Privacy Policy
Hashnote (the "app") never sends your notes off your device. It collects only the minimum anonymous usage statistics needed to improve the app. This page explains what is collected and how it is handled.
Effective date: October 18, 2026
1. What we don't collect
- Notes and tags: Stored only on your device and never transmitted to anyone, including the developer.
- Voice: Dictation is processed on your iPhone. Your voice and the dictated text never leave the device.
- Contact details such as your name, email or phone number, precise location (GPS), or the advertising identifier (IDFA): Not collected. The app has no accounts or sign-in.
2. What we collect: usage statistics
To learn which features are used and improve the app, we collect the information below. It never includes note text, dictated text, the names of tags you create, or links in your notes.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Feature usage | Sending a note, opening and closing search, opening the tag map, starting and stopping dictation |
| Numbers tied to usage | Character and tag count of a note, how much dictated text was edited, time taken |
| Values defined by the app | Suggested tags picked during onboarding (from the app's built-in list), accent color |
| Performance | Time taken to draw the tag map, number of notes |
| Device information | Device model, iOS version, app version, country code from the device's region setting (e.g. US), whether microphone access is allowed |
| Anonymous identifier | A random value created when the app is installed. It is not linked to your name or any hardware identifier |
We have configured our analytics provider not to infer your location (city or region) from your IP address.
3. How we use it
- To understand which features are used and where people get stuck, so we can improve the app
- To find performance problems
We do not use this information for advertising or marketing, and we do not combine it with data from other companies to track you. We do not sell or share your personal information.
4. Service provider and international transfer
Usage statistics are processed by our analytics provider, Mixpanel.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Recipient | Mixpanel, Inc. (United States) |
| Information | The usage statistics described in section 2 |
| When and how | Sent over an encrypted internet connection while you use the app |
| Purpose | Storing and analyzing usage statistics |
| Retention | Deleted without delay once it is no longer needed to improve the app |
5. Deleting usage statistics
Usage statistics are sent automatically while you use the app; there is no in-app setting to turn them off. Deleting the app also deletes the anonymous identifier, and nothing is sent after that.
Because usage statistics are identified only by an anonymous identifier, without a name or contact details, it is difficult to single out one person's records among those already sent. If you would like your data deleted, contact us below and we will find a way to help.
6. Device permissions
- Microphone: Used only while dictation is on. Speech is converted to text on your device and is neither stored nor transmitted. Everything except dictation works without microphone access.
7. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Contact
- Developer: Yemin Lee
- Email: yemson@icloud.com
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will post the updated policy and its effective date on this page.
