Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 20th, 2026

Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Nota ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our iOS application.

We have built Nota with a privacy-first architecture, meaning we only store what is absolutely necessary to make the app function, and we give you complete control over your cloud data and AI integrations.

01 Data Storage and Syncing

Nota uses a "Split-Brain" cloud architecture to ensure your data is fast, reliable, and secure.

• Text Data & Metadata: Your text notes, tags, and app preferences are synced securely using our backend database (powered by Google Firebase).
• Audio Files: Your raw audio recordings are never uploaded to our servers. They are saved directly to your personal Apple iCloud Drive.

02 Voice recording and Transcription

Nota requests access to your device's Microphone and Speech Recognition to capture your voice notes.

• We use Apple's native, on-device Speech Recognition API to transcribe your voice into text.
• Your audio is never sent to third-party servers by us for transcription purposes.

03 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Processing

Depending on how you use the app, data is routed differently:

• Nota AI (Default): Your text prompts are sent securely to our backend to generate a response. We do not use your personal notes or prompts to train our AI models.
• Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Your keys are stored securely on your local device. Prompts are sent directly from your device to the respective provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). We do not intercept or monitor these requests.

04 Subscriptions and Payments

We use Apple's native in-app purchase system and RevenueCat to manage subscriptions.

• We do not collect or have access to your credit card information.
• RevenueCat only receives an anonymous receipt from Apple to verify your Pro status.

05 Data Deletion

You have the right to delete your data at any time. Deleting a note within Nota permanently removes the text from Firebase and the audio from your iCloud Drive. To delete your entire account, contact us at privacy@nota.talk.
