Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Yes No Oracle ("we", "us", or "our") collects when you visit https://yesnooracle.dev (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. We have designed this Site so that the personal data we collect directly stays on your own device. We also use a small number of third-party services for analytics and advertising, and this policy describes exactly what they do.

1. Summary

  • The questions you type into our tools are processed and saved only in your own browser (using your browser's local storage). They are never sent to our servers.
  • We do not require accounts, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or payment details to use the tools.
  • We use Google Analytics to understand how the Site is used, in aggregate.
  • We display advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
  • You can control or delete all locally stored data at any time through your browser, and you can opt out of personalized advertising through the links in Section 6.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information stored on your device (not sent to us)

Our tools are interactive: the questions you ask, the answers you receive, and your recently asked questions are generated and stored locally in your browser using the browser's local storage feature. This includes:

  • The questions you type into the oracle and related tools;
  • The answers those tools returned;
  • A "daily question" recommendation saved so it stays consistent during your visit day.

This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to us. If you clear your browser data or use the in-app "Clear History" control, it is permanently deleted from your device.

2.2 Analytics information (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are most visited, how long visits last, and what country visitors are from. Google Analytics collects information such as:

  • Pages viewed and the order in which they were viewed;
  • Approximate location (country/city level, derived from IP address);
  • Browser type, device type, and operating system;
  • How you arrived at the Site (referring site or search engine).

This data is sent to Google and stored by Google on our behalf. We only see aggregate reports and cannot use it to identify individual visitors.

2.3 Advertising information (Google AdSense)

We display advertising on the Site through Google AdSense to keep the tools free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites. This allows Google and its partners to show you ads that are more relevant to you.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet. This processing is subject to Google's own privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. The Site uses cookies in the following ways:

  • Strictly functional storage: local storage entries (described in Section 2.1) that keep your questions and history on your own device. These are not cookies and are not readable by other websites.
  • Analytics cookies: set by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors and sessions (for example the _ga cookie). These typically last up to 24 months.
  • Advertising cookies: set by Google AdSense and its certified partners to serve and measure ads, and, where you have consented, to personalize them. These typically last up to 24 months.

You can remove or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking advertising or analytics cookies will not prevent you from using any of our tools.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its tools;
  • Understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used so we can improve content and performance;
  • Display advertising that funds the free tools;
  • Protect the Site against fraud, abuse, and automated attacks;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your questions to build advertising profiles — they never leave your browser.

5. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent: for personalized advertising cookies, where required. You may withdraw consent at any time via the ad settings links in Section 6 or your browser settings.
  • Legitimate interests: for aggregate analytics and to keep the Site secure and free of charge, balanced against your rights and expectations.

6. Your Choices and Rights

Advertising and analytics opt-outs

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or other applicable laws), you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you;
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data;
  • Object to or restrict certain processing;
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights;
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Because we do not maintain user accounts or databases of personal information, most requests can be satisfied simply by clearing your browser data (Section 2.1). For anything else, contact us at [email protected] and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

7. Data Sharing

We share information only with the following categories of recipients:

  • Google LLC (Google Analytics and Google AdSense), as described in Sections 2.2 and 2.3;
  • Infrastructure providers that host and deliver the Site's static files (for example, our hosting provider and content delivery network), which may process technical request data such as IP addresses and user agents as part of serving the Site and protecting it from abuse;
  • Authorities, where we are legally required to disclose information.

We do not otherwise disclose, sell, or rent your personal information to anyone.

8. Data Retention

Locally stored tool data (questions, answers, history) remains on your device until you delete it or clear your browser storage. Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention settings for our property (currently up to 14 months). Advertising cookies last no longer than described in Section 3. Server request logs held by our hosting and CDN providers are retained only for short operational periods, typically days to weeks.

9. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

10. Security

The Site is served exclusively over HTTPS. Because sensitive personal information is not collected or stored on our servers, the risks associated with using the Site are limited. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we and our providers apply industry-standard measures to protect the Site and its visitors.

11. International Transfers

Our infrastructure and service providers (including Google) may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses put in place by our processors.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
