Debrief Notes — Privacy Policy

What we collect

Nothing.

Debrief Notes does not collect any personal data. Specifically:

We do not collect your name, email, or contact information.
We do not collect your recordings, transcripts, or summaries.
We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.
We do not have servers that receive your data, because the app makes no such transmissions for its core features.

How your data is handled

Recordings are saved locally on your device, in the app's private storage.
Transcription is performed on-device using Apple's on-device speech recognition and/or an on-device AI model bundled with or downloaded by the app.
Summarization is performed on-device using a local AI model.
Your recordings, transcripts, and summaries never leave your device. They are not uploaded to us or to any third party.

Microphone access

Debrief Notes requests microphone access solely to record audio that you choose to record. Recording only happens when you actively start it. Audio is processed on your device and is never transmitted to us.

Speech recognition

The app uses on-device speech recognition to convert your recordings into text. This processing happens locally on your device.

AI model downloads

To enable on-device summarization, the app may download an AI model file to your device once. This download fetches a model file only; it does not transmit any of your personal data, recordings, or notes. The model then runs entirely offline on your device.

Data deletion

Because all data is stored locally on your device:

You can delete any recording, transcript, or summary at any time within the app.
Deleting the app removes all associated recordings and notes from your device.

We cannot delete your data for you, because we never have it.

Children's privacy

Debrief Notes does not collect personal data from anyone, including children. The app is rated for general audiences.

Third-party services

Debrief Notes does not integrate third-party analytics, advertising, or data-collection services for its core functionality. The app uses Apple's on-device frameworks and an on-device open-source AI model, both of which run locally.

If we change this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and post the revised policy at this URL. Material changes will be reflected in an app update.
