Privacy Policy

Last updated August 21, 2026

MYO Trove ("MYO Trove," "we," "us") is a kid-friendly player for playlists a parent has already made with Yoto's MYO ("Make Your Own") tools and backed up to Google Drive. This page explains what information MYO Trove touches when you use it, and what it doesn't.

The short version

MYO Trove only reads from the Google Drive folder you connect, to find and play your own backed-up playlists. It never uploads, edits, or deletes anything in your Drive, and it never keeps a copy of your audio, cover art, or track icons on our servers — every play streams directly from your Drive. MYO Trove has no connection to your Yoto account at all; it only ever talks to Google Drive. Nothing you do in MYO Trove is sold or used for advertising.

What MYO Trove accesses, and why

Your Google Drive folder. When you connect Drive, you sign in with Google and pick one folder using Google's own folder picker. MYO Trove requests read-only access to your Drive (it cannot create, edit, or delete anything there) so it can find each playlist subfolder and stream its audio, cover art, and track icons directly from Drive when your kid presses play.
Connection state, stored server-side. So you don't have to reconnect every hour, MYO Trove's backend securely stores a Google-issued token that lets it re-request access to your Drive folder on your behalf, along with which folder you picked. This is tied to your Google account's internal ID, not your name or email address — MYO Trove never asks Google for your email or profile information, only permission to read the one Drive folder you chose. It does not store a copy of your playlists' actual contents (audio, icons, or cover art); those are fetched from Drive fresh each time they're needed.
A session cookie. A signed cookie in your browser is what lets MYO Trove recognize your device as "already connected" without asking you to sign in again every visit. It doesn't contain your name, email, or any Google account details — just enough to look up your connection record above.

What stays on your device only

Some settings never leave your browser at all — MYO Trove has no server-side concept of them:

Kid profile names and which playlists are enabled for each one
Play history and where playback left off in each playlist
Parent Gate on/off and difficulty settings
Library sort order and other display preferences

These live in your browser's local storage on that one device. They aren't sent to our servers, and switching devices or clearing your browser data resets them.

What MYO Trove doesn't do

No analytics or tracking scripts.
No cookies other than the one first-party session cookie described above.
No advertising, and no use of your Google account information for advertising or tracking purposes, consistent with Google's API Services User Data Policy.
No selling or sharing of your information with third parties, beyond what's necessary for MYO Trove to function, described throughout this page.

Third-party services

MYO Trove relies on a few outside services to work, and your use of MYO Trove is also subject to their own privacy practices:

Google: sign-in and your connected Drive folder
Vercel: hosts MYO Trove and its backend functions
Neon: the database that stores the connection record described above

Children's privacy

MYO Trove is designed to be set up by a parent or guardian, not by a child. Connecting Google Drive requires signing in with an adult's own Google account, and the optional "Parent Gate" adds a math problem in front of Settings so a young child can't change the connection on their own. MYO Trove doesn't ask a child for their name or any other identifying information — the kid profile names a parent creates are stored only on that device, as described above, never on our servers.

Your control over your information

Disconnecting Google Drive from Settings immediately deletes your stored connection record (token and folder choice) from MYO Trove's server.
You can also revoke MYO Trove's access entirely at any time from your Google Account's third-party access settings.
Clearing your browser's site data for MYO Trove removes everything listed under "What stays on your device only" above.
To request a copy of, or deletion of, the small amount of server-side connection state described above, email hello@launchby.ai.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of MYO Trove after a change means you accept the updated policy.
