Your privacy

Last updated 6 October 2026

YEUX counts taps, not people. The app has no account, and never asks for your name, email or location. You can switch the counting off in Settings and it stops straight away. The only place we ever hold an email address is the launch waitlist on this website, and only if you give it to us.

Who we are

YEUX is made by Elliot Somerville-Baddeley, an individual based in the UK. He is the data controller for the information described here: he decides how it is used and is responsible for looking after it.

The app

What we collect

If "Share anonymous usage" is on (it is by default, and the app tells you so the first time you open it), the app sends our server a short list of things you did, such as:

you opened the app
you opened an artwork's "See more" panel, or viewed it full screen
you saved or un-saved an artwork, or tapped share (we record which artwork, using its public catalogue number)
you turned the daily notification on or off
how far back through recent days you scrolled

Each batch carries a random ID that the app makes for itself the first time you open it, plus the app version, your iPhone's iOS version and your language setting (for example "en-GB").

What we don't collect

Your name, email address, phone number or contacts. If you type your name into Settings, it stays on your phone.
Your location, even roughly.
Your Apple advertising ID or device ID.
What you type, or your list of saved artworks. Saves stay on your phone.
Your IP address. We don't store it.

We don't sell, rent or share this information with anyone, and the app contains no third-party analytics or advertising software.

Why

To learn whether people come back to YEUX, and which artworks people love, so we can choose better ones. That's all it's used for. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in understanding how the app is used, which is why it's anonymous, minimal, and easy to switch off.

Notifications

The daily reminder is scheduled on your phone. We don't send it from a server and hold no notification token.

The waitlist

If you join the waitlist on this website, we store your email address, the date you joined and which form you used (for example, the one at the top of the page). Nothing else: not your name, and not your IP address.

We use it for one thing: to email you when YEUX launches, and about getting the app. Our lawful basis is your consent, which you give by joining. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to remove you at any time by writing to support@yeuxdaily.art. We'll delete the whole list within six months of launch.

The website

This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no advertising. Its fonts are served from our own site, not Google's. Our website host, Vercel, keeps standard server logs (which include IP addresses) for a short time to keep the site secure and working. We don't use them to identify anyone.

Where it's kept, and for how long

App usage and the waitlist are stored in our own database, hosted by Railway in the United States. Railway handles it only on our instructions, under its data processing agreement.
Usage events are deleted after 13 months.
The waitlist is deleted within six months of launch, or straight away for anyone who asks.
Artwork images are served from our own storage (images.yeuxdaily.art, run by Cloudflare). Loading them tells Cloudflare what any website would learn from a visit; we don't keep it.

Your choices and rights

Turn off usage counting any time: Settings, then Privacy, then "Share anonymous usage". Anything waiting to be sent is deleted.
Delete the app: the random ID goes with it, and a reinstall starts a new, unrelated one.
Leave the waitlist: use the unsubscribe link, or email us.
Ask us: you have the right to see, correct or delete information we hold about you, and to object to how we use it. Because the app's ID is random and not linked to you, we usually can't tell which app data is yours, but write to support@yeuxdaily.art and we'll look.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Children

YEUX isn't aimed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top, and say so in the app.
