# Privacy & Data Retention Policy
|
|
|
|
## Data Collection
|
|
|
|
TinyTorch collects **optional** information to build a community map and support learning:
|
|
|
|
- **Country** (optional) - For global visualization
|
|
- **Institution** (optional) - For cohort identification
|
|
- **Course Type** (optional) - For community insights
|
|
- **Experience Level** (optional) - For learning support
|
|
|
|
**We do NOT collect:**
|
|
- Personal names
|
|
- Email addresses (unless user provides)
|
|
- IP addresses
|
|
- Any personally identifiable information
|
|
|
|
## Anonymous Identification
|
|
|
|
All users are assigned an **anonymous UUID** when joining the community. This UUID:
|
|
- Cannot be linked to personal identity
|
|
- Is randomly generated
|
|
- Is stored locally in your project
|
|
|
|
## Data Storage
|
|
|
|
**Location**: `.tinytorch/` directory (project-local, not home directory)
|
|
|
|
**Files**:
|
|
- `.tinytorch/community/profile.json` - Your community profile
|
|
- `.tinytorch/config.json` - Configuration settings
|
|
- `.tito/benchmarks/` - Benchmark results
|
|
- `.tito/submissions/` - Submission files
|
|
|
|
**Privacy**: All data is stored locally in your project. You control what is shared.
|
|
|
|
## Data Retention
|
|
|
|
**Local Storage**: Data persists until you:
|
|
- Run `tito community leave` (removes profile)
|
|
- Delete `.tinytorch/` directory
|
|
- Remove specific files manually
|
|
|
|
**Website Sync** (when enabled):
|
|
- Data synced to website is retained according to website privacy policy
|
|
- You can request deletion via `tito community leave`
|
|
- Local data is always removed immediately
|
|
|
|
## User Rights
|
|
|
|
**Right to Access**: View your data with `tito community profile`
|
|
|
|
**Right to Update**: Update your data with `tito community update`
|
|
|
|
**Right to Deletion**: Remove your data with `tito community leave`
|
|
|
|
**Right to Opt-Out**: All data collection is optional. You can:
|
|
- Skip fields during `tito community join`
|
|
- Leave community anytime with `tito community leave`
|
|
- Never join community (all features work without joining)
|
|
|
|
## Consent
|
|
|
|
**Explicit Consent**: When joining, you'll see:
|
|
- What data is collected
|
|
- Why it's collected
|
|
- How it's stored
|
|
- Consent prompt before collection
|
|
|
|
**Withdrawal**: You can withdraw consent anytime by leaving the community.
|
|
|
|
## Website Integration
|
|
|
|
**Current**: Website integration is **disabled by default**. All data stays local.
|
|
|
|
**Future**: When website integration is enabled:
|
|
- You'll be notified before syncing
|
|
- You can opt-out of website sync
|
|
- Local data remains your primary copy
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
**Local Storage**: Files are stored as plain JSON in your project directory.
|
|
|
|
**Recommendations**:
|
|
- Don't commit `.tinytorch/` to public repositories if you include institution info
|
|
- Use `.gitignore` to exclude community data if desired
|
|
- Keep your project directory secure
|
|
|
|
## Compliance
|
|
|
|
**GDPR**: Our design aligns with GDPR principles:
|
|
- ✅ Data minimization (only optional fields)
|
|
- ✅ Purpose limitation (community map only)
|
|
- ✅ User consent (explicit opt-in)
|
|
- ✅ Right to deletion (`tito community leave`)
|
|
- ✅ Data portability (JSON files)
|
|
|
|
**FERPA**: For educational institutions:
|
|
- No student names collected
|
|
- Anonymous identifiers only
|
|
- Institution-level aggregation (not individual)
|
|
|
|
## Questions?
|
|
|
|
For privacy questions or concerns:
|
|
- Review your data: `tito community profile`
|
|
- Remove your data: `tito community leave`
|
|
- Check configuration: `.tinytorch/config.json`
