Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

These terms govern your use of In Your Note, Park FX, and any other software, websites, or services published by Stephen Jang — whether under his own name or under the YellowGrayFox brand (collectively, the “Apps”).

Publisher: Stephen Jang, an individual sole proprietor operating under the YellowGrayFox brand Effective date: June 7, 2026 Contact: yellowgrayfox@googlemail.com

1. Acceptance of these terms

By downloading, installing, or using any of the Apps, you agree to be bound by this combined Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, do not install or use the Apps.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Stephen Jang, an individual sole proprietor who publishes the Apps in his own name and under the YellowGrayFox brand (“I”, “me”, “my”). For the avoidance of doubt, “YellowGrayFox” is a trade name used by Stephen Jang and is not a separate legal entity; obligations and protections in these Terms run to and from Stephen Jang personally regardless of which name appears on a particular App, store listing, or website. The Apps are independently developed and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc., Google LLC, or any other third party whose trademarks may appear in the Apps.

2. License to use the Apps

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, I grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Apps on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. All other rights are reserved.

The Apple App Store’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”) also applies to your use of the Apps as a separate agreement between you and Apple. In the event of a conflict between the Apple EULA and these Terms, the Apple EULA controls only those matters expressly addressed by it; these Terms control all other matters.

You may not: (a) copy, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Apps except to the extent applicable law expressly permits; (b) rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Apps; (c) remove or alter any proprietary notices; or (d) use the Apps to develop a competing product.

3. Your Apple ID and your content

The Apps do not require you to create an account with me. Authentication, payment, and (where you opt in) cloud sync are performed through your Apple ID and Apple’s services.

You own your content. Notes, text, and other content you create in the Apps belong to you. I claim no ownership of your content. The Apps store your content locally on your device, and — only if you turn on iCloud sync — in your own private iCloud database (see Section 5).

You are solely responsible for the content you create, store, or sync through the Apps, and for keeping your own backups. I cannot recover content that you lose due to device loss, deletion, iCloud account changes, or your own actions.

4. Subscriptions, free trials, and billing

Some features of the Apps require a paid subscription (currently marketed as “In Your Note Premium”). The following terms are required by Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines and apply to every auto-renewing subscription offered through the Apps:

Auto-renewing subscription — please read.

I may change subscription prices, plans, free-trial eligibility, and the set of features offered on each plan from time to time. Price changes will not apply to your current paid period; for renewals, Apple will notify you of material price increases and ask for your consent where required.

The Apps may also include one-time, non-consumable in-app purchases (for example, the legacy “Ad-Free” upgrade). One-time purchases are non-refundable except as required by law or Apple’s refund policy.

5. iCloud sync

If you enable iCloud sync (a Premium feature), your notes are stored in your own private iCloud database under your Apple ID, using Apple’s CloudKit service. I do not operate a server that holds copies of your notes, and I cannot read, retrieve, or restore them.

iCloud sync is provided “as available.” Sync depends on Apple’s CloudKit infrastructure, your network connection, your iCloud account status, and your available iCloud storage. Outages, account suspensions, throttling, quota errors, or schema migrations may delay or prevent sync, and in rare cases may result in data loss or conflicts. By enabling sync you accept these risks and agree to keep independent backups of any content you cannot afford to lose.

6. Advertising (free tier)

The free tier of certain Apps displays advertising provided by Google AdMob. AdMob and its advertising partners may collect a limited amount of device and usage information — such as your device’s advertising identifier (only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission), coarse location, IP address, and ad-interaction events — to serve, measure, and improve ads. Google’s use of this data is governed by the Google Ads Privacy & Terms. Subscribing to Premium (or purchasing the legacy Ad-Free upgrade) removes ads.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Apps to: (a) violate any law or third-party right; (b) upload, store, or sync content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or harmful; (c) attempt to interfere with, disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the Apps or to Apple’s or Google’s services; (d) use the Apps in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair them; or (e) automate or scrape the Apps. I may suspend or terminate your access to paid features if I reasonably believe you are violating these Terms.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Apps are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I disclaim all warranties, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted or error-free operation, security, and that defects will be corrected.

You acknowledge that no software is free of defects and that the Apps may be temporarily unavailable, may contain bugs, and may interoperate imperfectly with third-party services such as iCloud, the App Store, or AdMob. Your use of the Apps is at your sole risk.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Stephen Jang or YellowGrayFox be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Apps, even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

My total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Apps will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid me through Apple for the App or subscription giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability, or (b) US$50.

These limitations apply to all claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in those jurisdictions, my liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Stephen Jang and YellowGrayFox from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Apps; (b) your content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

11. Termination and changes to the Apps

I may modify, suspend, or discontinue any App, feature, or subscription tier — in whole or in part — at any time, with or without notice. I will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes that would meaningfully reduce features you have paid for, and where required by law I will offer a pro-rated refund through Apple for the unused portion of a paid subscription period.

You may stop using the Apps at any time by deleting them from your device and cancelling any active subscription through your Apple ID settings.

12. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be the state and federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Georgia, and you and I each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws grant you additional rights, nothing in this section deprives you of those rights or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by emailing me at yellowgrayfox@googlemail.com with a clear description of the issue and the resolution you are seeking, and to allow at least 30 days for a response.

13. Privacy Policy

I respect your privacy. I am a solo developer and I run the Apps with as little data collection as I can.

Information you provide

You do not need to create an account with me to use the Apps. I do not ask you for, and I do not receive, your name, email address, phone number, payment information, or precise location.

Information processed locally on your device

Your notes, preferences, and other content you create are stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, that content is also stored in your own private iCloud database under your Apple ID. I have no access to it.

Information collected automatically

The Apps use the following third-party services that may process limited data on my behalf or on their own behalf:

What I do not do

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Because I hold almost no personal information about you, most of these rights are exercised by managing your device, your Apple ID, or your Google account directly. For anything else, email me at yellowgrayfox@googlemail.com and I will respond within 30 days.

Data retention

I keep data only as long as needed for the purpose I collected it, and then I delete or anonymize it. Anonymous Firebase analytics events are retained according to Google’s default retention windows.

International transfers

Apple and Google operate globally; data they process on my behalf may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries. Apple and Google maintain their own safeguards for international transfers (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).

14. Children’s privacy

The Apps are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided me with personal information, please contact me and I will delete it.

15. Changes to these terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. When I do, I will revise the “Effective date” at the top of this page. Material changes to the Privacy Policy will be highlighted in the App or on this page in advance of taking effect, where reasonably practicable. Your continued use of the Apps after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
