⚠ Not a medical device. TinyTell is intended for caregiver convenience only. It is not designed for medical diagnosis, treatment, or clinical decision-making. If your baby is in distress or you have concerns about their health, contact your pediatrician or emergency services.
This policy describes what data TinyTell collects, how it is processed, and how long it is kept. TinyTell is operated by Hafs Ibrahim as an independent developer.
When you tap the analyze button, TinyTell records a short audio sample of the cry and transmits it to a private inference server for classification. No device identifiers or usage analytics are collected.
TinyTell requires an account for authentication and access management. We collect your email address when you sign up (either directly or via Google OAuth). Email addresses are used solely for authentication, account approval, and essential service communications. We do not use your email for tracking, marketing, or any other purpose without your explicit consent. You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us at the address below.
Audio is sent over an encrypted connection to a private inference server operated by the developer (Hafs Ibrahim). The server runs a machine learning model to classify the cry into one of the supported categories. No third-party AI services, no cloud LLM providers, and no analytics vendors have access to your audio.
After classification, the audio file is discarded immediately from the server. It is not stored, archived, logged, or used to train models. The server retains only ephemeral classification results long enough to return them to your app.
Your insight history — the classification results plus timestamps — is stored only on your iPhone. There is no server-side history, no cross-device sync, and no backup unless you have iCloud Drive enabled at the iOS level. You can clear all local history at any time from the app's Settings screen.
TinyTell is intended for use by caregivers (adults) to analyze sounds from infants. Audio samples may include the voices of children under 13. We do not knowingly collect identifying information about any child. Audio samples are transient (discarded after inference) and are never linked to a name, account, profile, or other identifier. If you believe an audio sample containing identifying information about a child was sent in error, email the address below and we will confirm it has been discarded.
TinyTell does not share data with any third party. The only infrastructure involved is Apple's (App Store delivery, iOS device runtime, and iCloud if you have iOS-level backup enabled) and the developer's own private inference server. No advertising networks, no analytics SDKs, no crash-reporting vendors, and no marketing tools are integrated.
Because the audio you send is discarded immediately, there is typically little personal data to request, export, or delete from our side. You may at any time:
