Privacy Policy
Effective July 3, 2026
1. Who we are
TIPT Social ("TIPT", "we", "us") operates tipt.social. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Data we collect on this site
Right now this site is a landing page. The only personal data we collect from visitors is the email address you enter into the "Sign up for more information" form. We use it to notify you when TIPT opens for sign-ups. We do not sell it, share it, or use it for advertising.
3. Data we will collect when TIPT opens
Once the full app is live, we will additionally collect:
- Account identity: name, email, phone, profile photo, and a handle. If you sign in via Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Microsoft, we receive this from that provider with your consent.
- Profile info you add yourself: city, state, profession, venue, bio, payment handles you choose to publish.
- Social graph data: who you connect to on TIPT.
- Activity data: sign-in times, connections you interact with, tips you initiate, messages you send.
- Technical data: IP address, browser user-agent, and access timestamps used to operate and secure the service.
4. What we do NOT collect
- We do not scrape or harvest data about people who are not TIPT users.
- We do not buy contact-enrichment data from third-party data brokers.
- We do not store passwords from other providers; OAuth handles that.
5. How we share your data
We do not sell your personal data. We share only with service providers that help operate TIPT (cloud hosting via Microsoft Azure, transactional email, error monitoring), under contractual confidentiality. We will disclose data when required by valid legal process.
6. Data retention
We keep your data as long as your account is active. If you unsubscribe from the launch list or delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except as required by law.
7. Your rights
You can access, correct, export, or delete your data at any time by emailing privacy@tipt.social. If you are in the EU/UK, California, or another jurisdiction with data-protection rights, those rights apply to you and we will honor them.
8. Children
TIPT is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has registered, contact us and we will remove the account.
9. Contact
