Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 10, 2026
Overview
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Yogya handles your information when you use our mobile application.
The short version:
Yogya keeps your yoga, health, and journal data on your device unless you sign in with Apple. If you sign in, we create an account and sync your data across your devices. We collect limited anonymous analytics and crash reports to improve the app. Signed-in email data is used only to create your account and is not used for marketing. Pear, our in-app assistant, is powered by Anthropic's Claude and sends messages to Anthropic to generate replies. When you record a practice, audio is recorded and poses are detected on your device; you can choose to share that audio to improve pose recognition.
Information We Don't Collect
We do not collect, store, or have access to:
- Your contacts, photos, or files from your device
- Your device location
- Advertising profiles or selling your data
Information We Do Collect
Anonymous App Analytics
To understand feature usage and improve Yogya, we record a small set of anonymous analytics events. These events do not include your health data, journal text, or class and practice content.
This analytics data may include:
- Anonymous app usage events
- Event time
- App version
- Basic device and operating system information
Important: This data is used only for product improvement and is not shared or used for advertising.
Anonymous Error Reports
We use Sentry, a third-party service, to collect anonymous crash reports and error logs when the app malfunctions. This helps us identify and fix bugs to improve the app experience.
These error reports may include:
- Technical information about the problem
- Device model and operating system version
- App version information
Important: These reports are used only to diagnose and fix problems. They do not include your health data or journal content.
Account Information
If you sign in with Apple, we create an account for you. Account information may include:
- The email shared during sign in
- The contact email you add in Settings, if you choose to add one
Important: We use signed-in email data only to create your account. We do not use it for marketing.
Account and Sync
If you sign in with Apple, Yogya creates an account and syncs your data across your devices.
Synced data may include:
- Classes
- Practices
- Journal entries
- Ratings
- Heart-rate samples linked to a practice
- Pear conversations
Important: When you delete your account in Settings, synced account data is removed. Your local on-device data remains until you delete the app.
If you share your journaling setup with a code, its name and field labels are stored on our servers so others can add them with the code. This does not include your journal entries.
How Your Health Data Is Handled
- If you do not sign in, your health and journal data stays on your device
- If you sign in, your classes, practices, journal entries, ratings, heart-rate samples, and Pear conversations can sync across your devices
- Deleting your account removes synced account data; deleting the app removes local data from that device
Practice Recording
When you record a practice, Yogya records audio through your microphone and detects pose names. The recording and pose detection happen on your device.
Your recording is saved on your device. Deleting a recording removes the audio from your device.
Important: If you leave "Share class audio" on, your recording is uploaded and stored with your account. We use it only to improve our pose recognizer, and that improvement is done anonymously. Your shared audio is not shared with other users or used for advertising, and it is removed when you delete your account. You can turn sharing off in Settings or before each recording.
Pear AI Assistant
Pear is an in-app assistant that answers questions about yoga and your practice. Pear is powered by Claude, an AI model from Anthropic.
When you send a message, Pear sends your message, relevant chat history, and enabled context or tool results to Anthropic as needed to generate a reply.
In Settings, you choose whether Pear may use your practice data, journal entries, Pear chat history, and yoga classes for context.
Important: Anthropic does not use messages sent through its commercial API services to train its models by default.
If you have Pear access, your practice transcript may also be sent to Anthropic to refine your pose timeline after a recording.
Your Pear conversations are stored on your device. If you sign in, they sync across your devices like other account data.
Third-Party Services
Sign in with Apple
We use Sign in with Apple if you choose to create an account.
Sentry
We use Sentry (sentry.io) for error tracking. Sentry's privacy policy can be found at: https://sentry.io/privacy/
Anthropic
Pear is powered by Claude, an AI model from Anthropic. When you use Pear, your messages are sent to Anthropic to generate replies. Recorded practice transcripts may also be sent to Anthropic to refine your pose timeline. Anthropic's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
YouTube
Pear may submit a video search query to YouTube API Services. YouTube returns video metadata such as video identifiers, titles, channel names, publication dates, watch URLs, and thumbnail URLs.
Yogya stores the displayed video metadata with the Pear conversation on your device. If you sign in, it syncs across your devices with the conversation. Thumbnails may also be cached on your device.
Reduced result metadata, including video identifiers, titles, channel names, and publication dates, may be sent to Anthropic as part of Pear's tool results. Tapping the YouTube attribution or a video result opens YouTube.
Google Firebase
We use Google Firebase to run your account, sync your data across your devices, store shared class audio, and store shared journaling codes. Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Data Security
If you do not sign in, your health and journal data stays on your device. If you sign in, your account data can sync across your devices. Anonymous analytics and crash reports are handled as described above.
