The necessary things, plainly said.

Agreement one

Terms of Use

Version 2026-09-08-membership-v1 · Last updated September 8, 2026

These Terms govern access to Yenvay. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms and the Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use Yenvay.

1. Eligibility and accounts

Adults aged 18 or older who are legally able to agree to these Terms can join directly by creating an account and confirming their email. No application or administrator approval is required for adult signup. Members aged 13–17 may join only through an eligible parent or legal guardian’s household invitation and supervision. Children under 13 cannot join. You must provide an accurate date of birth and may not bypass the age or guardian checks. Give accurate account information, use invitations only as intended, keep your credentials secure and tell us promptly about suspected unauthorized access.

2. Your content

You retain ownership of content you submit. You give Yenvay a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt and display that content only as needed to operate, secure and improve the service and show it according to your visibility selections. This license ends when content is deleted, except for reasonable backup, legal and technical retention.

3. Your responsibilities

Only upload content you have the right to use. Do not use Yenvay to break the law; infringe intellectual-property, privacy or publicity rights; harass, deceive or exploit others; distribute malware or spam; scrape the service; bypass access controls; manipulate points or invitations; or interfere with the service. Do not use another person’s photograph, private information or location without permission.

4. Shared and public spaces

You are responsible for the visibility setting applied to your content. Public content may be viewed or copied beyond your intended audience. We may remove or restrict content or accounts when reasonably necessary to protect members, comply with law or enforce these Terms.

5. Invitations, Yennaday and unlocks

Invitations, Yennaday points, levels, rooms and other unlocks are service features. Unless Yenvay expressly states otherwise, they have no cash value, are not transferable outside permitted features and do not create property, investment or redemption rights. We may correct errors, reverse abuse and update feature rules.

6. Third-party services

Yenvay may use or link to third-party services and information sources. We do not control them and cannot guarantee that book details, images, valuations, biographies or other third-party information are complete, current or error-free.

7. Availability and service changes

Yenvay continues to develop. Features and availability may change. Keep a separate copy of important records, photographs or writing. We aim to provide a reliable experience but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access.

8. Suspension and ending use

You may stop using the service and request account deletion. We may suspend or terminate access for serious or repeated violations, security threats, legal requirements or conduct that materially harms Yenvay or its members.

9. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available.” Yenvay is a cataloguing, reflection and social tool, not a professional appraisal, archival-preservation, financial, legal, medical or safety service. To the extent permitted by law, Yenvay will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or loss of data, profits, goodwill or opportunity. Nothing here limits rights or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

10. Changes, U.S. law and contact

We may update these Terms as the service develops. Material changes will be communicated appropriately and, where required, presented for renewed acceptance. These Terms are governed by applicable United States law without limiting rights that cannot be waived under state consumer law. Questions may be sent to support@yenvay.com.

Agreement two

Privacy Policy

Membership policy version 2026-09-08-membership-v1 · Privacy notice clarified October 2, 2026

This notice explains how Yenvay handles personal information in the Yenvay application at app.yenvay.com and its account, collection and support services. Questions and personal-data requests can be sent to support@yenvay.com.

1. Information we collect

• Account and eligibility information: email address, Yenntag, display name, date of birth, account type, confirmation status, invitations and relevant guardian or household records. Authentication is handled through Supabase. If you register a supported passkey, the authentication service handles its registration information and the name you give it.
• Information you choose to keep: profile notes and links; collections and their item details; photographs and uploaded files; stories, diary entries, correspondence, recommendations, comments and public voice notes; and information entered into features such as travel, study, astrology or wedding planning. Some entries may concern other people. Share only information you are entitled to use, and avoid unnecessary sensitive information.
• Preferences and interactions: interests selected during onboarding, room appearance, visibility choices, friendships, follows, shared-space membership, invitations, Yennaday, levels, feature progress and dated policy-acceptance records.
• Service and security information: information sent when your device connects to the app and its providers, such as an IP address, browser or device information, request details and authentication or security events. Browser and device storage is described below.
• Support and safety information: messages, complaint details, reports and related records you submit when requesting help, reporting content or exercising a privacy right.

2. How we use information

We use information to provide and secure your account; check age and invitation eligibility; save and display your collections and writing; carry out the searches and sharing actions you request; apply access settings; operate household and social features; calculate points and feature progress; send account and recovery messages; respond to support and reports; diagnose technical problems; prevent misuse; and meet applicable legal obligations.

You choose whether to use optional features such as catalogue lookup, uploads and public contributions. Your browser or device may ask for permission when a feature needs access, for example to record a voice note or select a photograph.

3. What other people can see

Audience controls depend on the feature. Supported profile, room, collection and contribution settings include private, friends-only or public audiences; shared diaries, albums, households and organisations have their own membership or permission controls. Check the setting on the content you are sharing. A collection’s public setting does not make every associated private diary or restricted record public.

Public and shared content can be read, copied or downloaded by people allowed to view it. Later deletion or a visibility change cannot recall copies someone has already made. A public label within Yenvay does not mean every record is available without signing in. Email addresses, dates of birth and policy-acceptance records are not ordinary public profile fields.

