Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Yearlify, we believe your memories are personal and should stay that way. We've built our service with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought.

Information We Collect

Information We DON'T Collect

• Your photos or images - they stay 100% on your device
• Personal identification information (name, email, address)
• Account credentials - we don't require signup
• Location data from your photos
• Any metadata from your images

Information We MAY Collect

• Anonymous Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics (like Umami) to understand how people use our tool. This includes page views, button clicks, and general usage patterns. No personal data is collected.
• Technical Data: Basic technical information like browser type, screen size, and general geographic region (country level) may be collected for improving user experience.

How Your Data is Processed

When you use Yearlify to create your yearly photo calendar:

1. Photos stay local: When you drag and drop or upload photos, they are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The images are converted to data URLs and stored in your browser's memory.
2. Calendar generation: When you generate or export your calendar, the image is created using HTML5 Canvas technology in your browser.
3. Saving projects: When you save a project (.ylf file), it's downloaded directly to your device. We never see or store this file.
4. Sharing: If you share your calendar, you're sharing the generated image file, not your original photos.

Third-Party Services

Google AdSense

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free operation of this service. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand usage patterns. These tools are configured to respect your privacy and do not track personal information.

Cookies

Yearlify itself does not use cookies for functionality. However, third-party services like Google AdSense may place cookies on your browser for advertising purposes. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Data Security

Since your photos and calendar data never leave your device, the security of your data is inherently protected. We use HTTPS encryption for all connections to our website to ensure any data transmitted is secure.

Children's Privacy

Yearlify is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information, this concern is minimal, but parents should supervise their children's internet usage.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to request, modify, or delete. Your photos and calendar creations exist only on your device and are entirely under your control.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
