1. Who we are and what this covers
Ylemos Inc is a Wyoming, United States company. This Privacy Policy applies to Kindling, Hedah, and Perith (the “Apps”), this website, and support communications. The Apps do not require a Ylemos account for core use.
2. Information handled by each App
| Product | Information | How it is handled |
|---|---|---|
| Kindling | Imported text, webpage links, selected audio, vocabulary, learning files, random installation identifier, and StoreKit transaction information. | Vocabulary and learning files are stored locally. Cloud inputs are processed only when you choose a cloud feature. |
| Hedah | Household plans, selected calendar copies, explicitly selected photos, chores, meals, groceries, and optional AI prompts. | Core data is local. Optional Apple iCloud/CloudKit sharing and selected AI features process the limited data needed for those functions. |
| Perith | Symptoms, cycle context, mood, sleep, energy, and journal notes that you choose to enter. | Entries are intended to remain on your device. Perith is an educational tracking tool, not a medical device. |
Apple may provide aggregated App Store analytics, crash reports, performance data, purchase status, or diagnostics according to your Apple settings. We use this information to operate purchases, understand reliability, and fix problems.
3. Kindling cloud processing
Kindling can work locally for pasted text, dictionary lookup, and vocabulary management. If you choose webpage extraction, AI-assisted annotations, podcast-link import, or cloud transcription, the information needed to complete that request leaves your device.
- Imported text, public webpage links, or selected sentences may be sent to Ylemos servers for extraction and annotation.
- Audio selected for cloud transcription is uploaded for speech-to-text processing.
- A random, app-generated installation identifier is sent with requests to enforce free and Plus usage limits. It is not an Apple hardware identifier or IDFA.
- StoreKit transaction information is sent for subscription validation. Ylemos does not receive your payment-card details.
Our backend is hosted by Railway and currently uses OpenAI for AI-assisted annotations and speech transcription. Inputs are used to return the requested result. Ylemos does not use imported content to train models or for advertising.
4. Service providers and sharing
Depending on the feature you choose, information may be processed by Apple for App Store purchases, device backup, iCloud, CloudKit, PhotosPicker, or sharing; by Railway for Ylemos-hosted backend services; by OpenAI for Kindling annotations/transcription and selected Hedah AI features; and by email or business-service providers when you contact support.
People you invite to a Hedah CloudKit household can access the information shared with that household. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect users, the public, or our services.
5. Storage and retention
Kindling learning files, vocabulary status, and reading progress are stored locally. Kindling's backend is designed not to persist imported source text or audio after a request completes; it retains operational quota and entitlement records associated with the random installation identifier. Infrastructure and AI providers may keep limited security or abuse-monitoring logs under their own policies.
Hedah and Perith primarily use device storage. Apple services may retain iCloud, CloudKit, backup, or purchase information according to Apple's policies. Support emails remain in our support records until no longer reasonably needed for support, security, or legal purposes.
6. Your choices and rights
- Delete local records inside an App or remove the App to delete its local container, subject to Apple backup and iCloud behavior.
- Avoid Kindling cloud processing by using pasted text, local dictionary lookup, and local vocabulary features only.
- Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple App Store account.
- Ask us to delete support communications or Kindling quota records associated with your installation identifier, where reasonably identifiable.
- Exercise applicable access, correction, deletion, or objection rights by contacting us.
7. Children and sensitive information
The Apps are not directed to children under 13. Hedah may be used by adults to organize a household but does not require children to create Ylemos accounts. Do not import confidential audio, copyrighted content you are not allowed to process, or information that is unnecessary for the selected feature.
8. Security and international processing
We use encrypted network connections and platform security features appropriate to the services described above. No storage or transmission method is perfectly secure. Ylemos is based in the United States, and providers may process information in the United States or other jurisdictions where they operate.
9. Policy changes
We may update this policy as our products, providers, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top identifies the latest version.
