Yeardot Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Taste Games (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in Yeardot (the “App”), a good-day, bad-day journal for iPhone. If you have questions, contact us at tastegames13@gmail.com.

The short version

Yeardot works entirely on your device. Your days, your reasons, your notes and your letters never leave it. The App has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking, and we do not operate any server that receives data from the App.

Your days

The days you mark as good or bad, the reasons you pick or add, the notes and letters you write, and the quotes you keep are stored in a database on your device. They are not uploaded, not sent to us, and not shared with anyone.

You can export a backup file from the App’s settings and import one again. The file goes only where you choose to send it, and the App only reads a file that you pick yourself.

App lock

If you turn on the app lock, your device checks Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode and tells the App only whether the check passed. The App never receives or stores your face, your fingerprint or your passcode.

Reminders

The evening reminder is a notification that the App schedules on your device; no server is involved. You can turn it off in the App or in your device’s settings at any time.

The little games and the Quiet Room

The games offered after a bad day and the breathing exercise run on your device. They record nothing about how you play and keep no scores.

Links that leave the App

After a long run of bad days the App shows a link to findahelpline.com. The link opens in your browser only if you tap it; that website is run by someone else and has its own privacy policy. The App does not tell it anything about you.

Information we collect

We do not collect personal information through the App. Yeardot does not ask for your name, email address, or any other contact details, it does not use advertising identifiers, and it does not make network requests of its own.

Purchases

Yeardot is free. It has no purchases, no subscriptions and no advertising.

Information Apple may share with us

If you have chosen on your device to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with aggregated statistics and crash reports about the App. This information does not identify you.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use this only to reply to you and to resolve your request, we keep it only for as long as that takes or as the law requires, and we do not sell or share it.

Children’s privacy

Yeardot is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children or from anyone else through the App. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, please contact us so that we can delete it.

Data retention and security

Because the App keeps its data on your device, that data is protected by the security of your device and stays there until you delete it in the App’s settings or delete the App. We hold no copy of it.

International data processing

The App does not send your data anywhere, so it is not transferred to other countries by us. Email you send us is handled by our email provider and may be processed in countries other than the one where you live.

Your privacy rights

Subject to applicable law, including the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, and privacy laws of states in the United States such as California, you may have rights of access, correction, deletion and objection regarding personal information. Because the App’s data stays on your device, you exercise most of these rights there: you can read, change, export and erase everything in the App itself.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for targeted advertising. For correspondence you have sent us, you can ask us for a copy or to delete it by emailing tastegames13@gmail.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the App or our practices. Any updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
