Jotwisp / 拾念1. Local notes and preferences
The app stores note text, optional titles, tags, favorites, creation and modification dates, record identifiers and whether a note came from speech. These support writing, organizing, searching and revisiting your notes. Drafts, appearance preferences, speech language and online speech choices are stored locally. There is no developer-operated account system or server receiving your notes. Device backups configured through Apple may also include local app data.
2. Optional iCloud Auto Sync
Sync is off by default. After you choose to enable sync, the app uses Apple's private CloudKit database in your iCloud account to synchronize notes, titles, tags, favorites and associated record metadata. Drafts and app preferences are not part of this CloudKit sync. Apple processes the cloud data under its services and privacy terms; Jotwisp does not send a duplicate to a developer-operated server. Sync requires an available iCloud account, network access and sufficient iCloud storage, and may be delayed. Sync is free. Disabling sync pauses app sync; it does not erase existing local or cloud copies.
3. Microphone and speech recognition
The microphone is used when you choose voice transcription. The app prefers on-device recognition; Apple may need to download language assets. If on-device recognition is unavailable, Apple online recognition is used only when online fallback is allowed and you explicitly consent to it. That mode sends microphone audio to Apple to produce a transcript and may require Apple's speech recognition permission. Apple controls its processing and retention under its applicable speech and privacy notices. Jotwisp does not save raw audio recordings as files; audio is handled during transcription and the transcript can become a local draft or saved note. There is no developer-operated speech server.
4. Purchases and subscription status
Apple handles payment, billing, renewals and refund requests. The app checks Apple-verified StoreKit transactions, including product and transaction identifiers, subscription status, expiration and revocation information, to determine access to paid features. This verification takes place through Apple's services and on the device, without a developer-operated purchase server. The app does not receive your payment card number. Your App Store purchase account and iCloud account may differ.
5. Exporting and contacting support
When you export, the app creates temporary Markdown or ZIP files containing the notes and relevant metadata you select. You choose a destination through the system share interface; that destination's rules apply. Temporary export files are cleaned up after sharing or on a later launch, but copies saved elsewhere remain under your control. If you email support, the developer receives your address and anything you include, such as a problem description or screenshots, for responding and resolving the request. Do not send passwords, payment details or private notes unless needed and deliberately chosen.
6. Website hosting and service providers
This website is hosted on Cloudflare. Serving and protecting it may involve processing an IP address, request time, requested URL and browser or network information under Cloudflare's policies. We do not add advertising, analytics scripts, cookies, local-storage identifiers or contact forms to this site. Your browser language is read locally to choose Chinese or English and is not sent by our language script to a separate service. Apple provides iCloud, speech and purchase services; Cloudflare provides website hosting; email providers deliver support messages. These providers process information under their own applicable privacy and service terms. We use them only for the functions described here and do not authorize advertising use of your note content.
7. Tracking and permissions
The current app contains no advertising or third-party analytics SDK and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. It does not request contacts, photos or location access. Microphone access and, where needed, speech recognition access are optional for voice features. You can keep using text notes without those permissions. We do not sell your personal information.
8. Retention, deletion and withdrawing consent
Saved notes remain until you delete them; drafts remain until saved, cleared by the relevant app action or removed with the app's local data. Delete individual notes in the app. When sync is active and available, deletions also propagate through iCloud, so export anything you want to keep first. Deleting a tag alone does not delete its notes. To stop online speech, end transcription and turn off ‘Allow Apple Online Fallback’ under My Space → Settings & Information; you may also revoke Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions in iOS Settings. Turn off iCloud Auto Sync to stop future app sync. To remove cloud data, use Apple's iCloud storage management if an app data removal option is available, or contact support for guidance; uninstalling alone does not delete iCloud copies, external exports or backups. Apple and export destinations control their own retention and backup schedules. No app-level instant permanent deletion of every copy is promised.
9. Your privacy choices and requests
You can access and edit your notes in the app, export them and delete them. There is no Jotwisp account to delete. For support correspondence or other personal information held by the developer, email alun1020@proton.me to request access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent or other rights available under applicable law. Support messages are kept only as needed to handle the request and any necessary legal or security obligations, then deleted or anonymized. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify a request. We cannot directly retrieve your private CloudKit notes or delete records held independently by Apple or your chosen export provider.
10. Security, children and international services
We rely on the security controls of iOS and the relevant service providers and limit the information requested for support. No method of storage or transmission is guaranteed completely secure. Apple, Cloudflare and email services may process data in locations where they operate, according to their terms and applicable law. Jotwisp is a general-purpose notebook, not a service directed at children, and does not knowingly solicit children's personal information for developer-operated accounts or advertising. A parent or guardian can contact us about information sent to support. Follow the app's App Store age rating and local requirements.
