are delivered by a third-party ad network. In the course of
serving advertisements, the ad network may place or recognize a
unique “cookie” in your browser’s cache, and may use Anonymous Information (including
date/time of the banner ad displayed, the ad that was displayed and the IP address of the visitor)
about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and
services of interest to you and to collect statistical information.
Disclosure of Information through Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or
businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer information. In such transactions, user information
may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the event that a portion or all of The Tiny Twig’s
assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information (including your email
address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets.
Third Party Web Sites:
The Tiny Twig contains links to third-party Web sites not owned or controlled by The Tiny Twig.
The Tiny Twig is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party Web sites.
Inclusion of any linked Web site on The Tiny Twig does not imply or express an approval or
endorsement of the linked Web site by us, or of any of the content, opinions, products or services
provided on these Web sites. Even if an affiliation exists between The Tiny Twig and a third-party
Web site, we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own
independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a Web site via a link
from one of our Sites, we encourage you to consult that Web site’s privacy policy before
providing any personal information, and whenever interacting with any such Web site.
Public Forums:
The Tiny Twig may make chat rooms, forums, blogs, article commenting, and personal profile pages
available to users. Please remember that any such information that you may choose to provide in
these areas becomes accessible to the public, and also becomes the property of The Tiny Twig in
accordance with our Terms and Conditions, and we may use such information in any way that
we see fit. Consequently, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal
information or to upload material of any kind.
Security:
The Tiny Twig has reasonable security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of
the information under our control. Security of information communicated by or to us over the
Internet is of utmost concern to us; however, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that your email, like most, if not all, unencrypted
Internet communications, may potentially be accessed and viewed by other Internet users,
without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your
privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider
confidential. While we strive to protect your personal information, The Tiny Twig cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Once we receive your transmission,
we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the
nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived.
Policy Regarding Minors:
Children should always ask parents before providing any personal information online. No
information should be submitted to or posted on The Tiny Twig by any minor (a person under 18
years of age) without the consent of a parent or guardian. Unless otherwise disclosed during
collection, we do not knowingly provide any Personally Identifiable Information about minors,
regardless of its source, nor is this information knowingly used by The Tiny Twig for any marketing
or promotional purposes. Minors are not eligible to participate in contests.
The Tiny Twig abides by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. In the event that we learn that
we have collected information from any child under the age of 13 without verification of parental
consent, we will delete this information from our database as quickly as reasonably possible. If
you believe that any Site has collected any information about anyone under 13, please contact
The Tiny Twig’s Site Administrator via email at thetinytwig@gmail.com.
