Privacy Policy

YNGSoftware ("we", "us", or "our") operates yngsoftware.com and the services hosted on it, including YNGNotes and YNGClipboard. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated as you use our services:

• Account information — your name and email address, obtained via Google, Facebook, or Yahoo sign-in (OAuth 2.0). We never see or store your social media password.
• Content you create — notes, clipboard entries, file attachments, and any other data you save inside the platform.
• Usage data — pages visited, actions performed, and timestamps, used to maintain and improve the service.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, and device information collected automatically by our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Provide, operate, and maintain the services you use.
• Authenticate your identity and protect your account.
• Respond to support requests and communicate service-related updates.
• Monitor and improve performance, security, and reliability.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure. We apply industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption in transit, encrypted database connections, and access controls. Encrypted notes are protected with a password you control — we cannot read their contents.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted infrastructure partners (e.g. cloud hosting, email delivery) who process data solely on our behalf.
• Legal requirements — when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

5. Third-Party Authentication

We use Google, Facebook, and Yahoo OAuth 2.0 for sign-in. When you authenticate, those providers share your basic profile information (name and email) with us. Your use of those providers is governed by their respective privacy policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Facebook Data Policy
• Yahoo Privacy Policy

6. Cookies

We use session cookies strictly necessary for authentication and CSRF protection. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account and content data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us at the email below.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability (receive your data in a machine-readable format).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email or a notice on the platform. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
