Privacy Policy
Effective: July 3, 2026 / Last updated: July 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes how YokkoLab (operated by Satoshi Yokokawa) (the "Operator", "we") handles user information in the mobile application "Pointia" (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to this Policy.
The App obtains location only at the moment you tap "Save" and does not continuously track your location in the background.
1. Information We Collect
- Location: only when you create a save point or tap "current location".
- Photos: only when you optionally attach a photo to a save point (Premium feature).
- Display name and adventurer icon: values you configure.
- Anonymous Firebase Auth uid: automatically issued at first launch; optionally linked to Google or Apple ID.
- Push notification token: a device identifier used to deliver party notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging).
- Diagnostic and usage logs: crash reports, in-app events, device model, OS version, etc.
- Invite codes and party IDs: identifiers used to determine which parties you belong to, stored on our servers.
- Location coordinates for map display: coordinates are sent to Mapbox APIs to render the map and display addresses (reverse geocoding). See the Mapbox privacy policy for details.
2. Purpose of Use
- To display your save points on the map and let you look back on your history.
- To let you share save points with fellow members who join a party by invite code.
- To deliver push notifications (new saves and invitations).
- To detect issues early and improve features.
- For quality improvement of the App and for support responses.
3. Information Shared With Other Users
When you save with a party as a destination, members of that party can view your save points (coordinates, time, adventurer icon, display name, notes, photos). Save points recorded only to "My Records" are not shared with other users.
4. Handling of Location Data
- Location is obtained only when you tap "Save" or "current location".
- No background location acquisition is performed.
- You can revoke the location permission at any time from within the App or your device settings.
5. Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services. Each processes information under its own privacy policy.
- Firebase (Authentication / Firestore / Cloud Functions / Storage / Cloud Messaging / Analytics / Crashlytics / App Check) — Google LLC
- Sign in with Apple — Apple Inc.
- Google Sign-In — Google LLC
- Mapbox (map rendering, reverse geocoding) — Mapbox, Inc.
- RevenueCat (subscription management, planned) — RevenueCat, Inc.
6. Retention and Deletion
Your save history and party data are stored in Firebase while you retain your account. Using the in-app account deletion feature will delete all of your data that we hold. When you leave a party, your member info and any shared saves tied to that party are deleted.
7. Security Measures
We protect user information with industry-standard measures such as encrypted communication (HTTPS), Firestore security rules, and App Check verification.
8. International Transfers
Data may be processed on the servers of providers we use (such as Google) outside your country. In such cases, appropriate protective measures apply.
9. Children's Use
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect information from such children.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your region, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your data, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, please contact us below.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Policy as needed. Revised versions take effect when posted on this page.
