Funding & independence

Useful services, never the sale of attention

TootyToot intends to earn enough to remain reliable and independent without turning members or their data into a product.

Our commitments

  • No sale of member data or access to members.
  • No behavioural advertising or cross-site tracking.
  • No paid ranking in community features.
  • No dark patterns or loss of normal access for non-supporters.
  • Only the minimum payment records needed for reconciliation and support.

A measured roadmap

Voluntary support comes first. Later options may include opt-in taxi referrals, paid business profile tools, organisation administration and transparent event-ticket fees. Each phase must pass privacy, safety, demand and operational-readiness checks before launch.

Community posts, messages, lifts and ordinary membership remain community services rather than advertising inventory.
