Privacy Policy for Dr. Yippy
Effective Date: May 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Dr. Yippy, developed by Jason Burns ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the Dr. Yippy Apple Watch application and any associated services.
Our core commitment to your privacy is simple: We use gathered information solely to improve our app and for our own internal marketing. We absolutely do not sell any customer data to third parties.
1. Information We Collect
To provide you with the best experience on the course, we may collect the following types of information:
Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the app, such as the frequency of your sessions, preferred haptic rhythm intervals (1 to 5 seconds), and general app performance.
Device Information: Basic details about the device running the app (such as your Apple Watch model and watchOS version) to ensure optimal UI contrast and performance.
Contact Information: If you choose to contact support, provide feedback, or opt-in to our communications, we may collect your name, email address, and any contents of your message.
(Note: Dr. Yippy is a tactile pattern-interrupt tool designed to assist with focus and sports performance. It does not collect sensitive biometric, medical, or HealthKit data such as heart rate or activity rings unless you explicitly grant iOS permissions for a specific feature.)
2. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used strictly for internal purposes to ensure Dr. Yippy effectively helps you silence the yips. Specifically, we use it to:
Operate, maintain, and improve the app’s performance and haptic features.
Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries.
Conduct internal marketing. We may use your contact and usage information to occasionally notify you about new features, updates, or related services we offer.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Your trust is our priority. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or usage data to any third parties. We only share information under the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: We may use trusted third-party services (such as hosting platforms or internal analytics tools) to help us operate our app and marketing efforts. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are permitted to use your data only to perform services on our behalf.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable and industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
5. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:
Access the personal information we hold about you.
Request the correction or deletion of your data.
Opt-out of receiving internal marketing communications from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages.
6. Governing Law
This Privacy Policy and our data practices are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
