v1.0 Privacy Policy & Data Handling Update

This is the privacy policy for the meemo iOS app ("meemo," "the app," "we"). It reflects how the app behaves at v1.0. If anything changes, this document changes with it.

Privacy First: TL;DR 🛡️

We built meemo to be yours and yours alone. Here is the gist of how we handle your data:

• meemo runs on-device. No accounts, no logins, and no cloud sync beyond your own encrypted iCloud backups.

• We do not collect your content. Your capture text, titles, due dates, and entity names never leave your phone. Ever.

• Opt-in telemetry only. We only track anonymous, content-free event counts (like "a capture was created") if you manually turn it on in Settings.

• You own your data. You can export everything to JSON or Markdown at any time.

What stays on your device 📱

Everything you create in meemo is stored locally in the app's SwiftData database. This includes your capture text, parsed titles, summaries, entities, and notification preferences. None of this is uploaded to our servers.

If you have iCloud Backup enabled at the system level, your data is included in those backups, which are end-to-end encrypted by Apple.

Anonymous Analytics (Strictly Opt-In) 📊

If — and only if — you toggle Settings → Privacy → Share anonymous usage data, we send basic event counts to PostHog to help us improve the app. Examples include:

• capture.created: Tells us if you used voice, text, or a widget.

• view.opened: Tells us which primary screens are most popular.

• onboarding.completed: Helps us see if people are getting stuck during setup.

Crucially, every field is a fixed value. We've designed the code so that your actual text or private data cannot reach the analytics pipeline, even by accident.

Permissions & Hardware 🎙️

• Microphone & Speech Recognition: Used for on-device transcription. Audio is processed by Apple's Speech framework locally and discarded immediately.

• Notifications: Generated on-device to remind you of tasks. We don't see what's in them.

• Reminders (Optional): If you enable the bridge, we write to Apple's Reminders app locally. Apple handles the sync there, not meemo.

On-Device AI 🤖

Classification, summarization, and extraction run through Apple's on-device Foundation Models. This is part of iOS; meemo invokes it locally, and per Apple's documentation, this inference does not leave your device.

Contact & Deletion

On-device data is deleted when you empty the Trash or delete the app. For privacy questions or help with telemetry data, please raise a ticket via the contact link below.
