YapSend Privacy Policy — Thamizhi Studios

1. Who operates YapSend

YapSend is developed and published under the Thamizhi Studios name. In this policy, “YapSend,” “Thamizhi Studios,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the developer and operator of the YapSend app and YapSend-controlled services.

This policy applies to the YapSend mobile app and YapSend-controlled services. Third-party services, app stores, messaging apps, websites, and other services have their own privacy practices.

2. Information YapSend may handle

The information YapSend handles depends on the features you choose to use.

Text and messagesText you type, dictate, translate, rewrite, transform, or submit as conversation context, including generated text.

Voice and audioRecordings used for transcription, My Voice features, audio generation, and generated audio.

Screenshots and imagesImages you choose to submit for conversation understanding, reply assistance, or other supported image-based features.

Reply contextIf you enable Yap Replies, supported notification content such as the sending app, sender name, and message text may be read on your device to show reply context.

PreferencesCharacters, languages, styles, tones, genres, voice choices, and other settings used to provide your selected experience.

Account and purchase dataPseudonymous account or installation identifiers, entitlement status, purchase status, balances, and optional account-recovery linkage.

Technical informationLimited service information such as timestamps, request identifiers, feature used, status, latency, approximate usage, errors, and security or abuse-prevention signals.

One-time free Audio TimeFor the once-per-device starter offer, YapSend derives a purpose-specific hash of Android's app-scoped device ID on your phone. The raw device ID is never transmitted. YapSend sends the hash securely to its Cloudflare backend, hashes it again, and retains a unique device-claim record linked to the credited pseudonymous account to prevent repeated starter credits after an app reinstall. We do not use this claim for advertising or cross-app tracking and do not share it with ad networks.

3. Screenshots, notification replies, and conversation context

YapSend only processes a screenshot or image for AI understanding when you choose to continue with an image-based feature or otherwise request analysis. Selecting or capturing an image does not by itself mean that YapSend has analyzed it.

If you enable Yap Replies or similar notification-based assistance, YapSend may read supported conversation notifications on your device so it can display relevant reply context. The message content needed for generation is sent for cloud processing when you request a generated reply.

You control whether these features are enabled and what content you submit. You should avoid submitting content that you do not have permission to process or share.

4. Information stored on your device

YapSend is designed so your personal library remains primarily on your device. Depending on the features you use, local storage may include:

saved and recent generated text or audio;
characters, preferences, and creation settings;
a reusable My Voice sample that you choose to save;
locally saved media and app history; and
temporary working files needed by the app.

You can remove local YapSend data through the app where available, by clearing the app's data, or by uninstalling the app. Device or cloud backups that you control may follow your operating-system or backup-provider settings.

5. Cloud processing and limited server storage

Many YapSend features require remote processing. YapSend may transmit the content and settings needed to perform the request through YapSend-controlled services and to service providers that perform functions such as AI processing, transcription, image understanding, voice or audio generation, hosting, or search.

YapSend does not use its servers as a permanent personal library for your messages, recordings, screenshots, or generated media. Some request data or generated files may be stored temporarily or for a limited operational period when needed to complete queued processing, deliver a result, recover from failures, prevent abuse, or operate the service.

Operational records are separate from your content library. YapSend may retain limited account, entitlement, transaction, security, usage, and diagnostic records needed to run the service.

6. AI and other service providers

YapSend uses third-party service providers to perform parts of the features you request. Those providers may receive the content necessary to perform the requested function.

Once information is transmitted to a third-party provider, that provider processes it under its own terms, privacy practices, contractual commitments, settings, and applicable law. Providers may change as YapSend improves or replaces service components.

YapSend does not use your submitted message, voice, screenshot, image, or notification content to train YapSend-owned AI models.

7. My Voice and voice-reference features

If you choose My Voice, YapSend may use a voice sample stored on your device or a recording you provide as reference material for the requested audio generation. The reference may be transmitted for processing together with the text that should be performed.

YapSend does not intend to create a permanent YapSend-controlled voice-clone library from your reference sample. You should only submit a voice that you have the right and permission to use.

