Terms of Service
Last updated: January 2025
Welcome to Jata! We believe in keeping things simple, just like our app. These terms are written in plain English because we respect your time.
The Basics
Jata ("the app", "we", "us") is a todo app that helps you capture and track handwritten notes. By using Jata, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
Your Data is Yours
This is important, so we'll be crystal clear:
We don't collect your data. Your notes, tasks, and images stay on your device.
We don't have user accounts. There's nothing to sign up for.
We don't track you. No analytics beyond anonymous crash reports to help us fix bugs.
Your iCloud is yours. If you choose to sync via iCloud, that's between you and Apple. We can't see it.
How You Can Use Jata
✅ You CAN:
Use Jata for personal and commercial purposes
Capture and process your own handwritten notes
Export your data anytime
Stop using the app whenever you want (no strings attached)
❌ You CAN'T:
Reverse engineer or modify the app
Use Jata to process copyrighted material you don't own
Use Jata for illegal activities
Resell or redistribute the app
Privacy Summary
Since we don't collect data, our privacy practices are simple:
On-device processing: OCR and text recognition happen on your device
Optional iCloud sync: Uses your personal iCloud account (we never see this data)
Crash reports: Anonymous technical data if the app crashes (you can opt out)
No third parties: We don't share data because we don't have any to share
Subscriptions (Jata Pro)
If you choose to upgrade to Jata Pro:
Billing: Handled entirely by Apple through the App Store
Refunds: Subject to Apple's App Store policies
Cancellation: Manage through your iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions
Features: Pro features require an active subscription
Intellectual Property
The app: Jata and its design are owned by us and protected by copyright
Your content: Your notes and tasks belong to you
Open source: We use some open-source components (credited in the app)
Disclaimers
Jata is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do our best to make it great, but:
We can't guarantee 100% OCR accuracy (handwriting is hard!)
We're not responsible for lost data (please use iCloud backup)
The app might have bugs (we'll fix them as fast as we can)
Liability Limits
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we won't be liable for any damages arising from your use of Jata. Our total liability won't exceed what you paid for the app in the past 12 months.
Changes to These Terms
We might update these terms occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the app. Continuing to use Jata means you accept the new terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
The Bottom Line
Jata is a simple app that respects your privacy. Your data stays yours, we don't track you, and you can leave anytime. We hope you enjoy using Jata to bridge your paper and digital workflows.
Thank you for choosing Jata!
