Privacy Policy

notesgonecrazy · Last updated 3 September 2026

Short version: notesgonecrazy has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your notes, drawings, photos and voice recordings are stored on your own device and we never receive them. Two optional features reach the internet, and only if you turn them on: downloading an AI model, and connecting your own AI provider key.

1. Who this policy is for

notesgonecrazy is a note taking app for a general audience: students, teachers, families and professionals. It offers several profile styles, one of them designed for pre-school children, but the App is not published in a children’s category and is not directed to children. A parent or guardian sets up the device and chooses which profile a child uses.

2. What we never collect

  • No name, email address, phone number, birthday or postal address.
  • No account or login of any kind. The App has no sign-up.
  • No contacts and no location access.
  • No advertising identifiers, no advertising SDKs and no behavioural tracking.
  • No analytics or usage-profiling SDKs. We do not know how many notes you write, which features you open, or whether you opened the App at all.
  • No social features. There is no way to chat with, message or share with other users through the App.

3. What stays on your device

Your notes, handwriting, drawings, photos, imported documents, voice recordings, notebooks, profiles, timer history and settings are stored locally on your device, in the App’s own storage. They are never uploaded to us, and we run no server that could receive them. We cannot see your notes.

If the device is shared, each profile sees only its own notebooks. That separation is a convenience for households, not a security boundary: anyone who can unlock the device can switch profiles. Deleting the App deletes this data.

4. Camera, photo library and microphone

The App asks for these only at the moment you use the feature that needs them, and each one is optional:

  • Camera, to take a photo and place it in a note.
  • Photo library, to add a picture you already have, and to save an exported page back to your library if you ask for that.
  • Microphone, to record a voice note attached to a note.

Photos and recordings made this way are copied into the App’s own storage on the device and stay there. They are not uploaded, and speech-to-text transcription is switched off in this release, so a voice recording is never sent anywhere. You can refuse or withdraw any of these permissions in your device settings and the rest of the App keeps working.

5. AI that runs on your device

The App can run an AI language model directly on your device. The model is not bundled with the App: if you choose this feature, the App downloads the model file you pick from Hugging Face, a third-party file host. Hugging Face sees your IP address and which file you requested, as any web server does, and keeps its own logs under its own policy. We have no access to those logs.

Once downloaded, the model runs entirely on your device. Your notes and questions are processed locally and are not sent to us or to anyone else. If you never download a model, no such request is ever made.

6. Optional: connecting your own AI provider

Instead of an on-device model you may enter your own API key for Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI or Google Gemini. This is off by default and takes deliberate setup.

If you turn it on, then each time you ask that AI a question, the text you send it, which may include the content of your note, is transmitted directly from your device to that provider, and their privacy policy and retention terms govern what happens to it. Your key is stored on your device and is sent only to the provider it belongs to. We are not in the middle: the request passes through no server of ours, and we never see your key, your prompts or the answers.

Please do not put information into an AI request that you would not want that provider to hold. If you enter no key, nothing is ever sent to these services.

7. Purchases

Optional purchases and subscriptions are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We use RevenueCat to check whether a purchase is active. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated, app-specific identifier and the purchase receipt from the store, not your name, email address or anything that identifies you. We never receive or handle your payment card details. See the privacy policies of RevenueCat, Apple and Google.

8. Notifications and the study timer

The App includes a study timer that can notify you when a session ends. If you allow notifications, they are scheduled locally on the device itself. There is no push server, we send nothing to you, and we do not learn whether a notification was shown or opened. You can withdraw the permission at any time in your device settings.

9. Retention, deletion and your rights

Because we hold no personal data, there is nothing for us to retain, disclose or delete, and no profile of you exists for us to hand over. To remove everything the App has stored, delete the App from your device, or clear the App’s data in your device settings.

Under the GDPR, the Turkish data protection law (KVKK) and comparable laws elsewhere you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. They apply to a controller holding your data. We hold none, so our answer to an access request will be that we have nothing about you. If you believe any personal information of yours has somehow reached us, write to us and we will delete it.

Data held by others is governed by their own policies: purchase records at Apple, Google or RevenueCat, and anything you sent to an AI provider using your own key. You would need to contact that provider directly to exercise rights over it.

10. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes we will update the date above. If a future release ever sent your content somewhere new, for example if speech-to-text transcription were enabled, we would say so here before that release shipped.
