Privacy Policy
YNØK is a small app for posting a status for your buddies. Here is what it keeps about you, and why. Last updated November 14, 2026.
What we collect
- Your account: screen name, email address, and your password (stored only as a one-way hash).
- What you post: your statuses, the photos you attach to them, your profile photo, and the likes and comments you leave.
- Your buddies: who you are buddies with, buddy requests, and invite codes you create or use.
- Basic server logs: IP addresses and request times, kept briefly to keep the service running and to stop abuse.
What we don't do
- No ads, no tracking across other apps or websites, and no analytics SDKs.
- We never sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
- Your photos aren't public. They're stored privately, and the app only ever gets links that expire after an hour.
Who can see what
Your statuses, photos, likes and comments are visible to your buddies. Other people can find you by screen name unless you turn on Private account in Settings.
Where it's stored
On servers run by Fly.io in the United States, with photos in Fly's private storage (Tigris). They process it only to run YNØK.
Deleting your account
In the app, go to Settings → Delete account. That permanently deletes your account, statuses, photos, likes, comments and buddy list. Photos are removed from storage within a few minutes.
Kids
YNØK isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
