Yuko – Privacy Policy

Date
2026-06-02

Part 1 – Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Yuko handles information when you use our app and related services. Yuko is a lightweight meal-balance diary designed for personal food logging, water tracking, weekly summaries, and local history review. We aim to keep the experience simple and low-pressure while protecting your personal information.

This policy describes what information may be collected, how it is used, where it may be processed, how long it may be retained, and the choices you have. By using Yuko, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Part 2 – AI Processing

Yuko does not use any third-party AI services to process user data. All AI processing, if any, is performed exclusively on our own internal servers under our control.

Any data submitted for processing is used only to provide the requested app functionality. It is not used to train models, improve external AI systems, or build third-party datasets. Temporary processing data is deleted after the processing task is completed.

We do not use user content for model training, fine-tuning, or model optimization by any third party.

Part 3 – Data Sharing

We do NOT sell, rent, or trade user data.

We do NOT share any user-uploaded or user-generated content with any third party, except where a limited infrastructure provider may process data strictly on our behalf and only under our instructions as described below.

Any third-party service used for cloud storage, server hosting, or other basic infrastructure operations acts solely on our behalf and under our instructions. Such providers are bound by contractual obligations to protect data security and are not permitted to use user data for any purpose beyond what we instruct.

Third parties are not allowed to use data for advertising, profiling, AI training, model optimization, their own business purposes, redistribution, or independent access to user content.

Part 4 – International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed or stored in different regions depending on the location of our internal servers or infrastructure providers. This means your data may be transferred across national borders.

When such transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Part 5 – Face Data / Biometric Information

Yuko does not intentionally collect, analyze, store, or use biometric information. We do not perform facial recognition, create face templates, or conduct biometric identification or verification.

If a meal photo is uploaded or selected, it is used only as an optional user record for the app experience. Any temporary processing data related to that content is deleted after processing is complete.

Part 6 – How We Use Information

We use information only to operate and improve the app’s core functions, such as saving meal logs, showing meal history, displaying weekly summaries, supporting water tracking, managing settings, and handling support requests.

We do NOT use information for advertising, user profiling, selling, third-party AI training, or model optimization. We also do NOT sell personal information or user-generated content.

We do not use your information to build marketing profiles or to target advertisements.

Part 7 – Data Retention

We keep data only for as long as needed to provide the app features and meet legal or operational requirements.

Where a user deletes content, we will remove it from the app or our systems within a reasonable time, unless we must retain it for legal, security, or fraud-prevention reasons.

Part 8 – Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures may include access controls, encryption in transit where applicable, secure server configuration, limited internal access, and operational safeguards designed to reduce risk.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we work to protect your information using appropriate safeguards consistent with the nature of the data we handle.

Part 9 – Children's Privacy

Yuko is intended for users who are 17 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 17.

If we learn that we have collected information from a user under 17, we will take appropriate steps to delete it as soon as reasonably possible.

Part 10 – User Rights

Part 11 – Changes to Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app, legal requirements, or operational practices. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice within the app or through other reasonable means.

Your continued use of Yuko after an update becomes effective means that you accept the revised policy.

Part 12 – Information We Collect

We do not collect data for advertising profiling or third-party marketing purposes.

Part 13 – User Consent and Acceptance
