Privacy.

At a glance

Your people, notes, moments, birthdays, and settings are stored on your device. There is no Noted & Known cloud copy of your relationship data.

What the app stores

Noted & Known stores the information you add inside the app:

• people you add
• circles
• notes and gift ideas
• chronicles
• birthdays you enter
• profile photos you choose
• settings and preferences

This information lives in a local database on your device.

Permissions

Notifications

Noted & Known can schedule local reminders for check-ins and birthdays. They’re created by your device, not pushed from a server.

Contacts

Noted & Known asks for Contacts access only if you choose to import contacts. You choose which people to add, and the import is one-time — it copies the person’s name, contact photo, and birthday into the local database on your device, and nothing is uploaded.

Photos

Noted & Known may ask for photo library access if you choose a profile image. It doesn’t scan your photo library or upload it to a server.

Export

Export creates a point-in-time JSON snapshot of your app data. The file is plain text and isn’t encrypted by Noted & Known.

Once you save or share an export outside the app, its privacy depends on where you put it. Treat it like sensitive personal data.

Noted & Known doesn’t provide its own cloud backup or restore. On iPhone, your local app data may be included in your own iCloud or computer backup — that backup is made and encrypted by Apple under your Apple Account, not by us. On Android, the app opts out of system auto-backup.

Analytics

The app sends basic product analytics. These events are privacy-bucketed — screen views, feature use, session length, build version, and count ranges. They never include names, note text, chronicle text, search text, birthdays, contact details, profile photos, or exports.

Crash reports

If Noted & Known crashes, a crash report leaves your device so the bug can be fixed. A crash report contains the technical stack trace, the app version, your device model, and your OS version.

Crash reports never include your people, notes, photos, screenshots, your device’s personal name, or any account identity — the app has no accounts. Crash reports are processed by Sentry on our behalf and are used only to diagnose and fix crashes.

Important limits

• App lock is a UI barrier, not database encryption.
• Export is not encrypted.
• Export is not sync or restore.
• Device security still matters.
• Clear all data doesn’t delete exported files you saved elsewhere.
