Privacy Policy

For YNO AI Chat App

How we handle your data for free users:

• All of your data, including API keys, chat history, and chat messages, are stored locally on your browser (using Local Storage).
• The entire app is a static website; we don't have a backend server to collect data to the server side.
• When you send a message on www.yno.ai the website sends a request to OpenAI API endpoints using the API key you provided.
• Requests are sent directly from your browser to OpenAI's server using secured transport protocol HTTPS. There is no middle server and no one else can see the requests, responses and their content.
• For Anthropic models, requests are proxied through YNO AI proxy server to Anthropic's server. This is because Anthropic doesn't support direct request from your browser. We don't log and store any data from the requests. The proxy server purely forwards your request to Anthropic's server and does nothing else. For maximum privacy, you can setup your own proxy server for Anthropic models by going to the Setting panel (click the gear icon) → Advanced Settings → Anthropic Chat Completions Endpoint.
• There is strictly no external JavaScript run on YNO AI.
