Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 14, 2026

YBook ("we", "us", "our") operates a multi-tenant appointment booking platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service at ybook.app (the "Platform").

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign in via WorkOS (Google or Microsoft OAuth), we receive your name and email address. You may optionally provide a phone number in your account settings.

Booking Information

When you book an appointment, we collect the date, time, services selected, and any responses to custom booking form fields set by the business. Guest bookings collect your name, email, and phone number.

Customer Records

Business owners may create customer records that include visit history, tags, and notes. This data is managed by the individual business and visible only to that business's team.

Reviews

If you leave a review after an appointment, we store your star rating and comment. Reviews may be displayed publicly on the business's landing page, depending on the business owner's settings.

Inventory & Rental Data

If a business uses inventory tracking, checkout/return records, item condition, and any damage notes are stored in connection with your appointment.

Automatically Collected Information

We collect IP addresses and user agent strings for security purposes. This information is stored in audit logs to detect and prevent unauthorized access.

Cookies

We use a single cookie called session_token to keep you signed in. It is an httpOnly, SameSite=lax cookie with a 30-day expiry. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics cookies.
