Yalla HomesPrivacy Policy
Yalla Homes ("Yalla") is a marketplace app for second-hand furniture, run by Autono Holdings Inc. ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
What we collect
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your name, email address and profile photo | To create your account and show who a listing or message is from |
| Listings you post: photos, description, size, price and the area you choose | To show your listing to buyers |
| Messages and photos you send in chat | To deliver them to the other person and keep a record of the order |
| Orders: what was bought, when, and for how much | To run the order and show your history |
| A delivery address and phone number, if you book delivery | So the movers can bring the piece to you |
| Room photos and room measurements you add | To suggest pieces that fit and to make previews of them in your room |
| A notification address for your phone | To send you notifications about messages and orders |
We do not collect your precise location. You choose an area from a list. We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we do not sell your information.
Your room photos and AI
Room photos are private to you. Other people on Yalla never see them. To suggest pieces and to make a picture of them in your room, we send your room photo, and the sellers' photos of the pieces, to our AI provider, OpenAI. The app tells you this before you add a room photo. You can delete a room, and everything made from it, at any time in Profile → Rooms and photos.
The camera
If you use the camera to measure a piece or a room, the measuring happens on your phone. The camera view is not sent to us. Only the measurements you choose to save are stored.
Who helps us run Yalla
We share information with these companies only so they can provide their service to us:
- Clerk: sign-in, your name, email and profile photo.
- Convex: our database and photo storage, hosted in the European Union.
- OpenAI: suggestions and room previews, as described above.
- Apple: delivering push notifications.
Other people on Yalla can see your name, profile photo, your listings and the area you chose for them. A buyer sees a pickup address only after paying. Movers see the addresses and phone number needed for a delivery you booked.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect people's safety.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is open. When you delete something, such as a listing or a room, we remove it from the app. We may keep order records for as long as the law requires.
Your choices
- Edit your name and profile photo in Profile → Edit profile.
- Delete room photos in Profile → Rooms and photos.
- Turn notifications off in your iPhone's Settings.
- Ask for a copy of your information, or ask us to delete your account, by emailing support@yallahomes.dev.
Children
Yalla is not for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
