Privacy Policy

Effective: March 18, 2026

Ayos ("the App") is developed by Matthew Ong. This policy describes how the App handles your information.

Data We Collect

Ayos stores all data locally on your device by default. The links you save, your lists, notes, and YouTube channel subscriptions are kept in your device's local storage using Apple's standard UserDefaults.

If you subscribe to Ayos Premium, your data may be synced via Apple's iCloud infrastructure, which is governed by Apple's own privacy policy.

Third-Party Services

The App connects to the following services to fetch link metadata (titles and thumbnails):

Microlink API (api.microlink.io): Used to fetch page titles and preview images for saved links.

noembed.com: Used to fetch metadata for YouTube video links.

YouTube Data API (via our proxy server): Used to search for channels and fetch episode listings. Requests are proxied through our server; no YouTube API credentials are stored on your device.

These services receive the URLs you save in order to fetch their metadata. We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party services.

Analytics & Tracking

Ayos does not include any analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, or tracking tools. We do not collect usage data, crash reports, or device identifiers.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties for any purpose.

Data Retention

All data is stored locally on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the App. If you use iCloud sync via Ayos Premium, data is retained according to Apple's iCloud policies.

Children's Privacy

Ayos is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
