Yoked, Inc. ("we", "us") operates the Yoked mobile application (the "App"). This
Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we share it
with, and the rights you have. By using the App you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
We collect the minimum data needed to run a two-person accountability pact:
Account data. Your name, email address, authentication provider (Apple or Google), and profile photo (if provided).
Pact data. Your partner, weekly reading goal, stakes/wager, timezone, and check-in history.
Photos. The front-camera and back-camera photos you take when you check in, plus optional written reflections and comments.
Device data. Anonymous crash logs and basic diagnostics (device model, OS version, app version). We do not collect precise location or advertising identifiers.
2. Photos — how they're handled
Photos are a core part of the App, so this section deserves special attention.
Camera consent. The App only accesses your camera after you grant permission through your device's standard OS prompt. You can revoke this permission at any time in your device settings.
Who sees your photos. Photos are shared only with the partner in your pact. They are not public, not posted to a feed, not indexed by search engines, and not used for advertising, model training, or any purpose outside your pact.
Where they live. Photos are stored in encrypted object storage operated by our infrastructure provider, Supabase. Access is granted through short-lived signed URLs (roughly one hour) so the images cannot be linked to publicly.
Your content is yours. You retain all rights to the photos you upload. You grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display them to your partner solely to operate the App. If you delete a photo or your account, we delete the underlying file.
Your responsibilities. You agree not to upload photos that are unlawful, that contain other people without their consent, that depict minors in unsafe ways, or that infringe someone else's rights. We may remove content that violates these terms.
3. How we use your data
We use the data above only to:
Operate the pact — pair you with your partner, deliver check-ins, calculate streaks, send reminders.
Keep the App working — diagnose crashes, prevent abuse, maintain security.
Communicate with you — respond to support requests and notify you of important changes.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for third-party advertising.
4. Sharing with third parties
We share limited data only with service providers who help us run the App, under contracts that require them to protect your data:
Supabase — hosts our database, authentication, and photo storage.
Apple / Google — handle sign-in and, where applicable, in-app subscription billing.
Expo — provides the crash-reporting and over-the-air update infrastructure.
We may also disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
5. Data retention
We keep your account and pact data as long as your account is active. Check-in photos
older than 365 days are automatically pruned unless you archive them. When you delete
your account, we delete or anonymize your data within 30 days, except where we are
required to keep it for legal or accounting reasons.
6. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can:
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Ask us to correct or delete your data.
Delete your account directly from Settings → Delete account.
Object to specific processing (e.g. reminders) by disabling notifications.
Residents of the EEA/UK have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to lodge
a complaint with your local data-protection authority. California residents have rights
under CCPA, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal
information — we do not sell personal information.
7. Children
Yoked is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not
knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data,
please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Signed URLs restrict photo access. We
follow reasonable industry practices to protect your data, but no system is perfectly
secure — please help us by keeping your device and account credentials safe.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted in
the App. The "Effective" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version.