8. Live web search

Some eligible requests may use live web search when current information is needed. In that case, a search query derived from your request may be sent to a search provider and the returned information may be used to generate your response.

YapSend does not intentionally store raw search queries, returned search snippets, or your generated response in its operational search logs.

9. Device permissions

Depending on the feature, YapSend may request access such as microphone permission for recording, notification access for Yap Replies, or screen-capture access for screenshot features. YapSend may also use normal device storage and sharing capabilities to save, play, export, or share content you create.

You can manage these permissions through your device settings. Disabling a permission may prevent the related feature from working.

10. Optional account recovery

YapSend may offer optional account protection or recovery through a supported identity provider. When you use it, YapSend receives information needed to verify the selected account and stores a pseudonymous linkage so eligible purchases or balances can be recovered.

YapSend does not intentionally store your Google email address as part of its Google recovery linkage.

11. Sharing content with other apps

When you choose to share YapSend output, your device may hand the selected text, audio, image, or file to another app. After you choose to share it, the receiving app's privacy policy and data practices apply. YapSend does not control what the receiving service or recipient does with content you send.

12. Purchases and app-store services

Paid features, subscriptions, and top-ups may be processed by Google Play or another authorized app-store or payment platform. YapSend does not receive your full payment-card number from those platforms. YapSend may receive and retain transaction, entitlement, country or region, purchase-status, and fraud-prevention information needed to provide and support paid features.

13. Advertising

Free or promotional use of YapSend may include advertising, including ads that unlock continued use or provide rewards. Advertising services may automatically process information such as your IP address, general location inferred from IP, device or advertising identifiers, app and ad interactions, and diagnostic information for advertising, measurement, security, and fraud prevention.

YapSend does not sell your personal information and does not send your message text, voice recordings, screenshots, notification content, or generated content to advertising providers for ad targeting.

Where required, YapSend provides advertising privacy or consent controls through the app or the advertising provider's consent tools.

14. Technical logs, security, and abuse prevention

YapSend and its infrastructure providers may process limited technical logs and service metadata needed to secure, operate, measure, and troubleshoot the service. We design operational logging to avoid using your private content as a general-purpose log or permanent archive.

We use reasonable technical measures intended to protect YapSend-controlled systems and information in transit. No networked service can guarantee absolute security.

15. Retention and deletion

Local content

You control locally stored YapSend content through the app and your device. Clearing app data or uninstalling YapSend removes app-local data subject to your device and backup settings.

YapSend-controlled records

YapSend retains server-side information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including providing requested features, maintaining purchases and balances, security, fraud prevention, support, diagnostics, and legal obligations.

One-time starter-credit device claims may be retained for the duration necessary to enforce the one-off offer and stop reinstall abuse. When you request deletion, YapSend reviews the related account and device claim under applicable requirements; fraud-prevention claim records may be retained where needed to prevent repeated redemptions.

You may request deletion of YapSend-controlled account or recovery information by contacting privacy@thamizhistudios.com. Some records may be retained where necessary for transaction integrity, security, fraud prevention, dispute handling, or legal obligations.

Third-party providers

Third-party providers may have their own retention and deletion rules. Their handling of data is governed by their own terms, privacy practices, and applicable law.

16. Children

YapSend is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through YapSend, contact us so we can review the issue.

17. International processing

Cloud, AI, advertising, identity, payment, and other service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Such processing is subject to applicable law and the relevant provider's practices.

18. Your privacy choices and rights

You can choose what content to submit, whether to use optional voice, screenshot, notification, search, or account-recovery features, what generated content to keep, and what to share. You can revoke device permissions and delete locally stored YapSend data through your device.

Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you additional rights regarding personal data that YapSend controls. You can contact us to make a privacy request. We may need enough information to understand and respond to the request.

19. Legal requirements

We may disclose information we actually possess if required by applicable law, valid legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or safety of YapSend, its users, or others.

20. Changes to this policy

YapSend may update this Privacy Policy when features, service providers, legal requirements, or data practices change. The current version will be published at this URL with an updated “Last updated” date.
