Privacy

100% private. Your notes are secure, and only ever seen by you.

The people who run this cannot read your notes.

That is a strong claim, so here is exactly what it means and how it is arranged — not a promise about intentions, but a description of how the thing is built.

What I cannot see

I run Noema. I have no way to read your notes. Not the text, not the voice recordings, and not the keywords that connect them.

This is not a matter of choosing not to look. The part of the system I use to manage accounts connects to the database as a separate user that has not been granted permission to read the tables your notes live in. If I wrote a query asking for them, the database would refuse it. The only way around that would be to deliberately rebuild that part of the system — which is a very different thing from a policy that can quietly change one day.

What I can see

To run this at all, I can see:

• Your email address, and the date you signed up.
• Whether you are on the free plan or paying.
• Which parts of the app get used and for how long — that people use the Inspiration feed, for instance, not what is in it.

The one exception, stated plainly

If you send feedback, or leave a review, I read it. That is the point of sending it.

This is a different thing from your notes, and worth being clear about rather than leaving it to be discovered. A note is something you wrote for yourself and never intended anyone else to see. A review or a suggestion is something you deliberately sent to me. So: feedback is read; notes are not, and cannot be.

Nothing you write in feedback is published anywhere unless you tick the box saying it can be, and you choose how you are credited — your name, your first name and an initial, or anonymously.

Your notes are yours to take

You can export everything you have written as a plain text file, any time, from your settings. It opens in anything and needs no special software.

If you delete your account, your notes are genuinely deleted — removed from the database, not hidden behind a flag. That is irreversible, which is why the app asks you to type your email address to confirm.

Recordings

When you record your voice, the recording is used to produce the text and then deleted, within a day or two at most. There is no reason to keep it, so it is not kept.

For the formal version, see the privacy policy. It says the same things in the language such documents require.
