PRIVACY POLICY
What we collect, why we collect it, and who touches it. Yap Royale is operated by Voices of History Foundation.
1. What We Collect
Your email address, and — if you sign in with Google — the name and profile picture Google shares with us. We assign your account a role (pending, approved, admin) to control access.
Your conversations and debates with the figures: the messages you write, the topics you pick, the transcripts and scores those sessions produce, and any suggestions or feedback you submit.
Product analytics events (pages visited, features used) and session replays via PostHog, plus error reports via Sentry. Error reports are scrubbed of your message text before they leave the server.
If you buy a subscription, payment is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number — we store only your subscription status.
2. How We Use It
To run the product: generate the figures' responses, judge and score debates, keep your session history, and let you resume where you left off.
To improve the platform: conversation data may be used to make the figures, judging, and product better. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not run ads.
3. AI Processing
The figures are powered by large language models. The messages you send in a session are forwarded to our AI providers (currently OpenAI) to generate responses, and to our text-to-speech providers (ElevenLabs, Fish Audio) when voice is enabled. These providers process your content to provide the service per their own data-processing terms.
Everything a figure says is machine-generated. Treat it accordingly — and don't put sensitive personal information into a debate.
4. Who Touches Your Data
Authentication and database hosting.
Application hosting and delivery.
Generates the figures' responses and scoring.
Text-to-speech when voice is on.
Product analytics and session replay.
Error tracking (message bodies scrubbed).
Subscription payments.
Transactional email (sign-in and account notices).
That's the full list. No data brokers, no ad networks.
6. Retention & Deletion
We keep your account and session data while your account is active. To delete your account and its data, or to request a copy of it, email support@yaproyale.com. We'll act on verified requests within 30 days.
7. Children
Yap Royale is for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if you believe we have, contact us at support@yaproyale.com and we will delete it.
8. Changes & Contact
We'll update this page when our practices change and bump the date at the top. Questions go to support@yaproyale.com.
