Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Note writes you a short morning briefing each day. You tap to generate; the app reads today's events from your calendar through EventKit and the current conditions for your location through Apple's WeatherKit, then Apple's on-device Foundation Models writes a roughly 150-word briefing script. The script is voiced by AVSpeechSynthesizer and saved as an audio file inside the app's sandbox. The text and the audio both stay on your device. No data leaves the device for generation. The only network calls the app makes are the WeatherKit lookup that fetches today's conditions and Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Note is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No microphone. The app uses text-to-speech to voice the briefing; it does not record audio from you.
• No camera, no photos.
• No contacts.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.
• No third-party servers. The app does not embed any analytics SDK or ad SDK.

Permissions the app requests

• Calendar (read-only) — NSCalendarsFullAccessUsageDescription. The app reads today's events through EventKit so it can mention them in the briefing. It never writes to your calendar and does not access events outside the current day.
• Location (when in use) — NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription. The app takes a single location fix at generation time so WeatherKit can return weather for where you are. The coordinate is used for that lookup and not stored anywhere off the device.

Both permissions are requested only when you tap to generate a briefing. You can revoke either one at any time in iOS Settings; the app will skip the corresponding part of the briefing if a permission is denied.

What stays on your device

• Your briefing entries, modeled as BriefingEntry records: the script text the language model wrote, the filename of the audio file in the app's sandbox, the duration in seconds, and the creation date. Stored in on-device SwiftData.
• The audio files themselves, written into the app's sandboxed Documents directory.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

On-device language model (Apple Intelligence)

The briefing script is written by Apple's on-device Foundation Models, accessed through the public LanguageModelSession API on iOS 26. This model executes on your iPhone's Neural Engine. Today's calendar titles and the weather summary are passed to the model in-process and never leave the device. The app does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute fallback for this feature.

Briefing generation is available only on Apple Intelligence-capable devices (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, or newer) running iOS 26 or later. On older devices the app is not installable.

WeatherKit

WeatherKit is Apple's weather framework. When you tap to generate a briefing, Pink Note sends a coordinate to Apple's WeatherKit API to retrieve current conditions and today's forecast for that location. The coordinate is sent only for the briefing window and is not retained server-side by Pink Note. Apple's own data handling for WeatherKit is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Voice playback

The briefing is voiced on-device by AVSpeechSynthesizer using the system voices installed on your iPhone. No audio is uploaded or streamed from a remote server. The resulting audio file is saved into the app's sandbox so you can replay past briefings.

In-app purchases

Free includes three briefings lifetime. Pro unlocks unlimited briefings, a one-year audio archive, and the Lock Screen widget. If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Note Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Note is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Note does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke all access and remove all on-device state, simply delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device beyond the WeatherKit lookup and StoreKit purchases described above, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
