Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. Here's how we handle your data.

Effective: December 6, 2025

Overview

Fácil Notebook ("we", "our", or "the app") is designed with privacy in mind. We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide you with a great note-taking experience. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Data We Collect

We collect the following types of data to provide app functionality:

Photos & Videos

Images you import into your notebooks for annotation or reference.

Audio Data

Recordings you make within the app for lecture capture and transcription.

User Content

Notes, handwriting, text, and other content you create in the app.

Usage Data

Basic usage statistics like feature usage counts (e.g., AI requests) to improve the app.

How We Use Your Data

App Functionality

Your notes, recordings, and content are used solely to provide the features you expect: saving your work, transcribing audio, generating summaries, and syncing across devices.

AI Features

When you use AI-powered features (summaries, action items, flashcards), your content may be sent to OpenAI's servers for processing. This data is used only to generate the requested output and is handled according to OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

What We Don't Do

  • We do not sell your personal data to third parties
  • We do not use your data for advertising or tracking
  • We do not share your content with other users
  • We do not access your notes unless required for support (with your permission)

Data Storage & Security

Your notes and recordings are stored locally on your device. If you enable cloud sync, your data is stored in your personal iCloud or Google Drive account, which you control.

We use industry-standard encryption for any data transmitted to our servers or third-party services.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • OpenAI - For AI-powered features (summaries, action items, flashcards)
  • Apple iCloud - For cloud sync (optional, user-controlled)
  • Google Drive - For cloud sync (optional, user-controlled)

Children's Privacy

Fácil Notebook is designed for students of all ages, including children under 13. Since all notes and content are stored locally on the device or in the user's personal cloud account, we do not collect or store any personal information from children on our servers.

Your Rights

Your data belongs to you. Here's what you can do:

  • Access your data anytime — it's stored on your device or your personal iCloud/Google Drive account, not on our servers
  • Export any notebook as a PDF from within the app
  • Delete your data by removing notebooks or uninstalling the app
  • Opt out of cloud sync by keeping data local only

Since we don't store your notes, recordings, or personal content on our servers, there's nothing for us to provide — you already have full control of your data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes through the app or by updating the effective date above.
