Privacy Policy

Introduction

QuickNote ("we," "us," "our," or "BlazeApps") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and associated services.

Important Notice: QuickNote uses on-device speech-to-text processing. Audio is processed locally on your device and is not sent to our servers for analysis or storage.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Transcribed Notes: Text generated from voice recordings through on-device speech-to-text processing.
• Note Metadata: Creation dates, edit dates, and note organization structure (folders, tags).
• Voice Recording Duration: Length of recording sessions (not the actual audio).
• Device Information: Device model, operating system, and app version for crash reporting and compatibility.
• Authentication Data: Anonymous Firebase authentication tokens used to sync your data securely.

Audio Privacy & On-Device Processing

CRITICAL: QuickNote processes all audio locally on your device. Audio is NOT sent to BlazeApps servers, recorded, or stored in any form:

• Voice recordings are converted to text entirely on your device using iOS/Android native speech-to-text APIs
• Raw audio data is immediately discarded after transcription
• Only the final transcribed text is stored in your notes
• No audio files are ever transmitted to BlazeApps, third parties, or cloud servers
• Apple and Google's native speech APIs may collect limited diagnostic data according to their privacy policies

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for:

• Storing your transcribed notes and organizing them in folders
• Syncing notes across your devices
• Enabling text editing, formatting, and organization features
• Providing premium features such as unlimited recordings, rich text editing, folders, and export functionality
• Analyzing app performance and user engagement
• Fixing bugs and improving app stability

Microphone Permissions

QuickNote requires microphone access to record voice notes. Your microphone is only accessed when you explicitly tap the record button. You can deny microphone permissions at any time through your device's settings, and the app will prompt you to grant permission when needed. We do not use the microphone for any other purposes.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Subscriptions & Premium Features

QuickNote offers a free tier and premium subscription plans:

• Free Tier: 10 voice recordings per month, basic text editing
• Monthly: $2.99/month for unlimited recordings, rich text formatting, folders, and export
• Yearly: $19.99/year for all premium features
• Lifetime: $39.99 one-time purchase for permanent premium access

Subscription data is processed securely through Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We do not store your payment information directly; it is managed by these platforms.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest. Your notes are stored securely in Firebase with appropriate access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. If you have security concerns, please contact us immediately.

Data Retention

We retain your notes as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Backup copies may take up to 30 days to be deleted.

You have the right to:

• Access your notes
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Opt-out of promotional communications
• Export your notes in standard formats
• Disable analytics in app settings
• Revoke microphone permissions at any time

QuickNote is intended for adults and is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with information, we will delete such information and terminate the child's account.

• Right to know what personal information is collected
