Private by design

YAWF Hub Privacy Policy

YAWF Hub is designed for local processing on your Mac. Effective date: July 16, 2026.

Data Collection

YAWF Hub does not track you, collect analytics, create user accounts, sell personal data, or automatically collect data linked to your identity.

Local App Data

YAWF Hub stores settings, Activity, saved actions, personal defaults, manual automation definitions, automation logs, and shelf information locally in the app data folder. Shelf information can include shelf names, colors, pin state, and item details. In the Mac App Store build, files and folders added to a shelf are copied into YAWF Hub's app-owned local storage so they remain available after relaunch. Text, links, and clipboard images added to a shelf are also staged as local files in the same app-owned storage. Activity remains until you clear Activity. App-owned shelf copies and clippings are removed when you remove or clear their shelf items. Other local data remains until you clear it with the relevant app control or remove YAWF Hub's local app data. Because the developer does not receive this data, there is no server-side profile or content to request for deletion.

User Content

Typed or pasted text, manually pasted clipboard images, and user-selected text, image, audio, video, PDF, archive, folder, and link content stay on your Mac. Shelves keep app-owned local copies without changing source files. Selected content is processed locally for supported text, media, document, archive, checksum, rename-copy, encoding, and structured-data operations. Content leaves YAWF Hub only when you explicitly copy or save an output, drag an item to another app, or choose a service from the macOS Share menu. A selected share service receives the items you chose under that service's own privacy terms. YAWF Hub does not upload shelf content to a developer server. Generated outputs are separate files in YAWF Hub's local app container or a location you explicitly select. Source files are not overwritten.

Offline Intelligence Beta

Offline Intelligence Beta is off by default. If you turn it on, YAWF Hub uses deterministic local routing to improve action results from words you enter and metadata already inspected for the selected input. It does not use a provider key, download a model, make a network request, or inspect content in the background. You can turn it off at any time, and every core workflow remains available while it is off.

Mac App Store Build

File access is limited by App Sandbox. The Mac App Store build reads only files you explicitly choose, drop, or paste, and writes generated output to its local app container or a location you explicitly choose. It does not require broad Downloads folder access.

Diagnostics

If YAWF Hub crashes, diagnostic text may be written locally to the app log or app data folder. YAWF Hub does not automatically transmit crash diagnostics. If the app notices that the previous session did not finish normally, it can offer a Report a Bug button. That button opens an email draft, but it does not add system information, files, logs, or diagnostics. Nothing is sent unless you review the draft and choose Send.

Support Messages

If you choose Send in your email app, the developer receives the email address, message, and any material you choose to include. Support messages are used only to respond to and troubleshoot your request. They are not sold, used for tracking, or used for advertising. They are kept only as long as reasonably needed to resolve the request or meet legal and security obligations. You can request deletion at apple@tgk30.com.
