1. Introduction

At Jot, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our journaling application.

2. Our Privacy Commitment

Jot is designed with privacy as a core principle:

• Offline First: Your journal entries are stored locally on your device
• End-to-End Encryption: All your data is encrypted and only accessible by you
• No Cloud Storage: We do not store your journal entries on our servers
• No Data Collection: We cannot read, access, or share your personal journal entries

3. Information We Don't Collect

We do NOT collect, store, or have access to:

• Your journal entries or personal notes
• Content of your writings
• Personal thoughts, ideas, or reflections you record
• Any data processed by AI features (all processed locally on your device)

4. Information We May Collect

We may collect minimal, non-personal information to improve the App:

• Anonymous usage statistics (e.g., app opens, feature usage)
• Crash reports and technical diagnostics
• Device type and operating system version

This information is collected anonymously and cannot be linked to your identity or journal content.

5. How We Use Information

Any anonymous data we collect is used solely to:

• Improve app performance and stability
• Fix bugs and technical issues
• Understand which features are most useful to users
• Enhance user experience

6. AI Features and Privacy

Our AI-assisted features are designed with privacy in mind:

• All AI processing happens locally on your device
• Your journal content is never sent to external servers for AI analysis
• AI models run entirely offline to maintain your privacy

7. Optional Third-Party Services

At your discretion, you may choose to enable optional third-party services within the App, such as:

• Online AI Services: You can optionally configure external AI services or personal servers for enhanced AI features
• Backup Services: You can optionally configure backup to cloud storage providers or personal servers of your choice

Important: These features are entirely optional and disabled by default. When you choose to enable any third-party service, you will be fully informed about what data will be shared and have complete control over the configuration. Any backups will be end-to-end encrypted.

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

• End-to-end encryption for all journal entries
• Local storage on your device only
• No transmission of personal journal content over the internet
• Regular security updates and patches

9. Third-Party Services

To provide and improve the App, we use the following third-party services. Importantly, none of these services have access to your journal content, which remains encrypted and stored locally on your device.

10. Children's Privacy

Jot is designed for users of all ages. Since we do not collect personal information, including from children, we comply with all applicable children's privacy laws.

11. Your Rights

Because all your data is stored locally on your device:

• You have complete control over your data
• You can delete your data at any time by uninstalling the app
• You can export your data at any time through the app's export feature
• No data requests are necessary as we don't store your personal information
