Common Questions & Privacy Doubts for IMPROVE Second Brain

3 Answers

Is my voice recording sent to a remote server when I use voice capture?

No. Speech transcription is processed natively on-device using Apple Speech framework. Audio data never leaves your iPhone and is discarded immediately after transcription.

Do you train AI models on my private notes or project ideas?

Never. Your knowledge notes, intellectual property, and plans remain 100% confidential and are never used to train machine learning models.

What happens if I lose my device?

Your notes are safely backed up inside your personal Apple iCloud account and restored automatically when you sign in on a new Apple device.

App Store Guideline 5.1.1(v): Complete Data Revocation

Because IMPROVE Second Brain stores zero user records on central servers, you possess absolute deletion authority. Tapping “Clear App Data” in Settings immediately wipes local SwiftData stores and purges any connected tokens.
