Privacy Policy

Local Voice Notes (the "App") is developed by David Balderston ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the App uses and how it is handled.

What We Collect

We do not require an account and we do not run our own backend that receives your recordings, transcripts, or notes. We do not sell your personal information.

Your Content Stays On Your Device

Audio recordings, transcripts, summaries, titles, tags, and other note metadata are stored locally on your device. You can delete notes at any time from within the App.

Speech Recognition

The App uses Apple speech recognition frameworks to create transcripts. Depending on your device, language, and system settings, speech recognition may be processed on-device and/or by Apple. We do not receive your audio or transcripts.

Summaries And Other AI Features

The App generates summaries using Apple on-device language model capabilities when available. If on-device models are unavailable, the App may fall back to a local, non-AI summary method. We do not send your note content to our own servers for summary generation.

In-App Purchases

Subscriptions and purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store your payment card details. Apple may provide us with aggregated purchase and subscription information for business and support purposes.

Website Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate website visits and App Store link clicks. The App does not send your recordings, transcripts, summaries, or notes to Google Analytics.

Sharing

If you choose to share or export notes or recordings, the App will hand the content to the destination you choose (for example, Messages, Mail, or another app). What happens next is governed by that destination's policies.

Backups

Your device may include App data in iOS backups (including iCloud Backup), depending on your iOS settings. Those backups are controlled by Apple and your device configuration.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top indicates the latest revision for this page.
