Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-01

Liberty Point ("we", "us") operates Yakkio. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. We are committed to privacy by design and collect only what we need to provide and secure the service.

Child Safety (CSAE/CSAM)

Yakkio, published by Liberty Point Pte. Ltd., has a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE/CSAM). We remove and report any suspected CSAE/CSAM immediately, preserve evidence for law-enforcement requests, and cooperate with authorities such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

If you see anything involving CSAE/CSAM, email steve@libertypoint.io or use the in-app report button. We prioritize these reports.

Data we collect

• Account: email, handle, avatar, authentication tokens.
• Content: posts, reactions, follows, and moderation state (ok / pending review / rejected with reason).
• Private topics: membership lists, join requests, admin permissions, and invite link usage.
• Direct messages: message content, read receipts, reactions, conversation metadata, mute/block preferences, and online status visibility settings.
• Device: push notification tokens; app version and platform.
• Usage & diagnostics: server logs, security/abuse signals, performance metrics.
• Advertising: ad impression data (when ads are viewed, which ad slots, page location). For logged-in users, we associate impressions with your user ID for analytics and fraud prevention. Anonymous users' impressions are tracked without user identification.
• AdMob data: When you view ads served through Google AdMob, Google may collect device information (IP address, device identifiers, OS version), ad interaction data (clicks, impressions), and performance metrics. This data is collected by Google AdMob, not by Yakkio directly. We use non-personalized ads, which means Google does not use your personal information or create a profile of you for ad targeting purposes.

How we use data (purposes & legal bases)

• Provide the service (Contract): account creation, posting, following, notifications, private topic access control, direct messaging, and real-time presence features.
• Security & abuse prevention (Legitimate interests): fraud/spam detection, rate limiting, content policy enforcement, private topic moderation, and direct message blocking.
• Advertising analytics (Legitimate interests): tracking ad impressions to measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and provide analytics to channel owners and advertisers. We do not use this data for behavioral advertising or sell it to third parties. We serve non-personalized ads through Google AdMob, which means ads are not targeted based on your personal information or browsing history.
• Compliance (Legal obligation): respond to lawful requests, maintain records as required.
• Consent (where applicable): optional notifications or features that require permission.

Do we sell or share data for ads?

No. We do not sell personal data or share it for cross‑context behavioral advertising. We track ad impressions for analytics and fraud prevention purposes only. App owners and channel owners can view aggregated impression statistics for their content, but individual user data is not shared with advertisers or third parties.

Non-Personalized Ads: We use Google AdMob to serve non-personalized advertisements in our mobile app. Non-personalized ads are not based on your personal information, browsing history, or interests. Google AdMob may collect device information and ad interaction data as described above, but this data is not used to create a personalized advertising profile. We do not request App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission on iOS because we do not use personalized advertising or cross-app tracking.
