3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers: third-party vendors that help us operate the Service (hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
- Legal requirements: when required by law, subpoena, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

The Service integrates with third-party services including but not limited to:
- Stripe for payment processing and creator payouts.
- Google for OAuth authentication.
- PostHog for product analytics.
- Vercel for hosting and infrastructure.
- AI providers (e.g., for video and audio generation) to power content creation features.
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention, financial records).

We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: required for authentication and core functionality.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@yoh.app.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), secure credential storage, and access controls. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
