Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Yearpop is operated by Bernardo Ramada. This Privacy Policy explains how Yearpop handles personal information when you use the Yearpop mobile application (the "App") or contact us. Questions can be sent to support@yearpop.com.

2. The short version

Yearpop is currently a local-first app. It does not require an account, and we do not operate a backend that receives your events. We do not currently use analytics, advertising trackers, profiling tools, or third-party crash-reporting services in the App.

Your event information and screenshot-import results stay in the App's storage on your device unless you choose to share them, send us an email, or your device or platform handles them through features outside Yearpop's control. Yearpop does not use your screenshots, extracted text, or events to train an AI model.

3. Event information

The App stores information you enter for events, such as titles, dates, times, addresses, notes, booking or confirmation references, travel details, recurrence settings, emojis, colors, and creation or update timestamps, in a local database on your device. The App may also maintain an automatic JSON backup in its local application storage so it can attempt to restore your events. Yearpop does not receive this information.

Local data and backups may be included in device-level backups or migrations depending on your operating-system and Apple settings. Those platform features are controlled by you and the relevant platform provider, not by Yearpop.

If you choose Download backup, the App creates a backup file containing your saved event information and opens your device's system share sheet. You choose where to save or send that file. Yearpop does not receive it. A destination such as Files, iCloud Drive, another storage provider, or a person you select may process the file under its own terms and privacy policy.

4. Screenshot import

If you choose Import from screenshots, Apple's system photo picker lets you select up to two images. Yearpop receives only the items you select, not general access to your photo library. You can cancel the picker and enter an event manually instead. If a selected item is stored in iCloud rather than on your device, Apple and your operating system may download it according to your Apple account, device settings, and Apple's privacy terms.

The App uses Apple Vision on your device to recognize text, including the text, its approximate position, and recognition confidence. On supported devices, Apple's System Language Model then processes that extracted text on your device to propose structured event fields. The App does not use a cloud or third-party AI model for this feature and does not upload screenshots, extracted text, prompts, or model responses to Yearpop servers. Yearpop does not use this material to train models or build profiles.

During an import, the App holds the selected images, recognized text, and proposed fields temporarily so you can review the result. It attempts to delete its temporary image copies when processing finishes, fails, or is abandoned. Deletion is best-effort: copies or traces may remain for a limited time in operating-system caches, iCloud, your photo library, device backups, or other storage controlled by you or Apple. Yearpop cannot access or delete those external copies.

If you save the proposed event, only the event fields you reviewed are stored locally as described above; the source screenshots and raw recognition results are not attached to the event or intentionally retained as a separate record. If you cancel without saving, no event is created.

Screenshots can contain sensitive personal information about you or other people, including travel, booking, health, contact, or location information. Select only images you are entitled to use and avoid screenshots containing information that is not needed for the event. Yearpop is designed to exclude passenger, patient, and attendee names, diagnoses, and medical reasons from proposed fields, but automated recognition can fail. You must review and remove anything you do not want stored before saving or sharing.

Screenshot import only proposes editable fields. It does not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, and no proposed field is final until you choose to save it.

5. Sharing events and backup files

When you choose to share an event, the App creates a visual asset and opens your device's system share sheet. You decide which app, service, or recipient receives it. Yearpop does not receive the shared asset, but the destination you select may process it under its own privacy policy. Review the preview and recipient before sharing.

When you restore a backup, Yearpop reads the file you select on your device, validates it, and replaces the events currently stored in the App with the events in that backup. The selected file and restored event information are not uploaded to Yearpop.

6. Why we process information

We process event information and selected screenshots on your device to provide features you request, including creating, organizing, reviewing, backing up locally, and sharing events. Depending on the law that applies, this processing is based on performing our agreement with you or taking steps at your request, and on our legitimate interests in providing a functional, secure, and useful App. Where consent is required, we rely on the choice or permission presented to you and you may withdraw it through the relevant App or device controls, without affecting earlier processing.

We process support and feedback correspondence to respond to you, troubleshoot problems, protect and improve the App, keep appropriate business records, and comply with law. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

7. Website and essential technical data

When you visit https://yearpop.com, Cloudflare and other hosting or security infrastructure may automatically process limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as your IP address, request time, requested page, browser or device information, security signals, and strictly necessary cookies. This processing is used for site delivery, reliability, abuse prevention, and security, not targeted advertising.

These providers may retain technical logs under their own documented practices and may process them in other countries. You can block cookies in your browser, but blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.

8. Feedback and support

If you choose Share feedback or Contact support, Yearpop opens your email app with a draft addressed to us. If you send it, we receive the information in your email, which may include your email address, name, message, Yearpop app version, and device model.

We use this information to respond, troubleshoot, protect the App, and improve Yearpop. We process it because you asked us to respond, because it is necessary for our legitimate interests in supporting and improving the App, or because applicable law requires it. Your email provider and ours also process the message under their own terms and policies.

9. Information we do not currently collect

The current App does not create user accounts, collect payment or subscription information, serve advertising, sell personal information, track you across other companies' apps or websites, or send your event data to Yearpop analytics or cloud servers.

Apple independently processes information related to downloading, installing, purchasing, diagnosing, and using its platform and the App Store. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's policies and settings.

10. Retention and deletion

Event information remains on your device until you delete it, replace it by restoring a backup, remove the App, erase its data, or your device or operating system removes it. When an event is deleted in Yearpop, the current local backup is updated to remove it. Backup files you deliberately save outside the App remain in the location you selected until you delete them there. Yearpop cannot access or delete those copies for you.

We retain feedback and support correspondence only for as long as reasonably needed to answer you, maintain support history, improve and secure the App, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations. Retention may vary depending on the nature of the request.

11. Security

We use reasonable measures appropriate to the current local-first design, but no device, storage system, email service, or transmission method is completely secure. Protect your device with available security controls and avoid placing highly sensitive information in event titles or shared assets.

12. International processing

Your device, email provider, chosen sharing destination, Apple, or other service providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Their safeguards and transfer mechanisms are governed by their own policies and applicable law.

13. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, portability of, or an objection to our processing of personal information; to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and to complain to a data-protection authority. You may contact support@yearpop.com to exercise a right concerning information Yearpop actually holds, such as support correspondence.

You control locally stored event information directly through the App and your device. Because Yearpop does not receive that information, we generally cannot access, correct, export, or delete it for you.

14. Children

Yearpop is intended only for people aged 16 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a person under that age has sent personal information to us, contact support@yearpop.com so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when Yearpop's features, data practices, legal obligations, or business arrangements change. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required. Material additions such as accounts, cloud sync, analytics, advertising, subscriptions, or new personal-data collection will require this policy to be reviewed before release.
