Security & Privacy Practices
Last updated: June 24, 2026
Yayday is built around a simple idea: your work record is private, and you decide what to share. This page explains, in plain language, how we approach privacy and security — and where the honest limits are.
1. Private by Default
Yayday is private by default. The tasks, Work Areas, notes, updates, and reports you create are yours.
Your employer, manager, coworkers, clients, recruiters, or other third parties do not receive access to your account or content unless you choose to share specific content with them.
Yayday is not employee monitoring software. We do not track keystrokes, screenshots, screen recordings, browser history, physical location, background app usage, or hours worked.
2. You Control What Is Shared
Sharing in Yayday is something you do deliberately. You decide when to loop someone in, share a task or Work Area, send an update, or export a report.
When you share, Yayday shares only the content tied to that action — not your whole account.
Shared recipients only see the content you choose to share with them. They do not get access to your other tasks, Work Areas, or records.
3. Private Notes Stay Private
Private notes are for your own record. They are not shown to people you loop in unless you intentionally send or share that content.
Updates you explicitly send to looped-in recipients are visible to those recipients. Notes you keep private are not.
This separation is built into how Yayday stores and displays your content.
4. Revoking Access
Where supported, you can revoke a person's access to content you previously shared.
Revoking access stops further access inside Yayday. It cannot recover copies that were already downloaded, exported, emailed, printed, screenshotted, or otherwise saved outside Yayday.
Because of this, please think carefully before sharing, and share selectively.
5. What You Should Not Enter
Yayday is designed to help you keep a professional record of your work. It is not a vault for secrets.
Please avoid entering confidential or sensitive information, including:
- passwords or access credentials;
- trade secrets or proprietary source material;
- confidential employer or client information;
- coworkers' personal or sensitive information;
- regulated data such as health, financial, legal, or identity records;
- anything your workplace policies or client agreements do not allow you to store outside approved systems.
You are responsible for ensuring your use of Yayday complies with your workplace policies, confidentiality duties, and applicable law.
6. Reducing Company-Sensitive Details
Yayday is designed to help you record your work without turning the app into a storehouse of company-confidential details. When you add work text, Yayday reviews it for details that may be too specific — such as company names, customer names, internal project names, URLs, dollar amounts, IDs, and sensitive operational context — and helps convert it into safer, more general work evidence before saving. The same review runs on public profile copy before it is saved.
This review combines automatic detection with AI-assisted generalization. To do this, the text you enter may be processed using AI. In protected work-record flows, if the review cannot be completed, your text is not saved — so unreviewed work text is not stored in those flows.
This review reduces company-sensitive details; it does not guarantee that every sensitive detail is found or removed. Please continue to avoid entering information you are not allowed to store outside approved systems.
Some older records were created before this review was added. Yayday conservatively marks them as pending review, and you can revisit them over time to make them safer for reports and sharing.
7. Data Export and Account Deletion
You can manage your data from Settings.
Account deletion is available in Settings, and lets you remove your account and associated data. Data export is offered in Settings so you can take your records with you.
Some information may remain for a limited period in backups, security logs, or where retention is required by law, as described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Payments and Billing
If you subscribe to a paid plan, payments are processed through our third-party payment provider.
Yayday does not store your full payment card details directly; that information is handled by the payment provider. Yayday keeps limited subscription status information needed to manage your plan.
9. Safeguards and Honest Limits
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information, and access to user content is restricted to limited operational purposes.
We want to be honest rather than overstate this. No online service can promise perfect security, and we do not claim to be fully secure, risk-free, or unbreakable. You also play a role: keep your login credentials safe and be thoughtful about what you store and share.
