Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
At Jata, we believe privacy isn't a feature—it's a fundamental right. This policy explains how we protect your privacy by design.
The Simple Truth
We don't collect, store, or share your personal data. Period.
Your notes, tasks, images, and anything else you create in Jata stays on your device. We designed Jata specifically to avoid the privacy problems that plague other apps.
What We Don't Collect
Here's everything we don't collect:
Your notes or tasks: Everything you write stays on your device
Your images: Photos of your handwritten notes never leave your device
Personal information: No names, emails, phone numbers, or addresses
Usage analytics: We don't track how you use the app
Location data: We don't access your location
Device identifiers: No tracking across apps or websites
What Happens on Your Device
All the magic happens locally on your iPhone or iPad:
OCR processing: Text recognition from your handwritten notes happens entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework
Data storage: All your data is stored in your device's secure database
Image processing: Photo optimization and enhancement happens locally
Search and organization: Finding and organizing your notes works without internet
iCloud Sync (Optional)
If you choose to enable iCloud sync for Jata:
Your personal iCloud: Data syncs to your personal iCloud account
We can't see it: Apple encrypts iCloud data and we have no access to it
Apple's privacy policy: iCloud data is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours
Anonymous Crash Reports
To help us fix bugs and improve Jata, we may collect anonymous crash reports:
Technical data only: Device type, iOS version, crash location in code
No personal data: Never includes your notes, tasks, or images
You control it: Opt out anytime in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements
Anonymous: Cannot be linked back to you or your device
No Third-Party Services
Jata doesn't use any third-party services that could access your data:
No analytics services: No Google Analytics, Facebook, or similar tracking
No cloud OCR: Text recognition happens on your device, not external servers
No ad networks: We don't show ads or use advertising frameworks
No social media: No Facebook, Twitter, or other social integrations
Your Rights
Since we don't collect your data, you automatically have complete control:
Data portability: Export all your data anytime through the app
Right to deletion: Delete the app to remove all data (it only exists on your device)
No data requests needed: You already have all your data
No account deletion: There are no accounts to delete
Children's Privacy
Jata is safe for users of all ages:
No data collection: We don't collect data from anyone, including children under 13
No online features: No chat, sharing, or communication features
Offline-first: Works completely offline, no internet required
International Users
Jata respects privacy laws worldwide, including GDPR, CCPA, and others.
Since we don't collect data, we're automatically compliant with most privacy regulations.
Changes to This Policy
We'll update this policy if our privacy practices change.
Any changes will be posted here and in the app if they're significant.
Our Commitment
Privacy isn't just a policy for us—it's the foundation of how we built Jata. We chose the harder path of on-device processing and no data collection because we believe your personal notes should stay personal.
Your handwritten thoughts deserve the same privacy as the notebook in your drawer.
