This Privacy Policy explains how JustYap (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, processes, and protects your information when you use the JustYap mobile application (“App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not download, install, or use the App.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: LOCAL-ONLY DATA ARCHITECTURE

JUSTYAP OPERATES ON A LOCAL-FIRST STORAGE MODEL. ALL VOICE JOURNAL RECORDINGS, DIARY ENTRIES, TRANSCRIPTS, INSIGHTS, NOTES, AND MOOD DATA ARE RECORDED AND STORED DIRECTLY AND EXCLUSIVELY ON THE LOCAL STORAGE OF YOUR PHYSICAL DEVICE.

WE DO NOT TRANSMIT, SYNC, STORE, BACK UP, OR REPLICATE YOUR JOURNAL DATA OR AUDIO RECORDINGS ON OUR BACKEND SERVERS. WE HAVE NO ACCESS TO, COPIES OF, OR CONTROL OVER YOUR DIARY DATA. IT IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE AND MANAGE BACKUPS USING THE OPTIONAL GOOGLE DRIVE BACKUP SYSTEM INTEGRATED IN THE APP. WE ASSUME ZERO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY PERMANENT LOSS, CORRUPTION, DELETION, OR STEAL OF YOUR PERSONAL JOURNAL CONTENT.

1. Who We Are

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: information you provide, information collected automatically, and device permissions.

2.1 Information You Provide

• Profile Display Name: During the App onboarding, you choose a display name (nickname). This name is stored locally on your device and in your user profile on our database servers.
• Voice Recordings and Text Journal Content (Processed Locally & Temporarily):
  • On-Device Custody: All your audio recordings (Yaps), transcripts, summaries, and associated mood logs remain stored inside the App’s private directory on your device.
  • Temporary AI Processing: When you request transcription, summarization, or recap generation, your audio files or text entries are securely transmitted via TLS encryption to our Deno Edge Functions (hosted by Supabase) which call third-party APIs (Groq and OpenAI). This content is processed entirely in-memory and is never permanently stored, cached, or saved on our backend servers. Once transcription/summarization is complete, the results are returned to your device and deleted from the RAM of our edge functions.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically
