Effective Date: March 28, 2025
Last Updated: March 28, 2025
Welcome to Yoshka.ai ("Yoshka.ai," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://beta.yoshka.ai/ (the "Site") and use our AI-powered code generation services (the "Service"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Site or use the Service.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Site and Service includes:
a. Personal Data:
While using the Beta version, direct collection of personally identifiable information (like name or email) might be limited unless you explicitly provide it (e.g., through feedback forms or future account registration). If account registration is implemented, we may collect your name, email address, username, password, and other details you provide.
b. User Input Data:
Prompts and Instructions: We collect the text prompts, descriptions, code snippets, instructions, and any other content you submit to the Service to generate code ("User Input"). User Input may potentially contain sensitive or proprietary information if you include it. You are solely responsible for the content of your User Input.
c. Generated Output Data:
We process User Input to generate code suggestions, completions, or entire code blocks ("Generated Output"). We may retain logs related to the generation process but strive to minimize retention of the specific Generated Output linked directly to your session or account, subject to operational needs and Section 2 below.
d. Derivative Data / Usage Information:
Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Site or use the Service, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Site, interactions with the Service features, error logs, and other diagnostic data related to your use of the Service.
e. Cookies and Tracking Technologies:
We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site and Service to help customize and improve your experience. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Site or Service.
2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Having accurate information permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Site or Service to:
- Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Site and Service.
- Process your User Input and generate the requested Generated Output.
We will NOT use your specific User Input or Generated Output to train our AI models, except potentially in an aggregated and fully anonymized form where individual inputs are not identifiable.
- Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the Site and Service.
- Diagnose technical problems and maintain security.
- Respond to your comments, questions, and provide customer support (if applicable).
- Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages (if you provide contact information).
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:
a. By Law or to Protect Rights:
If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
b. Third-Party Service Providers:
We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including data hosting (e.g., cloud providers), analytics, error tracking, and potentially payment processing (if applicable in the future). These third-party service providers will have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
c. Business Transfers:
We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
d. Aggregated or Anonymized Data:
We may share aggregated or anonymized/de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for various purposes, including research, analytics, or reporting.
e. With Your Consent:
We may disclose your information for other purposes with your consent.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. DATA SECURITY
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to help protect your information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide information. You are responsible for safeguarding any credentials used to access the Service.
5. DATA RETENTION
We will retain your information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including providing the Service, improving the AI models (as described in Section 2), complying with our legal obligations (e.g., if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolving disputes, and enforcing our legal agreements and policies. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.
6. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Your information, including Personal Data and User Input, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from your jurisdiction.
