Privacy Policy

Last updated August 22, 2026

This page covers the privacy practices of the MYO family of 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your Yoto MYO library against a Google Drive backup folder you connect, so you always know which cards are missing or out of date.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 checks your library on your behalf without you needing to keep a tab open, 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.

MYO Trove

MYO Trove is a kid-friendly player for playlists a parent has 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 (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 your kid presses play.
Connection state, stored server-side. So you don't have to reconnect every hour, MYO Trove's backend securely stores a Google-issued token and which folder you picked, tied to your Google account's internal ID, not your name or email. It does not store a copy of your playlists' actual contents; those are fetched from Drive fresh each time.
A session cookie. A signed cookie in your browser lets MYO Trove recognize your device as "already connected" without asking you to sign in every visit. It doesn't contain your name, email, or any Google account details.
What stays on your device only. Kid profile names, play history, Parent Gate settings, 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. If you buy the optional paid tier through Ko-fi, Ko-fi sends FolkLoom the email address you paid with, used only to email you an activation code.

What none of the MYO Apps do

No analytics or tracking scripts, on any of the three.
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.

Children's privacy

Every MYO App is designed to be set up by a parent or guardian, not by a child. Connecting a Yoto or Google account requires signing in with an adult's own credentials, and none of the apps ask a child directly for their name or any other identifying information. In MYO Trove, a parent can optionally enter a kid's name when setting up a profile. That name is stored only in the browser's local storage on that device, never sent to MYO Trove's servers. MYO Trove also adds an optional "Parent Gate" (a simple math problem) in front of its Settings so a young child can't change the connection on their own.

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, which Drive folder you'd picked) from that app's server.
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.