4. When information is shared

Information is processed by providers needed to operate Yenvay, including Supabase for authentication, database and file services, Expo/EAS for app hosting, and providers used to deliver account email and support. Information is also shared with other members according to the action you take and the relevant access settings. We may disclose information when required by law, to address abuse or security issues, to protect people’s rights, or in connection with a business transaction involving Yenvay.

Catalogue and place searches send the search terms or reference you supply to the relevant information provider, through Yenvay’s lookup services where implemented. Providers used by available features include Wikimedia services, Open Library, Apple’s music and podcast catalogue, Crossref, Geoapify, GBIF, Open Food Facts and selected brand websites; some study searches may use Brave Search. For example, place lookup sends the place you search for, and podcast lookup sends a search term or an Apple podcast reference. Manual entry remains available in supported collection editors.

Some catalogue photographs and other external assets load from their original providers. Loading those assets or opening an external link connects your device to that provider, which can receive connection information such as your IP address. External sites, listening services and the separate marketing website have their own privacy and storage practices.

5. International processing

Yenvay’s service providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Applicable protections depend on the provider, processing activity and law. Contact support if you need information about a particular transfer or provider used for your account.

6. Retention and account deletion

Account information and saved content are retained to provide the service while you use it. Retention also depends on the type of record, account and sharing arrangements, security needs, unresolved disputes and legal obligations. This notice does not set a single retention period for every category. Support can explain retention relevant to a specific request.

To start permanent deletion, open Me → Settings → Account and choose Begin permanent deletion. The flow asks for your current password and the confirmation DELETE. Shared ownership or other outstanding records may require handover first. If cleanup cannot finish, follow the message to retry or contact support; an incomplete request is not confirmation that everything has been removed.

Some shared records belonging to other people, copies already downloaded by others, and records subject to legal or security retention may remain. Deactivation and signing out are different from permanent deletion. You can also request deletion without signing in by contacting support; do not send your password.

7. Your choices and privacy requests

You can edit supported account and profile details, change available audience settings, remove your content where the feature allows it and manage account access in Settings. Feature exports, such as collection CSV or cookbook PDF, contain the records described by that export; they are not a complete backup of your account, messages, private diaries or original media.

Depending on where you live and the applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or erase personal information, receive a portable copy, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on it, or opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising where relevant. You may also have a right to complain to a privacy authority or appeal a request decision.

Send your request to support@yenvay.com, or use the privacy category in the in-app complaint form. Explain your request and provide enough information to identify your account. We may need to verify ownership before providing or changing personal information. Do not send passwords, recovery links or unnecessary identity documents. If you disagree with a response, reply to request a review.

8. Age eligibility

Adults aged 18 or older can join directly. Members aged 13–17 need an eligible parent or legal guardian’s household invitation and supervision; children under 13 cannot join. Registration uses the date of birth supplied to check eligibility, and supervised memberships include guardian consent and household records. Teen accounts have additional privacy and access restrictions. Contact support if you believe a child has joined without meeting these requirements, or if a date of birth needs correction.

9. Security

Yenvay uses account authentication and access controls to restrict protected features and records. No service can guarantee absolute security. Use a unique password, keep your device secure, and promptly report suspected unauthorized access to support. Do not send anyone your password or account-recovery link.

10. Cookies and browser or device storage

Yenvay uses browser and device storage to keep sign-in working and remember choices involved in using the app. Similar rules can apply to cookies and other storage even when no cookie file is used. The main uses are:

Sign-in and account recovery

Session information keeps you signed in. Separate, temporary recovery information helps a password reset continue after a page refresh in the same browser tab.

Your collecting choices and preferences

Storage can remember collection interests and the room appearance selected during onboarding, recently used collections, and help or getting-started panels you have dismissed.

Faster display of catalogue information

Cached brand-logo references reduce repeated catalogue lookups. Your browser also manages ordinary caches for files such as app code and images.

These uses support sign-in and the features or choices described above. Accepting membership policies is not permission for advertising tracking. If optional tracking is introduced, we will explain it and ask for permission where required before enabling it.

You can manage cookies and site data in your browser settings or clear Yenvay’s app data using your device settings. Clearing storage may sign you out, interrupt recovery or remove local preferences and unfinished choices. It does not delete saved server-side collections or your account. Use the account-deletion process or contact support for that.

External websites and media providers, including the separate marketing site, may use different storage. Read their notices when visiting them.

11. Changes and contact

This notice may be updated as Yenvay and its practices change. The date above identifies the latest clarification. Material changes will be communicated appropriately, with additional consent where required. Questions about this notice, personal information, or a privacy request should be sent to support@yenvay.com.

Community Guidelines

Version 2026-09-08-membership-v1 · Last updated September 8, 2026

Enter another person’s living room as you would enter their home: with permission, curiosity and care.

• Do not harass, threaten, exploit, impersonate or target another person.
• Do not publish hate, sexual exploitation, graphic violence, spam or unlawful content.
• Respect private and friends-only rooms, shared diaries and sticky-note discussions.
• Never copy another member’s private notes, photographs, location or collection information without permission.
• Credit creators and sources, and only upload material you have the right to use.
• Do not manipulate invitations, friendships, Yennaday or other rewards.
• Use Yenvay’s report and block controls when another member makes the space unsafe.

Yenvay may remove content, restrict features or suspend accounts when needed to protect members and enforce these guidelines. Safety or privacy concerns may also be sent to support@yenvay.com.
