Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

This policy explains how StackWorks ("we") handles information in the iPhone app "KoeNote" ("the app").

1. Information we collect

We do not collect personal information, audio or transcripts through the app. The app has no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking.

2. Information stored on your device

Recordings, audio extracted from imported files, transcripts, summaries, bookmarks, speaker names, folders, dictionary terms and settings are stored only on your iPhone and are never sent to our servers. They are included in your iPhone backups and are deleted when you delete the app.

3. Microphone

The microphone is used only while you record. The Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island show that a recording is in progress.

4. Speech recognition

Transcription uses iOS speech recognition (the Speech framework) on your iPhone. Audio and text are not sent anywhere. For a new language, iOS downloads speech data from Apple; Apple's privacy policy applies to that download.

5. Summaries

Summaries are created on iPhone models that support Apple Intelligence, using the on-device language model (Foundation Models framework). The app does not send transcripts anywhere to create summaries.

6. Import (files, photos, sharing)

The app reads only the files and videos you choose or share with it, and copies them into the app.

7. iCloud sync (optional)

If you turn on iCloud sync, transcripts, summaries, bookmarks, speakers, folders and dictionary terms are stored in the private area of your iCloud. Audio is not synced. This data belongs to your Apple Account, and we cannot see it.

8. Backups and export

Backups and exported files go wherever you choose to save or share them, and are handled under the terms of that service.

9. Purchases

KoeNote Plus is purchased through Apple's App Store. We do not receive your payment information. The app contacts the App Store only to check your purchase.

10. Notifications and Live Activities

Notifications and Live Activities are created on your iPhone. The app does not use push notifications from a server.

11. People you record

Recordings contain other people's voices and information. Please get consent from the people you record. You are responsible for how you use your recordings.

12. Changes

We will post any changes to this policy on this page.
