Privacy Policy

Location data. GPS coordinates, heading, speed, and related motion signals collected while you use Ask or an active Journey. If you enable Journey tracking, Yonder may continue receiving location updates while the app is backgrounded or the screen is locked so hands-free Guide narration can continue.

Account information. Your email address, optional name, internal user ID, and authentication details collected through Supabase when you create a Yonder account.

Beta and launch interest. If you join our interest list, we collect your email address, your consent to receive TestFlight beta and App Store launch updates, the signup source or campaign when available, consent time, and subscription status. To prevent abuse, we also keep a short-lived pseudonymous fingerprint derived from network and browser request signals; the raw address is not stored in that rate-limit record. Joining the interest list does not create a Yonder account.

Voice preferences. Your selected narrator voice and audio settings.

Usage data.Features you've viewed, narrations you've heard, and engagement signals such as listen duration and skips. This helps us improve personalization and content quality.

Purchases. Subscription status and entitlement state used to provide Yonder Pro and enforce free-tier limits.

User content. Saved Yonders, custom Moments, optional photos you choose to attach, and public share links you create.

Diagnostics. App events, errors, and limited diagnostic location tracks used to debug Journey timing and audio behavior.

Feature discovery. Your location is used to find nearby points of interest from Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, GeoNames, and HMDB.org.

AI narration. Location context and nearby feature data are sent through OpenRouter to an eligible endpoint serving OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna model to generate and review automatic Guide stories. We instruct OpenRouter to use only endpoints it identifies as not collecting request data; this is not a strict zero-data-retention guarantee. User-initiated Ask questions use the same route, including the question, recent conversation text, location context, and nearby feature data needed to answer. Relevant submitted Moment text may also be processed through this route for automated abuse and spam checks.

Personalization. Usage signals help Yonder adapt to your interests over time, surfacing the kinds of stories you engage with most.

Service improvement. Aggregated usage data helps us improve narration quality, feature selection, and timing.

Billing and support. Purchase state is used to unlock Yonder Pro, restore purchases, troubleshoot subscription issues, and prevent abuse of free usage limits.

Beta and launch communication. If you ask us to, we use your interest-list email to send TestFlight availability, beta participation, and App Store launch messages. Each mailing must provide a way to unsubscribe.

Location is collected when it is needed for Ask, Journey, and Guide features. During an active Journey, location may continue in the background or with the screen locked so Yonder can keep narrating hands-free.

Your location data is notsold, shared with advertisers, or used for tracking or profiling outside of Yonder's core functionality.

Trip history (your Yonders) is stored at your discretion and can be deleted at any time from within the app or by contacting support.

Diagnostic tracks, when captured for troubleshooting, are exact location samples kept separately from broad product analytics and are retention-limited.

Account data is retained while your account is active. Usage data is retained to support service improvement. Diagnostic tracks are retained for a limited troubleshooting window.

Interest-list records are retained while the beta or launch communication you selected remains relevant. When you unsubscribe, we retain the minimum suppression record needed to honor that preference and avoid mailing you again unless you later rejoin.

You may initiate account deletion from the app or request help deleting associated data by contacting us at hello@rivalbear.com.
