What we ask Yoto for

Yoto's sign-in screen lists what an app could do. Here's what we actually do.

Screen-free Answering Machine would like to:

1. 1 Access your Yoto account details, including email address, region and language
2. 2 View and access your Make Your Own content
3. 3 View, create, edit and delete Make Your Own content
4. 4 View basic information about your family, including your players, family members and their emails
5. 5 Retain access to your account even when you're not actively using this app

Decline Accept

1. 1

   Access your Yoto account details, including email address, region and language

   We don't ask for this one; Yoto adds it. The only account detail we read is your email, and that comes through number 4.

2. 2

   View and access your Make Your Own content

   We read only the tapes we made, so we never overwrite changes you make to them in the Yoto app. If you pick an existing card, we list your cards once.

3. 3

   View, create, edit and delete Make Your Own content

   We make a playlist for each tape and add messages to it. Nothing else is touched, and nothing is deleted unless you ask.

4. 4

   View basic information about your family, including your players, family members and their emails

   This is how we get your email, to remind you before your trial ends and to reply if you contact us. We don't look at your players or your family settings.

5. 5

   Retain access to your account even when you're not actively using this app

   So messages reach the answering machine while you're away.

We never control your players, and your recordings stay in your own Yoto library. More in our privacy notice.
