Noetic is an AI-powered keyboard extension for iPhone and iPad. We take your privacy seriously. Privacy is not an afterthought at Noetic — it is a core principle built into every decision we make. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.
By using Noetic, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our app.
This notice is available in English. Upon request, we can provide it in any of the 22 scheduled languages of India. Please email us to request a translated copy.
Device Identifier (UUID): When you first launch Noetic, we generate a unique identifier and store it in your iPhone's Keychain. This identifier persists across app reinstalls and is used to track your account and sync your preferences across devices. We use this to enforce our two-device policy.
Email and Display Name: If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your email address and display name from the sign-in provider. These are stored to identify your account and send you important notifications.
Anonymous Crash Reports: We use Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash reports when the app encounters an error. These reports contain no personally identifiable information — only stack traces, device model, and iOS version. This helps us improve app stability.
Anonymous Usage Statistics: We track aggregate usage metrics such as the number of actions performed and total words processed (as a count only — never the actual text). These statistics help us improve the app and manage credit allocation.
We are built from the ground up to respect your digital boundary. Because iOS architecture enforces strict sandboxing, we cannot read password fields or access system-sensitive APIs.
iOS requires that custom keyboards request "Full Access" in order to make network requests. This is a system-level requirement, not specific to Noetic. Full Access in iOS does NOT grant access to your passwords, messages, or private data — iOS enforces strict sandboxing between keyboard extensions and system-sensitive APIs.
We require Full Access for one reason only: to send text to our AI processing backend over HTTPS for features like grammar fixing, tone rewriting, translation, and summarization. Without Full Access, the keyboard has no internet connectivity and our AI features cannot function. Standard QWERTY typing is processed entirely locally on your device and is never transmitted or stored.
We are technically incapable of reading password fields or accessing messaging app content. iOS's security model prevents this at the operating system level.
When you tap a Noetic action button (Fix, Tone, Assist, Summarize, or Translate), the text you have selected is sent to our AI processing backend. This happens only on your explicit action — never passively in the background.
During transmission, your text is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. Once processed by our AI model, the result is sent back to your keyboard. The original text is not stored or logged. It is processed and immediately discarded.
We do not use your text for training our AI models. Your writing is processed for inference only and treated as ephemeral.
We partner only with security-first services to operate the keyboard features:
Your text is sent to these AI providers only when you explicitly tap an action button. It is processed for inference only and immediately discarded. These providers do not use your text to train their models under our agreements. While these providers do not use your text to train their models, they may temporarily retain API request data for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring and safety purposes, in accordance with their own data processing agreements.
Two-Device Limit: Noetic accounts are linked to a maximum of 2 devices. This policy is enforced using Apple DeviceCheck tokens to prevent credit abuse and fraud.
Data Retention: Your device ID remains in your Keychain. If you delete the Noetic app, all local data is removed. If you wish to permanently delete your account, please email us.
