Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 24, 2026
Thinknotes is a voice-first note app built to help you think more clearly. We take your privacy seriously because notes are some of the most personal data you can create. This policy describes what we collect, why, how it's stored, and the choices you have.
What we collect
Voice recordings
When you record a note, we capture the audio on your device and send it to our servers for transcription. Audio recordings are processed to generate text transcripts and structured notes.
Transcripts and derived content
Once your recording is transcribed, we generate structured content (titles, summaries, tasks, reminders, categories, embeddings for semantic search). This content is stored in your account so you can access it across sessions.
Account information
We store the email address you sign in with, basic profile data (display name, timezone), and timestamps tracking when notes were created and last updated.
Usage signals (opt-in only)
If you enable the Patterns feature, we generate weekly reports summarizing your note-taking activity. Pattern detection is processed on our servers and never shared with third parties beyond what's strictly required for AI processing (see below). You can disable Patterns at any time in the app's Profile screen.
How we process your data
Thinknotes uses third-party AI services to transcribe your audio and generate structured notes:
- Deepgram — speech-to-text transcription
- Anthropic (Claude) — note structuring, intent classification, pattern synthesis, conversational responses
- Voyage AI — semantic embeddings for search
Your audio and text are sent to these providers only as needed to perform their function, and we have agreements in place that prohibit them from using your data to train their models.
Where your data is stored
Your notes, recordings, transcripts, and account data are stored on encrypted servers operated by Thinknotes. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it for any purpose other than making the app work for you.
Your choices and rights
- Delete a note — you can delete any individual note at any time from inside the app.
- Delete your account — email hello@thinknotes.io from your account address and we'll permanently delete all your data within 30 days.
- Export your data — email the same address and we'll provide your data in a portable format.
- Disable Patterns — turn off pattern recognition any time from the Profile screen. Past pattern reports are deleted when you disable the feature.
Children's privacy
Thinknotes is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app or by email. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
