Introduction
Private AI Note ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application ("App").
Important: Our app is designed to be completely offline-first. No user-generated content (notes, audio recordings, or images) is ever transmitted to our servers or any external services.
App Permissions & Why We Need Them
Private AI Note requests the following permissions to provide its core functionality. All permissions are optional and you can deny them, though some features may not work without them.
Microphone Access
Photos/Media Access
Background Recording (Android)
Important: These permissions are only used for the stated purposes and all data stays on your device. You can revoke permissions at any time through your device settings.
Information We Collect
Information Stored Locally on Your Device
- •Notes and Content: All text notes, audio recordings, images, and AI-generated content you create
- •App Settings: Your theme preferences and other app configuration
- •AI Models: Downloaded AI models (LLaMA and Whisper) for offline processing
This data remains entirely on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third parties.
Information We Collect for App Improvement (Anonymous)
We use Sentry (a third-party error monitoring service) to help us identify and fix crashes and performance issues:
- •Crash Reports: Anonymous error logs when the app crashes
- •Device Information: Operating system version, device model, and app version (no personal identifiers)
- •Performance Data: How the app performs on different devices
- •Session Recordings: Anonymous recordings of user interactions (collected for 10% of sessions and 100% of error sessions to help fix bugs)
No personal data, IP addresses, or identifiable information is collected by Sentry.
