Privacy Policy
Intent Photo Notes

Last updated: April 2026  ·  Effective immediately


Overview

Intent Photo Notes is designed with your privacy as a first principle. The app does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data with the developer or any third party.

Simple version: everything stays on your device. There are no servers, no accounts, and no tracking. The developer cannot see your data.

Data Storage

All data you create within Intent Photo Notes — including journal entries, shoot notes, images, and audio recordings — is stored locally on your device. No data is sent to external servers or third parties.

Data Export

The app includes an export feature that allows you to create backups of your data. You may choose where to send or store that backup (for example: Files, AirDrop, email, or other services on iOS; email or your preferred storage app on Android).

Transmission and storage of exported data are governed by the policies of the service you choose. Please refer to that provider's privacy policy for details.

Network Calls to Third-Party Services

Intent Photo Notes fetches current weather conditions at the time of a shoot. On iOS, this is handled via Apple WeatherKit. On Android, this is handled via Open-Meteo, a free and open-source weather API. Only your device's current coordinates are transmitted to retrieve local weather. No personal information is included in these requests.

If you enable transcription on iOS, requests may be processed by Apple services or handled on-device depending on system settings. On Android, transcription is handled entirely on-device via Android's built-in speech recognition — no audio leaves your device.

Apple services are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. Open-Meteo's data practices are described at open-meteo.com/en/terms.

Third-Party Services

Intent Photo Notes contains no third-party SDKs, analytics frameworks, advertising libraries, or tracking tools of any kind.

No creepy analytics No advertising No social logins

Crash Reporting

On iOS, if you have opted into sharing diagnostics with app developers through your iOS Settings, Apple may provide the developer with anonymized crash logs. On Android, if you have opted into sharing diagnostics via Google Play, anonymized crash reports may be provided. These contain no personally identifiable information — only technical stack traces used to fix bugs.

On iOS you can manage this under Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements. On Android you can manage this under Settings → Google → Manage your Google Account → Data & privacy.

Data Responsibility

Because all data is stored locally on your device, you are responsible for maintaining backups of your content. We recommend using your device's backup solution (iCloud on iOS, Google One or Android Backup on Android) and occasionally using the manual export feature to protect against device loss or failure. The developer is not liable for data loss resulting from device failure, accidental deletion, OS updates, or app removal.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated in a future app version, users will be notified via the App Store or Google Play update release notes. The effective date above will reflect the most recent revision.
