Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Your recordings and notes

• Recordings: Speech is turned into text on your device. Recordings are never uploaded to our servers or to an AI provider.
• Notes, recordings, and custom prompts: Stored on your device and, when iCloud sync is on, in your private iCloud account, which Apple operates. We cannot access your iCloud data.

Text sent for AI features

• Note text and chat messages: When you use AI summaries, titles, questions, or chat and allow AI processing, the note's text and your chat messages go through our server to the provider of the AI model you pick. Your audio is never sent.
• Search terms: When the AI looks something up for you, the search terms are sent to DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia.

Identifiers

• Anonymous app ID: Used for app functionality and daily limits. AI requests carry only this ID; no name or email is sent.
• Device identifiers: Used for analytics and troubleshooting.

Purchases

• Purchase history: Collected to manage subscriptions, verify purchases, and perform analytics.

Usage Data

• Product interaction: Collected to understand how the app is used and to improve features and user experience.

Diagnostics

• Crash data and diagnostic information: Collected to identify bugs, improve performance, and keep the app stable.

What you send us

• Support messages: Your message, the email address you add so we can reply (optional), your anonymous app ID, and whether you have Plus.
• Feature requests: The ideas you post and your votes, linked to an anonymous ID.

We do not collect contacts, photos, precise location data, or financial account details. You do not need an account to use Mangonote.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain app functionality, including the AI features you request
• Apply free-plan limits, manage subscriptions, and verify purchases
• Analyze app performance and improve user experience
• Detect, prevent, and fix crashes or technical issues
• Answer your support messages and consider your feature requests
• Ensure security and prevent misuse of the app

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

3. Data Storage and Retention

Your notes and recordings stay on your device and in your iCloud account, and you can delete them at any time. Other data is processed securely using trusted third-party cloud services that follow modern industry security standards. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the app's services and to comply with legal obligations.

4. Data Sharing

We share limited information with trusted service providers strictly to run the app:

• AI processing: OpenRouter, and the provider of the AI model you pick (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or DeepSeek), receive the text of AI requests
• Web search: DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia receive search terms
• Backend, analytics, and crash reporting: Google Firebase
• Subscriptions and payments: Adapty and the Apple App Store
• Storage and sync: Apple iCloud

All service providers are required to process your data securely and only for the purposes specified. Their handling of data is also governed by their own privacy policies.

5. Your Choices

• Turn AI processing off in Settings › Transcription & AI, and no more note text is sent.
• Turn iCloud sync off in Settings › iCloud sync to keep notes on this device only.
• Remove your notes, recordings, and custom prompts from your device and iCloud with Settings › Delete all data.

6. User Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access and review your personal data
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent or object to certain data processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored on servers located outside your country of residence. By using Mangonote, you consent to such international data transfers as necessary for app operation.

9. This Website

This website does not use analytics or tracking cookies. It only remembers your light or dark theme choice in your browser.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When changes are made, the Effective Date will be updated, and the revised policy will be made available within the app or on this website. Continued use of Mangonote indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
