Privacy Notice

Last updated: May 27, 2026

This Privacy Notice describes how Luvu, Inc. (“Luvu,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, sells, shares, licenses, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with our websites, mobile applications, games, products, services, and any other online or offline offerings that link to this Privacy Notice, including Tiny Stage or TinyStage (“Tiny Stage”).

Tiny Stage is a voice acting and improv game where users may create, upload, perform, submit, rate, and interact with voice recordings and related content. This Privacy Notice explains how we process personal information in connection with Tiny Stage and our other services.

This Privacy Notice does not apply to personal information we process about job applicants, employees, contractors, or other employment-related individuals, or to information that is not subject to applicable data protection laws, such as deidentified information or publicly available information where excluded by law. This Privacy Notice is not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations beyond those provided by applicable law.

Important Notice About Tiny Stage Voice Recordings

Tiny Stage is a game, but submitted voice recordings may also be used commercially. When you create, upload, submit, or otherwise provide voice recordings, performances, audio files, related content, or associated metadata through Tiny Stage, Luvu may use, analyze, review, moderate, transcribe, annotate, package, sell, share, license, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise provide those recordings and related data to third-party clients, including companies developing, training, evaluating, testing, improving, or commercializing artificial intelligence systems, machine learning models, speech technologies, voice technologies, moderation systems, transcription systems, synthetic media systems, analytics tools, or other products and services.

Some users may be eligible for in-app rewards, credits, coins, prizes, gift cards, promotional incentives, cash-like rewards, cash-equivalent rewards, or other benefits. However, Tiny Stage is not a one-to-one marketplace where each submission is guaranteed to be purchased or compensated. Luvu does not guarantee that any user will receive payment or rewards for any particular recording, submission, rating, performance, account activity, or use of Tiny Stage, except as expressly stated in the applicable reward, promotion, or program terms.

By using Tiny Stage and submitting voice recordings or related content, you acknowledge that your submissions may be commercially used and may be disclosed, sold, licensed, sublicensed, or otherwise made available to third-party clients as described in this Privacy Notice, our Terms of Service, and any applicable consent or submission flow presented to you.

Our Role in Processing Personal Information

Data protection laws sometimes distinguish between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal information. A processor, sometimes called a service provider, processes personal information on behalf of a controller and according to that controller’s instructions.

This Privacy Notice describes our privacy practices where Luvu acts as a controller of personal information. In some circumstances, we may process personal information on behalf of a third-party client, business customer, vendor, or other partner. In those circumstances, this Privacy Notice may not fully describe how that third party processes personal information, and you should review the privacy notice of the relevant third party.

Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with us and our services. We may collect personal information directly from you, automatically when you use our services, from other users, and from third parties.

Account and Contact Information

We may collect account and contact information, including:

We use this information to create, authenticate, operate, maintain, and secure your account; provide our services; communicate with you; provide customer support; verify eligibility; administer rewards or promotions; enforce our terms; prevent fraud and abuse; and comply with legal obligations.

Tiny Stage Voice Recordings and Submitted Content

Tiny Stage allows users to create, upload, perform, submit, rate, and interact with voice acting, improv, and other audio-based content. We may collect and process:

We may use Tiny Stage voice recordings and submitted content to:

Commercial Use and Third-Party Client Licensing of Voice Recordings

Luvu may sell, share, disclose, license, sublicense, provide access to, transfer, or otherwise make available Tiny Stage voice recordings, submitted content, associated metadata, transcripts, annotations, labels, quality scores, or derived datasets to third-party clients. These third-party clients may include artificial intelligence companies, research organizations, technology companies, speech technology providers, model developers, data platforms, product developers, and other commercial or institutional clients.

Third-party clients may use the information we provide for purposes that may include:

We may impose contractual restrictions on third-party clients, including restrictions on unauthorized redistribution, misuse, or unlawful processing of recordings and related data. However, once recordings, submitted content, or related information have been provided to third-party clients, Luvu may not be able to retrieve, delete, remove, audit, or control all copies, derivative uses, trained model effects, outputs, backups, logs, or internal records, except where required by law or contract.

Rewards, Incentives, and Payment-Related Information

Some users may have the opportunity to receive in-app rewards, credits, coins, prizes, promotional incentives, gift cards, cash-like rewards, cash-equivalent rewards, or other benefits. We may collect information necessary to administer those programs, including:

We may use third-party providers to process payments, payouts, rewards, gift cards, tax forms, identity verification, fraud checks, or related transactions. Those providers may process your personal information according to their own privacy notices and terms.

Rewards are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in applicable program terms. Participation in Tiny Stage does not create an employment, contractor, agency, partnership, or marketplace seller relationship with Luvu unless expressly agreed in a separate written agreement.

Communications, Feedback, and Support Information

We may collect information when you contact us, submit feedback, participate in surveys, communicate with customer support, report content, or otherwise interact with us, including:

We use this information to respond to you, provide support, investigate issues, improve our products and services, enforce our policies, and maintain records of our communications.

Usage, Device, and Online Activity Information

We and our service providers may automatically collect information about how you access and use our services, including through cookies, pixels, SDKs, APIs, local storage, device identifiers, logs, and similar technologies. This information may include:

We use this information to provide, secure, personalize, analyze, improve, and market our services; understand user behavior; measure advertising and marketing performance; prevent fraud; debug and improve app performance; and support attribution, analytics, and product development.

Information From Other Sources

We may receive personal information from other sources, including:

Sensitive Personal Information and Biometric Information

Voice recordings may reveal sensitive personal information, including information about a person’s voice, language, accent, emotions, age range, background environment, health, identity, or other characteristics. Recordings may also contain information that you or others choose to say during a performance.

