Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

Notes Expert is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe your notes and voice recordings are personal, and we've designed our app to keep them that way.

Voice Recordings & Transcription

Your voice recordings never leave your device. Notes Expert uses on-device speech recognition to transcribe your voice recordings. This means:

• All speech-to-text processing happens locally on your iPhone or iPad
• Audio files are stored only in your app's private storage
• No audio data is ever sent to our servers or any third-party service for transcription
• When you delete a recording, it is permanently removed from your device

Data Storage

Your notes and data are stored in the following ways:

• Local Storage: All notes, recordings, and app data are stored locally on your device using Apple's secure SwiftData framework
• iCloud Sync (Optional): If you enable iCloud sync, your notes are synced through your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit. This data is encrypted and protected by Apple's security measures. We do not have access to your iCloud data.

AI Features (Pro)

When you use AI-powered features like summaries or note improvements:

• Only the text content of notes you explicitly choose to summarize or improve is processed
• We use industry-standard encryption for any data transmission
• We do not store or use your content to train AI models
• Voice recordings are never sent for AI processing - only text transcriptions

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

• Account Information: If you subscribe to Pro, Apple handles all payment processing. We receive only a transaction identifier, not your payment details.
• Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app. This data cannot identify you personally.
• Crash Reports: If the app crashes, we may receive anonymous diagnostic information to help fix issues.

What We Don't Do

• We don't sell your data to third parties
• We don't use your content for advertising
• We don't share your notes or recordings with anyone
• We don't track you across other apps or websites

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

• Delete any note or recording at any time
• Export your data through iOS sharing features
• Disable iCloud sync to keep data only on your device
• Delete the app to remove all local data
