Privacy Policy

Last updated September 15, 2026

This page covers the privacy practices of the MYO apps: MYO Sync, MYO Trove, and FolkLoom (together "the MYO Apps," "we," "us"), all built by Launchby.ai to work with Yoto's MYO ("Make Your Own") tools. Each app requests different permissions for a different purpose, so this page explains what each one accesses and why, followed by what's true of all three.

The short version

Each MYO App only reads and writes the specific things described in its own section below, nothing more. None of them sell your information, use it for advertising, or share it between each other beyond what's necessary for each app to work. If you use more than one MYO App, each one still only ever touches your Yoto and/or Google Drive accounts on its own terms, described separately below.

What each app accesses, and why

MYO Sync

MYO Sync compares your Yoto MYO library against a Google Drive backup folder you connect, so you always know which cards are missing or out of date.

Your Yoto login. MYO Sync uses Yoto's own login page (you never enter your Yoto password into MYO Sync itself). Because MYO Sync's server does the comparison when you open the app, the resulting token is stored on MYO Sync's own server, not just in your browser. The permissions requested are read-only: MYO Sync can't create, edit, or delete anything in your Yoto library, only read your card titles, chapters, tracks, and when each card was last updated.
Your Google Drive folder. When you connect Drive, you pick one folder using Google's own folder picker. MYO Sync requests read-only access, and only ever looks inside the folder you picked, to see which cards already have a backup there and whether that backup matches your Yoto library. It never uploads, edits, deletes, or creates anything in your Drive.
Connection state, stored server-side. So you don't have to reconnect every time, MYO Sync's backend stores your Yoto and Google sign-in tokens and which Drive folder you picked. It does not store a copy of your library's contents, audio, icons, or cover art. Every check reads directly from Yoto and Drive at the time you open the app or click Refresh; nothing runs in the background. Stored connection information expires after 45 days without use.
Basic usage counts. MYO Sync logs when a Yoto or Drive connection is made, refreshed, or disconnected, with the time and a random ID for your browser, only to count how many people use it. No name, email, Yoto account details, or library information.
Two cookies. A session cookie that links your connections to your browser (30 days, unreadable by page scripts), and the random browser ID used for usage counts (about two years, no personal information).

Full details: MYO Sync's own privacy page.

MYO Trove

MYO Trove is an audio player for playlists you've already made with Yoto's MYO tools and backed up to Google Drive. It has no connection to your Yoto account at all. It only ever talks to Google Drive.

Your Google Drive folder. When you connect Drive, you sign in with Google and pick one folder using Google's own folder picker. MYO Trove requests read-only access to your Drive (it cannot create, edit, or delete anything there) so it can find each playlist subfolder and stream its audio, cover art, and track icons directly from Drive when you press play. Choosing a folder limits what the app loads, not the permission Google grants.
Connection state, stored server-side. So you don't have to reconnect every hour, MYO Trove's backend stores an encrypted Google-issued token and the ID and name of the folder you picked, tied to your Google account's internal ID, not your name or email. A short-lived access token is held in browser memory for downloads and the folder picker, never saved to browser storage. It does not store a copy of your playlists' actual contents; those are fetched from Drive fresh each time.
Cookies. A signed session cookie lets MYO Trove recognize your device as "already connected" without asking you to sign in every visit. It contains your Google account's internal ID and a random device-session ID, but no name, email, or Google access token, and expires after 30 days. A separate temporary cookie, lasting up to ten minutes, protects the Google connection flow.
Basic app usage. When a connected device opens the app, MYO Trove may record a timestamp tied to your Google account's internal ID, at most once per device session per hour, to count how many people use it. No profile names, playlist titles, or listening activity.
What stays on your device only. Profile names, play history, Settings lock preferences, and display preferences live in your browser's local storage and are never sent to MYO Trove's servers.

FolkLoom

FolkLoom turns public-domain audio into Yoto cards, searching Internet Archive's LibriVox catalog and publishing straight to your Yoto library.

Your Yoto login. FolkLoom uses Yoto's own login page. The resulting access token is stored only in your browser's local storage. FolkLoom's server never sees or stores it.
Your Yoto library. FolkLoom uses write access to create the playlists you choose to import, and reads your existing library once per session to flag titles you've already imported.
Search terms. Your search text is sent to Internet Archive's public search API to find matching LibriVox recordings. It isn't linked to your identity.
A record of your imports, and, if you buy the paid tier, your email. FolkLoom's server stores one row per import (an opaque Yoto account identifier, the title, and when) to enforce its free-tier limit, and uses those same rows to count overall usage. If you buy the optional paid tier through Ko-fi, Ko-fi sends FolkLoom the email address you paid with, which is stored with your activation code and purchase amount so the code can be emailed to you and redeemed once.

Full details: FolkLoom's own privacy page.

What none of the MYO Apps do

No third-party analytics or tracking scripts, on any of the three. The basic first-party usage counts each app keeps are described in its section above.
No advertising, and no use of your Yoto or Google account information for advertising or tracking purposes, consistent with Yoto's API Guidelines and Google's API Services User Data Policy.
No selling of your information, and no sharing it with third parties beyond what's necessary for the app you're using to function, described above.
No sharing of your data between the three MYO Apps themselves: each app's server-side storage, described above, is separate.

Google user data

MYO Sync and MYO Trove use Google Drive data only to provide the features described in their sections above.

The MYO Apps' use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
No person at Launchby.ai reads your Drive files, unless you ask us to for support, it's needed for security or to comply with the law, or the data has been aggregated and anonymized.
Google user data is never used to develop, improve, or train AI or machine learning models.
Google user data is never sold, used for advertising, or used to determine credit-worthiness or for lending.

Who the MYO Apps are for

The MYO Apps are intended to be set up and managed by adults.

Your control over your information

Disconnecting Yoto and/or Google Drive from any MYO App's own Settings immediately deletes that app's corresponding stored tokens (and, where applicable, your connected Drive folder) from that app's server. In MYO Trove this also deletes its device sessions and usage timestamps, on all devices. In MYO Sync, the last folder you picked is kept for up to 45 days so the folder picker can reopen there if you reconnect.
You can also revoke any MYO App's access entirely at any time from your Yoto account's connected-apps settings, or your Google Account's third-party access settings.
To request a copy of, or deletion of, the server-side information any MYO App stores about you, email hello@launchby.ai and mention which app(s).

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of a MYO App after a change means you accept the updated policy.
