Last updated: 2026-10-28

1. Introduction

Make Tiny Desk AI ("we", "us", or "our", accessible at https://maketinydeskai.com) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, store, and process your personal information when you use our website, upload portrait photos, generate AI videos, and manage your credits.

By accessing our website or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and accepted the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

  1. Account Details — When you sign in or create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication identifiers through Google OAuth or magic link authentication.
  2. Uploaded Portrait Photos — To generate a Tiny Desk style video, you upload a portrait photo (JPG, PNG, or WebP format, up to 15MB).
  3. Generated Videos — We temporarily host and deliver the resulting vertical (9:16) MP4 video files generated by our AI pipeline.
  4. Credit & Billing Records — We record your purchased credit packs, deductions per generation, and refund records. Payment card data is processed directly by our PCI-compliant payment processors (such as Waffo or PayPal) and is never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
  5. Technical Logs & Telemetry — We log standard operational data (IP address, browser type, timestamps, error codes) strictly necessary for security, rate limiting, and troubleshooting.

3. How We Process and Safeguard Your Data

  • AI Model Pipeline — Your uploaded photo is securely transmitted to dedicated AI inference processing nodes solely to generate your requested Tiny Desk video.
  • Secure Cloud Storage — Uploaded photos and generated MP4 outputs are stored in encrypted Cloudflare R2 object storage to enable preview playback and direct MP4 downloads.
  • No Model Training on User Photos — We do not use your personal portrait uploads or generated videos to train, fine-tune, or improve public foundation AI models without your express consent.
  • Likeness Protection — You must confirm that any photo you upload represents yourself or an adult who has granted you explicit written authorization. Uploads of minors, non-consenting individuals, or unauthorized public figures are strictly prohibited.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We utilize trusted enterprise infrastructure providers to deliver our service:

  • Cloudflare — Edge routing, DNS, Workers compute, and R2 object storage.
  • AI Processing Inference — Secure API nodes that synthesize video frames based on your uploaded portrait.
  • Payment Processors — Secure, PCI-compliant payment providers handling checkout transactions.
  • Analytics — Aggregated, privacy-conscious analytics (Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity) to measure site traffic and error states.

5. Your Data Rights & Deletion Requests

You can review your account profile and credit history through Account Settings. If you wish to permanently delete your account, uploaded portraits, or generated video records, email us directly at support@maketinydeskai.com. We process verified deletion requests promptly.
