Privacy

Yoyo has no account and no server of its own, so there is nothing for me to collect.

What Yoyo stores

Everything stays on your device. Delete the app and it goes with it, unless backup is on.

What Yoyo sends

Nothing you create in Yoyo is sent to me, and I have no way to reach it. Yoyo carries no analytics of any kind, not even anonymous or aggregated counts, no advertising and no third-party tracking.

If you use the watch, the operating system passes your active checklist straight between your iPhone and your Apple Watch.

Backups

Backup is off until you turn it on. When you do, Yoyo writes a copy of your data into your own iCloud Drive, under your Apple Account, including the coordinates you saved and the record of where your things are. I have no access to it, and it stays there after you delete the app.

File backup writes the same content to a single file you save wherever you choose, which may be outside Apple.

Location and the Home alert

Yoyo asks for your location when you use your current position for a checkpoint, or center the map on yourself. Search for a place instead and you are never asked.

You can also switch on one alert: iOS watches a small area around your Home checkpoint, and Yoyo shows a notification if you leave it while a checklist is still getting ready. Switching it on asks for notification permission as well. It runs on your device and is the only notification Yoyo sends. Both are optional, and you can change your mind in iOS Settings.

Deleting your data

Settings has a “Remove your data” action that erases your checklists, items, tasks, checkpoints and the record of where your things are. It does not touch backups. A file already in your iCloud Drive, or one you exported yourself, stays where it is, and is yours to delete.

This website

This site sets no cookies of its own and loads no analytics or tracking scripts.

The pages are served by Cloudflare, Inc., which processes each request, including your IP address, to deliver it. The lawful basis is legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. That processing happens in the United States, under Cloudflare’s data processing agreement and the standard contractual clauses it incorporates.

Your rights

The GDPR gives you rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and the right to complain to a data protection authority.
