Privacy Policy

Welcome to Inksight: Scan & Chat Notes. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our application.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our note scanning and chat services, we collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: If you sign in, we collect your email address and basic profile information to sync your documents across devices.
• Document Data: We store the images you capture and the resulting digitized text so you can access, edit, and chat with them in your history.
• Usage Data: We collect anonymous information about how you interact with the app to improve performance and user experience.

2. Data Processing

To provide advanced features like text recognition and document assistance, Inksight securely processes your data:

• Images and text may be processed using secure, third-party cloud-based services.
• The content of your documents is used solely for the purpose of providing the service (transcription, organization, and chat functionality).
• Your data is handled securely and is not used to train third-party models without your explicit consent.

3. Permissions

The app requires the following permissions to function correctly:

• Camera: To capture photos of your notes directly within the app.
• Photo Library: To allow you to import previously taken photos for processing.

4. Data Storage & Security

We take data security seriously:

• Your data is stored using secure cloud infrastructure with industry-standard encryption.
• Access to your documents is strictly restricted to you through secure authentication.

5. Third-Party Services

We use trusted infrastructure and processing partners to provide our services:

• Backend & Storage: For secure database management and authentication.
• Processing Services: For text digitization and intelligent document assistance.
• Subscription Management: To handle in-app purchases and pro features.

6. Google Drive Exports

When you choose to create a Google Doc or Google Sheet, Inksight asks you to connect a Google account and grant the drive.file permission. This permission is limited to Google Drive files that Inksight creates for you or that you explicitly open with Inksight; it does not give Inksight access to browse all of the files in your Drive.

• Information accessed: We use basic Google account information to establish the connection, and Google returns limited metadata such as the identifier, name, type, and editor link for the file you asked Inksight to create.
• How it is used: Inksight generates the requested export on your device and uploads it directly from your device to Google Drive solely to create the Google Doc or Google Sheet you requested.
• Storage and retention: Inksight's backend does not receive or store your Google access token or copies of your Google Drive files. The temporary export file on your device is deleted after the upload attempt. The resulting file remains in your Google Drive until you delete it there.
• Sharing: We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, use it to train AI models, or share it with third parties. Data is sent to Google only at your direction to provide the export.
• Your control: You can revoke Inksight's Google access at any time from your Google Account's third-party connections page. Revoking access does not delete files already created in your Drive; you can delete those files directly in Google Drive.

Inksight's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

7. Your Rights & Account Deletion

You have full control over your data. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, you can do so through the following methods:

• In-App Deletion: Go to Account > Profile Settings and select "Delete Account". This will immediately remove your personal information, documents, and images from our database and storage.
• Manual Request: If you cannot access the app, you can email us at inksight.notes.app@gmail.com with the subject line "Account Deletion Request". We will process your request and delete all your data within 48 hours.

What data is deleted: Upon account deletion, we permanently remove your email address, profile metadata, all uploaded images of notes, and all transcribed text associated with your account.

Data Retention: Some data may remain in our encrypted backups for up to 30 days before being permanently purged. Transaction records for Pro subscriptions are retained as required by financial regulations and app store policies.

8. Free Web Tool (Handwriting to Text)

Our free web tool at https://inksight-app.com/handwriting-to-text lets you convert a single image without an account. It is designed to keep as little data as possible:

• Images are not stored. The image you upload is processed in memory to extract text and is not saved to our database or storage.
• No raw IP addresses. To enforce the one-free-scan-per-day limit, we store only a one-way hashed, salted fingerprint derived from your IP address — never the IP itself — alongside a daily counter.
• No sign-in required. We do not collect an email address or profile for the web tool.
• Anonymous usage logging. To understand how the tool is used and to improve recognition quality, we record anonymized usage events — the outcome of a conversion, rough metadata (such as text length and whether a table was detected), your coarse country, and the transcribed text itself. These records are linked only to the hashed fingerprint above, never to your identity, and are kept for up to 12 months. You can ask us to delete them at any time using the contact details below.
