Privacy Policy

Last updated September 14, 2026

MYO Trove ("MYO Trove," "we," "us") is provided by LaunchBy.ai LLC. It 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 uses 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 track is downloaded directly from Drive into your browser when needed. 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 entire Drive (it cannot create, edit, or delete anything there) so it can discover the selected folder's playlist subfolders and download their audio, cover art, and track icons directly from Drive when your kid presses play. The Google permission allows reading and downloading all accessible Drive files; choosing a folder limits what the app normally loads, not the permission Google grants.
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 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. A short-lived access token is held in browser memory for direct downloads and Google Picker; it is not saved in browser storage. 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 contains your Google account's internal ID and a random device-session ID, but no name, email or Google access token. It expires after 30 days. The server checks that the device session is still valid on each protected request. A separate temporary cookie, lasting up to ten minutes, protects the Google connection flow.
Basic app usage. When a connected device opens the app, we may record a timestamp tied to the parent's Google account's internal ID, limited to one event per device session per hour. This helps us understand how many households use MYO Trove. These records contain no child profile name, playlist title, track information or listening activity. Connection records, device-session records and usage timestamps are retained until you disconnect or request deletion; expired device sessions no longer authorize access.
Subscriptions and payments. If you subscribe, checkout and billing are handled by our reseller and Merchant of Record, Paddle.com. You give your name, email address, and payment details to Paddle, not to MYO Trove, and MYO Trove never sees or stores your card details. To connect a subscription to your MYO Trove account, we store Paddle's customer and subscription identifiers, your plan, its status, and its billing dates, tied to your Google account's internal ID. We also keep your trial start and end dates so a trial can't restart. Subscription and trial records are kept when you disconnect Google Drive so your trial or paid access isn't lost, and minimal payment records may be retained where accounting, tax, or fraud-prevention obligations require it.

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. Profiles and play history are separated by the connected Google account. Removing a profile also deletes that profile's saved play history on this device.

What MYO Trove doesn't do

No third-party analytics or advertising scripts. The first-party usage recording is described above.
MYO Trove sets only the first-party session and temporary connection cookies described above.
No advertising, and no use of your Google account information for advertising or third-party profiling, 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
Paddle: checkout, payments, tax, and subscription billing, if you subscribe

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 after the request succeeds, together with its device sessions and usage timestamps. This disconnects that account from MYO Trove on all devices. Local profiles and history remain on their respective devices.
Disconnecting MYO Trove does not revoke Google's shared app permission. You can revoke that permission from your Google Account's third-party access settings; because MYO Trove and MYO Sync share a Google project, doing so may disconnect both apps. Already issued access tokens may remain valid until they expire or Google revokes them.
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.
