Privacy Policy

What we store, why, and what we never collect. Pair with Permissions for grant language.

1. Controller

Yearnkeep operates yearnkeep.com and the Yearnkeep iOS app. Contact: support@yearnkeep.com

2. On your device (app)

• Story progress, heat, captions, accessibility preferences
• Keepsakes encountered
• Consent versions and timestamps you accepted
• Optional secure storage of short-lived content tokens after purchase verification

3. Website

• If you join the waitlist: email address you submit (for launch notices only until you opt out)
• If you save the permissions acknowledgment: a local browser record (localStorage) of policy version and time — not sent to a server until a backend is wired
• Standard hosting logs (IP, user agent) from the CDN/host as needed for security

4. Optional metrics (app)

Default off. If enabled: privacy-safe events without message bodies, phone numbers, names, audio, or purchase tokens.

5. Optional carrier SMS & one-ring

Only after the play opt-in at yearnkeep.com/play/: if you enroll SMS and/or one-ring novelty, we may store your phone number (encrypted server-side when the program is live) for (a) pre-approved story SMS templates and/or (b) short hang-up signals (~3–5 seconds) so your phone typically rings once. No telephone voice conversation. Not marketing. STOP/HELP for SMS; Support or cleared consent for one-ring. Quiet hours via timezone (not GPS).

6. Purchases

Apple processes payment. We verify signed transactions server-side to unlock the complete story pack. We do not store full card numbers.

7. What we do not do

• Sell personal data for unrelated marketing
• Read device contacts, microphone, or camera
• Generate character dialogue with a live AI model at runtime
• Email you as Julian or any character

8. Retention & deletion

Local app data can be erased in Settings. Waitlist email removal: contact Support. Server SMS / one-ring consent ends on STOP (SMS), Support revoke, or clearing site opt-in data.

9. Children

Not directed to children under 16.

10. Changes

Material changes will update the policy version shown in onboarding.
