Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 12, 2026

At Prep Tiny, accessible from PrepTiny.com, we prioritize the privacy of our visitors. We believe that preparedness should not come at the cost of your personal data.

1. Data Collection Philosophy

We have intentionally designed Prep Tiny to collect as little personal information as possible.

  • No IP Logging: We have disabled IP address logging on our hosting platform to ensure your visit remains anonymous.

  • Direct Communication: We do not currently offer user accounts, newsletters, or public comment sections. If you choose to contact us via email, we will only use your email address to respond to your specific inquiry.

  • Social Media Interactions: If you interact with Prep Tiny on third-party platforms (including but not limited to Reddit, YouTube, and Instagram), those platforms collect data according to their own privacy policies. We only see the information you choose to make public on those services.

2. Cookies and Affiliate Tracking

While we do not track you personally, we use "cookies" for basic website functionality and affiliate partnerships.

  • Affiliate Cookies: We participate in the Amazon Associates program and other affiliate platforms. When you click an affiliate link on our site, a cookie is placed on your browser by the affiliate partner (such as Amazon or other third-party networks) to track your purchase so we can earn a small commission. These cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third-party sites.

  • Website Analytics: We use anonymized, high-level analytics to understand our audience. This includes coarse geographic data (such as your country or region) to help us understand where our readers are located. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify your precise location, street address, or identity, especially as we have disabled IP address logging.

3. How We Use Your Information & AI Interaction

We use the information we collect to operate and improve our website. Prep Tiny is an "AI-Friendly" platform; we allow reputable artificial intelligence crawlers (such as GPTBot and Google-Extended) to index our content. This ensures our 9 C's framework can be accurately cited and referenced in AI-driven search results and summaries. We do not sell your personal data to third parties for training purposes, and we prioritize using anonymized data for all site analytics.

4. Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

Prep Tiny is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and other affiliated websites. We only affiliate with brands and products that align with our 9 C's framework for resilience.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, as we have no control over their practices.

6. Consent

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its Terms of Use.