We do not want users to submit recordings containing sensitive personal information unless specifically requested by the applicable prompt or feature and permitted by our policies. You should not submit personal information about another person without their permission.

Some laws treat certain biometric information as sensitive or subject to special rules. Depending on how our systems are configured, we may process voice characteristics, speaker features, audio embeddings, or similar technical signals for purposes such as quality assurance, duplicate detection, fraud prevention, moderation, speaker separation, identity verification, personalization, safety, or dataset preparation. If and where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice and obtain any required consent before collecting or processing biometric identifiers or biometric information, such as voiceprints.

Unless expressly stated in a separate consent or policy, we do not use Tiny Stage voice recordings to authenticate your identity through a biometric voiceprint. If we introduce features that use biometric identifiers or biometric information in a way that requires additional notice or consent, we will provide that notice and obtain consent where required.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information in the following ways:

Third-Party Clients and Business Customers

We may disclose, sell, share, license, sublicense, provide access to, transfer, or otherwise make available Tiny Stage voice recordings, submitted content, transcripts, annotations, labels, metadata, quality scores, datasets, or derived data to third-party clients and business customers for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

Depending on applicable law, this may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, even if our agreements are structured as a license, sublicense, data access agreement, dataset transaction, or other commercial arrangement.

Service Providers and Contractors

We may disclose personal information to service providers, contractors, vendors, and other third parties that perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, storage, analytics, moderation, transcription, translation, annotation, quality assurance, customer support, payment processing, reward fulfillment, tax compliance, identity verification, security, fraud prevention, marketing, advertising, attribution, app analytics, communications, and legal or accounting services.

Advertising, Analytics, and Marketing Partners

We may disclose personal information to advertising, analytics, attribution, measurement, and marketing partners. These partners may collect information through cookies, pixels, SDKs, APIs, device identifiers, and similar technologies to help us measure marketing performance, attribute installs and conversions, deliver ads, personalize content, conduct analytics, and improve our services.

Depending on your location and applicable law, these disclosures may constitute “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising or “targeted advertising.”

Other Users and Public Features

If you use social, competitive, interactive, leaderboard, battle, profile, commenting, voting, or sharing features, some information may be visible to other users or the public, depending on your settings and the feature. This may include your username, display name, avatar, profile information, recordings, performances, rankings, ratings, votes, comments, scores, wins, losses, badges, rewards, or other gameplay information.

Do not submit or post information that you do not want other users or the public to see.

Business Transactions

We may disclose, transfer, or assign personal information in connection with an actual or potential merger, acquisition, financing, investment, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, corporate transaction, or similar event.

Legal, Safety, and Compliance Purposes

We may disclose personal information to law enforcement, regulators, courts, legal advisors, or other parties when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to:

With Your Consent or Direction

We may disclose personal information with your consent, at your direction, or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time of collection.

Your Choices

Account and Profile Choices

You may be able to access, update, or delete certain account or profile information through your account settings. Some information may not be editable through the app and may require contacting us.

Voice Recording Submission Choices

You can choose not to submit voice recordings or other content through Tiny Stage. If you do not submit recordings, some features may not be available to you.

If you submit a recording, Luvu may process, use, disclose, sell, share, license, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize that recording and related information as described in this Privacy Notice, our Terms of Service, and any applicable consent or submission flow.

Withdrawal of Consent and Deletion Requests

Where we rely on consent to process personal information, you may withdraw that consent as permitted by law. However, withdrawing consent may not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal, processing based on other legal grounds, or information already disclosed, sold, shared, licensed, sublicensed, provided to, or used by third-party clients, except where required by law or contract.

We may be unable to delete or retrieve recordings or related data that have already been provided to third-party clients, incorporated into datasets, used for model training or evaluation, stored in backups, reflected in logs, or otherwise processed in ways that cannot reasonably be reversed. We will honor deletion, access, correction, opt-out, and other privacy requests where required by applicable law.

Communications Preferences

You may opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in those emails. You may opt out of promotional text messages by following the instructions provided in the message. You may adjust push notification settings through your device settings or app settings. You may still receive service-related, transactional, security, legal, or account communications.

Cookies, SDKs, and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, SDKs, APIs, local storage, and similar technologies for authentication, security, analytics, personalization, advertising, attribution, and performance measurement.

Where required, we provide choices for certain cookies or similar technologies. You may also be able to adjust your browser or device settings to limit certain tracking technologies. These settings may affect the functionality of our services.

Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Signals

Where required by applicable law, we honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for applicable opt-outs. Because some opt-out signals are browser- or device-specific, you may need to enable them on each browser or device you use.

Children’s Privacy

Our services, including Tiny Stage, are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If you are under 18, you may not use Tiny Stage or submit voice recordings or other content to us.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from an individual under 18, we will take steps to delete that information as required by law. Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided us personal information may contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. These safeguards may include encryption in transit, encryption at rest, access controls, authentication controls, least-privilege access, monitoring, secure storage, content validation, security review, and administrative safeguards.

No method of transmission, storage, or processing is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that personal information will be secure in all circumstances.

Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, including to provide and improve our services, operate Tiny Stage, administer accounts and rewards, maintain datasets, support third-party client licensing, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect safety and security, and maintain business records.

Voice recordings, submitted content, transcripts, annotations, labels, metadata, datasets, and related records may be retained for extended periods where reasonably necessary for commercial licensing, dataset integrity, legal compliance, fraud prevention, quality assurance, auditability, client obligations, backup, dispute resolution, or other legitimate business purposes.

When retention is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, deidentify, aggregate, or otherwise process information in accordance with applicable law.

Third-Party Websites, Platforms, and Services

Our services may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, app stores, payment providers, reward providers, social networks, or other services. This Privacy Notice does not apply to the privacy practices of third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy notices and terms.

These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
