Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 20, 2026
Summary: We collect only the data you choose to share. We never sell your data. You can export or delete everything at any time.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials. If you sign in with LinkedIn, Facebook, Apple, or other providers, we receive your name and email from those services.
Contact Data
When you choose to import contacts, we collect the contact information you select, which may include:
- Names, phone numbers, and email addresses
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Company names and job titles
- Contact photos
- Relationship labels (e.g., "mother", "spouse")
You choose which contacts to import — we never automatically sync your entire address book.
Context You Share
Yenesow only uses data you explicitly provide within the app. This includes your responses to the Tune Up questionnaire (relationship closeness, contact frequency goals, relationship context) and your conversations with the AI Relationship Coach. We never access your messages, emails, SMS, or any external communications.
Usage Data
We collect anonymized usage data such as feature usage patterns, app performance metrics, and crash reports to improve the service.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your data exclusively to provide and improve the Yenesow service:
- Relationship Health Scores: We use the context you share through Tune Up — relationship closeness, milestones, and your goals — to generate health scores for your relationships.
- Smart Nudges: We use relationship data and milestones to send you timely reminders about birthdays, important dates, and when it's time to reach out.
- AI Relationship Coach: Our AI coach uses your relationship context to suggest conversation starters, events, and meetup ideas.
- Contact Organization: We auto-categorize contacts into Family, Friends, and Professional groups based on contact data.
3. Data Storage & Security
- All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption
- Data is transmitted over TLS 1.2+ encrypted connections
- OAuth tokens for connected services are encrypted with AWS KMS
- Infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States
- We follow industry-standard security practices including regular security audits
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Ever.
We may share data only in these limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We use AWS for hosting and infrastructure. These providers process data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation.
- With Your Consent: We will share data with third parties only when you explicitly authorize it.
5. Your Rights & Controls
You have full control over your data:
- Access: View all data we have about you within the app
- Export: Request a full export of your data at any time from Settings
- Delete: Delete your account and all associated data permanently from Settings
- Revoke: Disconnect any integrated service at any time, and we will delete the associated data
- Modify: Edit or remove any contact data, categories, or attributes
6. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account:
- All personal data is permanently deleted within 30 days
- Anonymized, aggregated analytics data may be retained
- Backup copies are purged within 90 days
7. Children's Privacy
Yenesow is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
8. Third-Party Integrations
When you connect third-party services (LinkedIn, Facebook, Apple), those services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them. We only access the specific data scopes you authorize, and you can revoke access at any time.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
