Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 15, 2026
1 Who we are
Yuri ("we", "our", or "us") is a knowledge assistant. You send it a link — on Telegram, through the browser extension, or from the website — and it reads that link, files it, and helps you find it later. This policy explains what we collect, why, who sees it, and what you can ask us to do.

2 What we collect
2.1 Data you give us
- Account. Your email. If you sign in with Google, your name and picture from Google. If you sign in with Telegram, your Telegram user id, username, and picture. We do not store a password for Google or Telegram sign-in.
- Links you save. The addresses you send Yuri, plus any title, tags, or notes that belong to them.
- Language. The language you pick for Yuri, and whether you want what Yuri writes about a link translated.
- Support mail. Anything you send to us by email.
2.2 Data we generate
- Library files. Transcripts, explanations, summaries, tags, and the other notes Yuri writes about a saved link, so you can search and ask later.
- Subscription records. Your plan, whether it is active, and when the current period ends.
- Usage metadata. Timestamps, command types, and error logs used to keep the service up. Message content is not written into those logs.
2.3 Data collected automatically
If you accept analytics cookies (section 6), we see which pages on this website people open — browser and device type, pages viewed, and a rough location from IP. Nothing in that set is stored unless you accept.
3 Why we process it, and the legal basis
Where the GDPR applies, this is the basis we rely on:
| What | Why | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Run your account and library | The service you signed up for | Contract — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Read a link you saved and write notes about it | Core function of Yuri | Contract — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Take payment and keep the subscription | Billing | Contract — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Send the activation email | So you can open the account | Contract — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Analytics cookies | See which pages people find useful | Consent — Art. 6(1)(a), withdrawable at any time |
| Keep the service up, stop abuse, debug | A working product | Legitimate interests — Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Comply with the law | Tax, accounting, a lawful request | Legal obligation — Art. 6(1)(c) |
We do not use your content to train our own models, run advertising, or build a profile to sell. We do not sell your data.
4 Who we share it with
We do not share your data with third parties for their marketing. These processors handle it only on our instructions:
| Provider | What it does | Data |
|---|---|---|
| OpenRouter | Large language models that read a saved link and write the notes | The link and the text or media needed to process it |
| Apify | Reads public posts from Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok | The public URL you saved |
| Cloudflare R2 | Stores your library files | Saved links, notes, and any downloaded media |
| Stripe | Payments | Email and payment details Stripe needs to charge you |
| Sign-in, if you pick it | Email, name, picture | |
| Telegram | The bot, and sign-in if you pick it | Messages you send the bot, and your Telegram identity |
| Brevo | The activation email | Your email and the code |
| PostHog | Website analytics — only if you accept cookies | Pages viewed, device, a rough location |
We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or if Yuri is sold, in which case we will tell you before your data sits under a different policy.
5 How long we keep it
Your library and account stay for as long as the account is active. You can send individual items to the bin, download a JSON list of your links from Settings → Privacy, or email us to delete the account. After an account is deleted we remove personal data within 30 days, except where the law says we have to keep a record (for example a payment).
The JSON file is the list of links, not the transcripts or media. Importing it saves those links again, and Yuri reads them the usual way.
6 Cookies
Strictly necessary. We use cookies and similar storage to keep you signed in and to remember the theme you picked. These run the site. They do not need a separate yes.
Analytics. If you accept, PostHog sets cookies so we can see which pages people find useful. Nothing in that set is written unless you press Accept on the banner. You can change your mind from Cookie preferences in the footer, or from Settings → Privacy. Rejecting does not change how Yuri files your links.
Language. If you pick a language we do not ship ourselves, Google Translate may set a googtrans cookie so the page stays in that language. That only happens after you choose it.
7 Browser extension
The Yuri browser extension adds a save button to posts. When you click it, the extension sends that post's address to Yuri, which saves it to your library exactly as it would a link you sent on Telegram. It reads the address of a post only when you choose to save it, and reads nothing else on the pages you visit.
To save as you, the extension needs your permission. The first time you use it, a Yuri page opens and asks whether you want to let it in, and nothing is shared until you say yes. What it receives is a session for your own account, which stays in your browser and is only ever sent back to Yuri as the credential for your own saves. You can take it back at any time with Disconnect in the extension. The extension sends nothing to anyone else, and shows no advertising.
8 Your rights under GDPR
If you are in the EEA or the UK you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you, and receive a copy;
- rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
- erase your data;
- restrict processing in certain circumstances;
- data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format (the JSON export in Settings is one way);
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting what we did before you withdrew it;
- not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Yuri reads links you save and writes notes. That is automated, but it does not decide anything about you — it does not score you, refuse you a plan, or send an assessment to anyone else.
To exercise a right, write to privacy@tuaregsai.com. We respond within one month. We may ask you to verify who you are. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence or workplace.
9 Your rights in the United States
Residents of states with a comprehensive privacy law — including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota and Maryland — have the right to know, access, delete, and correct personal information; to opt out of sale and of sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising; and not to be treated worse for exercising a right.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Write to privacy@tuaregsai.com. You may use an authorised agent; we will ask for proof of authorisation. California residents may also request details under the "Shine the Light" law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83).
10 Security
We use encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access to production systems is restricted. Libraries are separated by account so one person's files are not served as another's. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify the relevant authority as required and tell you when the risk is high.
11 Children
Yuri is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If we learn that we have, we delete it. If you believe a child has given us data, write to us and we will remove it.
12 Changes
We may update this policy as the product evolves. The "Last updated" date above is the current version. When a change is material we will tell active users on Telegram.
