Privacy Policy

Yevo is made by Yevo LLC (“Yevo”, “we”, “us”). This policy covers the Yevo app for iPhone, its share extension, and yevo.ai, including the web app at yevo.ai/app. Questions go to support@yevo.ai.

Your account

Your email address, your name if you give it, and the identifier from the way you sign in: Sign in with Apple, Google, or on the web a one-time link sent to your email. If you use Apple's Hide My Email, we only get the relay address Apple gives us.

Your answers and settings

Your coaching style, onboarding answers (such as interests, how you heard about Yevo and how many videos you bookmark), daily goal, time zone, appearance, and whether nudges are on.

The videos you save

The link to each video you share to Yevo, the category and priority you pick, and the note you add. To write your plan we fetch the public post and store, with your save: its caption, a transcript of what is said in it, its title, the creator's handle, its length and its thumbnail image. To make the transcript, our server may fetch the video or its audio track for a moment and pass it to Google, or ask one of the services below for the transcript. We do not keep the video file.

What Yevo writes for you

Summaries, plans and their steps, courses and lessons, and Yevo's replies in chat. Courses also store the web pages the research used, which you see listed under each lesson.

What you do

Plans you start, steps you schedule and finish, lessons and courses you complete, and achievements. Your streak, XP and level are calculated from these. We also keep a short activity record, such as when you open the app and what you told Yevo during onboarding, so Yevo can remember your progress when he replies, and a technical record of each summary or course we generate for you (which model ran, how long it took and what it cost us) so we can keep quality up and spot runaway costs.

Notes, messages and photos

Notes you add to a save, the messages you send Yevo (typed or dictated, see “Talking to Yevo”), and photos or camera pictures you attach to a chat, for example to ask whether something looks right or to show a finished step. Photos are stored privately with your account; only you and Yevo's AI provider (to answer you) see them.

Calendar and reminders

If you allow calendar access, Yevo adds the steps you schedule to your calendar. It asks for write-only access, so it cannot read your other events. Reminders are notifications scheduled on your iPhone. The time you pick for a step is stored with that step so it stays in sync across your devices. Nothing else from your calendar reaches us.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, we store your device's push token to send reminders, “your plan is ready” alerts and nudges. A nudge is a message from Yevo when a step is overdue or saves sit untouched, at most once a day. Turn nudges off in Profile, or all notifications in iOS Settings.

Ad attribution, and the tracking prompt

The app includes the TikTok Business SDK, which we use to learn which ads bring people to Yevo. iOS asks once whether you allow tracking, and the answer decides what TikTok gets.

Before you answer, and if you say no: the SDK sends app events that are not tied to you by name, such as installing the app, opening it and coming back to it, together with device and app details such as model, OS version and IP address. Nothing that names or identifies you is sent. Attribution then relies on Apple's SKAdNetwork, which only gives us totals.

Only if you allow tracking: the SDK also sends your device's advertising identifier, and your account identifier, name and email, each scrambled (hashed) on your phone before it is sent, so your sign-up, trial and subscription events can be matched to the ad you came from. If you never answer, or you say no, none of that is sent. You can change your mind in iOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Tracking.

We also switched off the SDK's “enhanced data postback”, a feature TikTok can otherwise turn on from its own servers that reads the text on the screen, including anything typed into the chat field. The only crash reports we get are the ones Apple passes on when you have chosen to share analytics with app developers. There is no other analytics or crash reporting SDK in the app.

The website

yevo.ai uses no advertising or analytics cookies. Your appearance choice is stored in your browser. Signing in to the web app sets the cookies needed to keep you signed in. If you join a waitlist we store the email you give us. Our host keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and browser) for security.

Payments

Apple handles payment; we never see your card. RevenueCat tells us your subscription status (plan, trial, renewal and expiry dates), and our server asks RevenueCat about your account before writing a course, because courses need a subscription.

A course is not written from the video alone. While writing one, Yevo searches the web, so the lessons can use current tool names, prices, versions and setup steps instead of whatever was true when the video was posted. The searches are about the subject of the course, not about you: no part of your account, your notes or your messages is used as a search term.

The pages the research used are saved with the course and listed under each lesson, so you can check any claim at its source. Web pages can still be wrong or out of date, which is why the lessons name them rather than asking you to take Yevo's word for it.

