Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Youp ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our mobile app ("App"). By accessing or using Youp, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

a. Account Information (Optional)

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address
• Name (first name or nickname)
• Password (securely hashed)

Creating an account unlocks premium features, such as progress tracking, cross-device sync, and (soon) subscriptions. You may use the app without creating an account, in which case only minimal, anonymous data is collected.

b. User Input

We collect the text you enter during your interactions with the AI (e.g., reflections, journal entries, prompts). This data is stored securely and may be used to personalize your experience or improve our AI responses.

You are never required to input personal or sensitive information. Any insights or advice given by the AI should be taken as informational only.

c. Device & Usage Data

Automatically collected data may include:

• Device type and OS
• App version and crash logs
• Anonymous usage patterns (e.g., session length)

d. Payment Information

If you subscribe to premium features via the App Store, we do not store your payment details directly. All billing and subscription data is handled securely by Apple’s in-app purchase system.
