Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 10, 2026

1. Who we are

Yuho is a voice diary app for iPhone that helps you capture walks, thoughts, and moments. Optional features can include location and transcripts. We operate the Yuho app and the website yuho.io, including public share pages at yuho.io/s/… when you choose to share a recording from the app.

2. What we collect

iOS app (on your device)

  • Voice recordings and related content — stored locally on your device unless you explicitly use features that send data elsewhere (for example, web sharing or any future cloud features you opt into).
  • Metadata you create — such as titles, notes, timestamps, and optional location, as configured in the app.
  • App preferences and identifiers — for example a device identifier used to manage web shares or API access, stored according to platform APIs (e.g. Keychain) where applicable.

Web sharing (yuho.io) — when you share a recording to the web from the app

  • Audio file — uploaded to our storage so visitors with the link can play it.
  • Share metadata — such as title, duration, optional transcript segments, optional location or route summary, expiry, and a secret token embedded in the link so only people you share with can access the page.
  • Device / app authentication data — values the app sends so we can create, manage, or revoke your share (for example an app key and device identifier). We use these to enforce limits and let you delete a share from the app.

Visitors to yuho.io

  • Technical data — standard server and CDN logs (for example IP address, user agent, timestamps) processed by our hosting provider.
  • Product analytics — on marketing pages we may use analytics tools (for example PostHog) to understand aggregate usage. You can use browser controls or ad-blockers to limit this.
  • Share listening analytics — for shared recordings we may record aggregated events (such as plays or progress buckets) tied to the share ID and a short-lived hashed viewer identifier derived from connection metadata, to understand how content is used. We do not use this to sell personal profiles.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your voice recordings to train third-party AI models. We do not show third-party ads in the product experience described above.

3. How we use it

  • To provide the Yuho app and its features
  • To host, deliver, and revoke web shares you create
  • To protect the service (abuse prevention, rate limits, security monitoring)
  • To improve reliability and fix bugs
  • To respond when you contact us

4. Web share links

Anyone who has the full link (including the access token in the URL) can play the shared recording until you revoke it or it expires, according to the options you chose in the app. Treat links like a private key: only send them to people you trust.

5. Who we share data with

  • Cloudflare — we host yuho.io, APIs, metadata database (D1), object storage (R2) for shared audio, and related infrastructure on Cloudflare.
  • Analytics providers — for example PostHog for website analytics where enabled.
  • Apple — when you download or purchase through the App Store, Apple processes that interaction under Apple’s terms and privacy policy.
  • Map tiles — share pages that show a map may load map imagery from third-party tile providers (for example OpenStreetMap-based services). Those requests may expose your IP to the tile host under their policies.

We do not sell lists of users or recordings to data brokers.

6. Data storage & security

  • Traffic between your device and our services uses encryption in transit (HTTPS / TLS).
  • Shared audio and metadata are stored in our cloud environment with access restricted to operating the service.
  • No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we work to follow reasonable industry practices.

7. Data retention & deletion

  • Recordings that stay only on your phone are under your control; uninstalling the app or deleting entries follows iOS and in-app behaviour.
  • When you revoke a web share from the app, we remove access and delete associated hosted content according to our backend implementation and backups cycle.
  • Shares may expire automatically based on the expiry you selected.
  • Email privacy@yuho.io to request deletion of server-side data tied to web sharing or to ask how to exercise your rights.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete personal data we hold, or to object to certain processing. Contact us at privacy@yuho.io and we will respond within a reasonable time. If you are in the EEA or UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

9. Children

Yuho is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact privacy@yuho.io and we will take appropriate steps.

10. International transfers

Our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.

11. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. For material changes affecting web sharing, we may also provide notice in the app or by email where appropriate.
