Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 23, 2026
Yama ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve our service:
- Account Information: Email address used for account creation and login. If you sign in with Apple, we receive the email and name you choose to share through Sign in with Apple.
- Profile Information: Optional details you add to your profile, such as your handle, display name, bio, teaching style, location, languages, social links, and a profile photo.
- User Content: Yoga sequences, cues, templates, and other content you create or upload.
- Photos You Provide: Photos you take or select — a profile photo, or a photo of your handwritten class notes that you ask us to transcribe. Camera and photo-library access are used only for these actions and only with your permission.
- Audio You Provide: Voice recordings you make in the app so that we can transcribe them into sequence text.
- Subscription Information: Your subscription product, status, renewal or expiration dates, and transaction identifiers, associated with your Yama account so we can provide and restore Pro access.
We do not request access to Apple Health data or use your photos for facial recognition or identification. You may choose to include fitness goals or health-related details in a class description or other content you submit; we handle that content as described in this policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and maintain the Yama app
- Store and manage your yoga sequences and content
- Improve product functionality and user experience
- Generate AI-assisted recommendations for cues and postures
- Transcribe photos of your handwritten notes and voice recordings into editable sequence text, using the third-party AI services listed below
Data Storage and Security
Your data is securely stored using Supabase. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate the app:
- Supabase – database, authentication, and backend infrastructure where your account, profile, and content are stored
- Anthropic (Claude) – generation of yoga sequences from the class description you submit, and transcription of photos of your handwritten notes into text
- OpenAI – creation of a text embedding from your class description to retrieve relevant sequence references, and transcription of voice recordings you choose to submit
- Apple – Sign in with Apple authentication, and in-app purchases if you subscribe
- RevenueCat – subscription purchase and entitlement management, using your Yama account ID and subscription information
When you use AI-assisted Build, we send your class description to OpenAI for reference retrieval and to Anthropic for sequence generation. If you choose photo or voice input, we send the note photo to Anthropic or the voice recording to OpenAI for transcription. We send this content to provide the feature you requested. We do not opt in to these providers' optional use of API inputs and outputs for model training.
Our Anthropic API organization uses its standard retention setting: Anthropic ordinarily deletes API inputs and outputs from its backend within 30 days, with exceptions such as safety enforcement and legal requirements. Under OpenAI's standard API controls, Build descriptions sent for embeddings may be retained in abuse-monitoring logs for up to 30 days, with exceptions for legal or safety needs. OpenAI currently lists no default abuse-monitoring or application-state retention for its audio-transcription endpoint. These provider periods are separate from how long Yama stores content you save in your account. See Anthropic's retention information and OpenAI's API data controls for their current terms.
Templates and Content
All sequence templates provided in Yama have been legally obtained, licensed, or submitted with proper authorization from users or studios.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.
Each of your sequences and your profile has a visibility setting that you control (public or private). When a sequence or profile is set to public, or you share a sequence via a public link, that content — along with the profile details you have chosen to display — becomes viewable by others, including people who are not signed in. When it is set to private, it is visible only to your account. You can change the visibility of a sequence or your profile at any time in the app.
7. User Rights and Data Deletion
You can delete your account and associated data from Yama's active systems directly in the app, at any time: go to Account → Delete Account and confirm. This removes your account, profile, sequences, and uploaded content from Yama and cannot be undone. Content already sent to third-party AI providers may remain temporarily under their retention practices described above; deleting your Yama account does not immediately erase those copies.
If you are unable to access the app, you may also request deletion by contacting us at the address below, and we will delete your data within a reasonable timeframe. We may retain limited information where retention is required for legal or operational purposes.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal data — such as the right to access, correct, export, or restrict the processing of it. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.
8. Children's Privacy
Yama is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
