Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Acornote AI is operated by WEI PAN (“WEI PAN,” “Acornote,” the “App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and process when you use the App, why we use it, how it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy.

If you purchase a subscription or use an in-app purchase, your device’s app marketplace processes the payment. We also use a subscription-management service to manage purchase status and access to paid features.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we generally process information to perform our contract with you, based on our legitimate interests in operating and securing the App, with your consent where requested, or to comply with legal obligations.


3. Cloud Processing and AI Features

Acornote is a cloud-connected service. Unlike an app that works entirely on-device, Acornote sends the content you choose to submit to our cloud infrastructure so that it can be stored, synchronized, and processed.

Your source materials and related content may be:

AI service providers may receive your submitted content, prompts, and necessary technical information to generate a response. Their handling of information is governed by their agreements with us and their applicable privacy terms.

Do not submit highly sensitive information that is unnecessary for your use of the App.


4. Camera, Photos, Microphone, Notifications, and System Permissions

The App may request the following permissions:

We access these capabilities only as permitted by your device settings and in connection with features you initiate. You can review or revoke permissions at any time in your device settings. Some features may not work without the relevant permission.

The App is not designed to continuously record audio, access your camera, or upload your entire photo library in the background.


5. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

5.1 Service providers

We use service providers to operate the App, including:

These providers may process information only as needed to provide their services to us, subject to their agreements and applicable privacy policies.

5.3 With your direction

We may share information when you ask us to do so, such as when you export content, use a system share sheet, or open content in another app.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your notes, recordings, documents, or chat content for third-party targeted advertising. The App does not include third-party advertising services.


6. Third-Party Services

Third-party services process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Relevant privacy information may be presented:

External links and media are also subject to the relevant third party’s terms and privacy practices.


7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain account information and user content for as long as your account is active or as reasonably necessary to provide the App, fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, resolve disputes, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.

You can:

Deletion may take a reasonable period to complete. Limited information may remain temporarily in backups, security logs, transaction records, or records we must retain for legal purposes. Information processed independently by an app marketplace, payment platform, sign-in provider, or another third party is subject to that provider’s retention and deletion practices.


8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information. These measures include authenticated access, platform security controls, and access restrictions intended to separate one user’s content from another user’s content.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for protecting access to your device and sign-in account.


9. International Data Transfers

Acornote and its service providers may process and store information in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.


10. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 4, or under the minimum age required by applicable law to use an online service without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, contact us at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate steps, including deletion where required.
