Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 25, 2026

YardAI ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website https://yardai.app/ (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data, and outlines your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.

1. Who We Are

If you have any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can contact us using the email address above.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide and improve our Service.

Data you provide directly

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Account login details
  • Payment information (processed securely by Stripe — we do not store card details ourselves)

Data collected automatically

  • Analytics data through:
    • Google Analytics
    • Microsoft Clarity

This may include information such as device type, browser, pages visited, and general usage behavior.

We do not intentionally collect phone numbers, contact form messages, IP addresses, or use tracking cookies at this time.

3. Why We Use Your Data (Purpose of Processing)

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate the YardAI SaaS platform
  • To create and manage user accounts
  • To process payments and subscriptions
  • To analyze usage and improve our Service
  • To maintain security and prevent misuse

We only use your data when we have a valid legal reason to do so.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

Under GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Contractual necessity – data is required to provide the Service you signed up for
  • Legitimate interests – to improve performance, security, and user experience
  • Legal obligation – where required by applicable laws

5. Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment provider. When you make a payment, your payment details are sent directly to Stripe and handled according to their privacy and security standards.

We do not store or process your full payment card information on our servers.

6. Analytics & Third-Party Services

We share limited data with trusted third-party services to operate and improve the Service:

  • Google Analytics – website usage analytics
  • Microsoft Clarity – user interaction and performance analytics
  • Stripe – payment processing

These providers act as data processors and are required to protect your data and comply with applicable privacy laws.

In the future, we may use email communication tools for service-related messages. If so, this policy will be updated accordingly.

7. Cookies & Tracking

Currently, YardAI does not use cookies or display a cookie consent banner.

If this changes in the future (for example, if cookies or additional tracking technologies are introduced), we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required, request user consent.

8. Data Retention

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service.

  • Account and related data is retained until you request deletion
  • Some data may be kept longer if required for legal, accounting, or security purposes

9. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Union (or equivalent jurisdictions), you have the following rights:

  • Right of access – know what data we have about you
  • Right to rectification – correct inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure – request deletion of your data
  • Right to restrict processing
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address listed above.

10. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States. If you are located outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

When required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to protect your data.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • Secure account authentication
  • Encrypted payment processing via Stripe
  • Restricted access to personal data
  • Use of reputable third-party service providers

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we strive to protect your data to the best of our ability.

12. Children's Privacy

YardAI is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
