Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Timvo is a notes app for iPhone. We built it so your notes stay yours: there is no account, and your notes live on your device. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use the app and this website.
Notes stay on your iPhoneNotes, folders, reminders and images are stored on your device.
No account neededNo sign-up, no email, no password.
We don’t store AI requestsText sent to AI isn’t kept by us or used for training.
No ads or trackingWe don’t sell data or follow you across apps.
01 Who we are
Timvo is made by Yaroslav Hrabovskyi, an independent developer based in Rivne, Ukraine (“we”, “us”). We are responsible for the data described in this policy. If you have any question about it, write to hello@timvo.app.
02 What stays on your iPhone
Your notes, folders, reminders, images and settings are stored only on your device. We have no access to them, and they are not uploaded to our servers.
If you turn on Face ID, iOS checks it for Timvo. We never receive your face data.
If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it, unless it is included in your own iPhone backup.
03 Voice recognition
Your voice is turned into text on your iPhone by a speech model that the app downloads once. Until the model is ready, the app uses Apple’s speech recognition, which may send audio to Apple to transcribe it, under Apple’s privacy policy.
Timvo doesn’t save audio, and we never receive your recordings.
04 AI features: Smart Note and automatic sorting
Smart Note and automatic sorting use AI. The app asks for your permission before these features send anything.
When you use them, the app sends the text of the note, or a reduced copy of the image (up to 1024 px), over an encrypted connection to our server, run on Cloudflare. The server passes it to our AI provider, currently OpenAI, only to create the result and send it back to you.
Our server doesn’t store or log the content of your notes or images. OpenAI doesn’t use this data to train its models and may keep it for up to 30 days to detect abuse, then deletes it. No name, email or account is sent with it.
05 Usage limits
To apply plan limits, the app creates a random installation ID. It isn’t linked to your identity, Apple ID or advertising ID. Our server keeps only daily usage counters for this ID, for two days.
Like any internet service, our server sees your IP address to send the response back. We don’t store it.
06 Purchases
Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We receive only whether your Timvo Pro subscription is active. We never see your name or payment details.
07 Reminders and notifications
Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone. Notifications are delivered by iOS and are not sent from our servers.
If you turn on Apple Calendar in Settings, Timvo adds your reminders as events to the calendar you choose. The app asks for calendar access first, and it never reads your other events. Those events are then handled by Apple Calendar, and synced by Apple if you use iCloud.
08 Service providers
We share data only with providers that help us run Timvo, and only for that purpose:
- Cloudflare runs our server.
- OpenAI processes AI requests.
- Apple handles purchases and, when used, speech recognition.
- Cloudflare hosts this website and counts visits to it.
09 Where data is processed
Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires it, these transfers are protected by the providers’ data processing terms, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
10 How long we keep data
- Notes, folders and images: on your iPhone until you delete them.
- Content sent to AI features: not stored by us; up to 30 days at OpenAI.
- Daily usage counters: 2 days.
- Technical server logs, without note content: up to 30 days.
11 Legal basis
If you are in the EU, UK or a similar region: we process data to provide the features you ask for (performance of a contract), and we use usage counters and logs to keep Timvo secure and protected from abuse (our legitimate interest). AI features send your content only with your permission.
12 What we don’t do
- No ads.
- No tracking across other apps or websites.
- No selling or sharing of your data for advertising.
- No third-party analytics in the app.
13 This website
This website doesn’t use cookies. To see how many people visit it and which pages they open, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It works without cookies and doesn’t follow you across other websites. It counts visits using the page address, the site you came from, your browser and device type, and your country. Cloudflare, which hosts this website, may also keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, for a short time to keep the site secure.
14 Children
Timvo isn’t directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has sent us data, write to us and we’ll delete it.
15 Your choices and rights
You can use Timvo without AI features, and then your notes never leave your device. You can turn AI features off at any time in Settings › Privacy & Face ID. To delete everything, go to Settings › Data & privacy › Delete all notes and folders, or delete the app.
Depending on where you live, including the EU, UK and California, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to its use, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We keep almost no data and can’t link it to you, but write to us and we’ll help with any request.
16 Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update it on this page and change the date at the top. For important changes, we’ll let you know in the app.