You can type to Yevo, or hold the microphone button and dictate. Yevo asks for the microphone and speech recognition the first time you tap that button, never before. Your speech is turned into text by Apple's speech recognition, and where that happens depends on your language:

• Usually, on your iPhone. If your iPhone can recognise speech in your language on the device, Yevo requires it to. The audio never leaves your phone.
• Otherwise, by Apple. If your iPhone cannot recognise your language on the device, the audio is sent to Apple to be turned into text, and Apple handles it under Apple's privacy policy. The app tells you when this is the case, in the line under Yevo while you hold the button. That audio goes to Apple, not to us.

Either way, Yevo never receives or stores a recording of your voice. When you let go, the text is sent to us and handled exactly like a message you typed (see Anthropic below). If you slide away to cancel, nothing is sent at all. Yevo does not talk back out loud in this release: his replies are written, and no audio of him is generated or sent anywhere.

• To run Yevo: fetch and read the videos you save, write your summaries, plans, courses and replies, sync everything between the app and the web, and remind and nudge you.
• To keep it working and make it better: fix bugs and crashes, and review the quality and cost of what Yevo writes.
• To measure which ads bring people to Yevo, as described above.
• To answer you when you contact us, keep accounts secure, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your saves, notes, messages or photos for advertising.

These companies handle data to run parts of Yevo. Each gets what its job needs:

• Anthropic (Claude) writes summaries, plans, steps, courses, lessons and chat replies. It receives the caption and transcript of a save, your notes, your messages (typed or dictated), any photo you send in chat, your recent activity record and the plan context they relate to. When a course is written, Anthropic's web search runs the topic searches described above.
• Google (Gemini API) makes the transcripts of the videos you save. For Instagram and TikTok it receives the video or its audio track; for YouTube it receives the link and reads the video itself. It returns what is said in the video and, when a post has no usable title, suggests one. Google never receives your voice or anything you dictate to Yevo. Separately, if you sign in with Google, Google handles that sign-in.
• Apify fetches public Instagram and TikTok posts for the links you save, to get the caption, thumbnail, subtitles where they exist, and the media to transcribe.
• ScrapeCreators is the second service we try for Instagram links, when Apify cannot read the post. It receives the link and returns the transcript.
• Supabase hosts our database, file storage, server functions and sign-in. Your account and everything above are stored there.
• RevenueCat manages subscription status, and tells our server whether your account may create a course.
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple, App Store payments, push notifications, speech recognition when it cannot run on your iPhone, and the crash reports described above.
• TikTok receives the app events described above for ad attribution.
• Vercel hosts yevo.ai.

YouTube links are read through YouTube's own public page information and captions. We also share information if the law requires it, to protect the safety or rights of people or of Yevo, or as part of a merger or sale of the business, in which case this policy continues to apply to your data.

We keep your data while your account exists. Delete a save and its plan, steps, notes and course are deleted with it. Waitlist emails are kept until we have sent the announcement, or until you ask us to remove yours. What happens when you delete your account is below.

In the app, open Profile and tap Delete account. On the web, sign in, open Profile and choose Delete account. This deletes your account and everything in it: your profile, saves, plans, steps, notes, courses and lessons, chats and messages, achievements, activity record, reminder tokens, the photos you sent Yevo, the thumbnails of your saves, and your sign-in record itself. It cannot be undone, and there is nothing left for us to look up afterwards. Backups roll over and are gone within 30 days.

You can also email support@yevo.ai from the address on your account and we will do it for you. Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription; cancel it in your iPhone's Settings under your name, then Subscriptions.

Data is encrypted in transit. Your rows in our database can only be read by your own account, and photos sit in private storage. No system is perfectly secure, so we also keep what we collect to what Yevo needs.

Yevo is not for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has given us personal information, email support@yevo.ai and we will delete it.

You can ask to know what personal information we have about you, to get a copy, to correct it and to delete it, and you will not be treated differently for asking. We do not sell personal information. Sending app events to TikTok for ad measurement may count as “sharing” under California law; you can opt out by turning off Allow Apps to Request to Track in iOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Tracking, or by emailing support@yevo.ai. You can use an authorized agent; we will verify requests by confirming control of the account email.

Yevo LLC is the controller of your data. We rely on our contract with you to run Yevo, on your consent for tracking, calendar access, notifications, the microphone and speech recognition, and photos (which you can withdraw at any time in iOS Settings or the app), on legitimate interests for security and improving Yevo, and on legal obligations where they apply. You can access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our use of your data, and take a copy with you. Our providers are mostly in the United States; transfers rely on standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard. You can complain to your local data protection authority, and we would like the chance to help first at support@yevo.ai.

When we change this policy we update the date at the top. If a change matters, we tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.

Yevo LLC, support@yevo.ai.
