Privacy Policy

Welcome to NoorSense.

This Privacy Policy explains how NoorSense (“NoorSense”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the NoorSense mobile application and any compatible NoorSense hardware devices (collectively, the “Services”).

NoorSense is a privacy-focused journaling and self-reflection platform designed to perform analysis primarily on the user’s device.

NoorSense is intended solely for journaling, self-reflection, personal wellbeing, and habit-building purposes. NoorSense does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, or crisis intervention services, and information generated by the App should not be considered professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We are committed to minimizing data collection and giving users control over their personal information.

By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2.1 Information You Provide

The App may process information that you voluntarily provide, including:

• Journal entries and written reflections
• Voice recordings used for speech-to-text transcription
• Images selected or captured for text recognition (OCR)
• Mood selections and self-reflection responses
• User preferences and application settings
• Names assigned to connected NoorSense hardware devices

2.2 Device Information

The App may access certain device capabilities solely to provide requested functionality, including:

• Camera access for document and journal scanning
• Microphone access for voice journaling and transcription
• Local storage access for storing journals, AI models, and application data
• Bluetooth functionality for connecting to compatible NoorSense devices

The App does not access device capabilities for advertising or user tracking purposes.

2.3 Bluetooth Connectivity

The App may use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality to discover, connect to, and communicate with compatible NoorSense hardware devices, including the NoorSense Flower.

To support Bluetooth functionality, the App may request permissions such as:

• Bluetooth Scan
• Bluetooth Connect
• Nearby Devices permissions
• Location permissions where required by the operating system

Bluetooth communication is used exclusively to establish and maintain communication between the App and compatible NoorSense hardware devices.

The App may temporarily process:

• Device identifiers necessary for establishing a connection
• Connection status information
• Hardware configuration settings
• Device names assigned by users
• Hardware control commands such as lighting, color, animation, and movement controls

This information is used solely for device functionality and is not sold, shared, or used for advertising purposes.

2.4 Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, NoorSense does not intentionally collect:

• Personal journal content on our servers
• Audio recordings on our servers
• Images on our servers
• Contact lists
• SMS messages
• Call logs
• Precise location data
• Advertising identifiers for profiling
• Biometric identifiers

A core principle of NoorSense is privacy-first processing.

To the extent technically feasible, journal analysis, sentiment analysis, clustering, insight generation, speech transcription, text recognition, and AI-powered reflection tools are performed locally on the user’s device.

Your journal content is not transmitted to NoorSense servers for analysis during standard operation of the App.

NoorSense does not use journal content to train artificial intelligence models.

User content is stored locally on the user’s device.

This may include:

• Journal entries
• Generated insights
• Application settings
• Downloaded AI models
• Voice transcription results
• OCR results
• Bluetooth device preferences
• Connected hardware settings

Where supported by the application, data may be protected through encryption and device security features.

Users remain responsible for securing access to their devices.

Information processed by the App is used solely to:

• Provide journaling functionality
• Generate personal insights and reflections
• Perform sentiment analysis
• Perform theme and cluster analysis
• Enable AI-assisted self-reflection
• Enable voice-to-text transcription
• Enable optical character recognition (OCR)
• Enable Bluetooth device discovery and connectivity
• Operate compatible NoorSense hardware devices
• Synchronize user-selected hardware settings
• Improve application functionality and reliability
• Respond to support requests

We do not sell personal information.

We do not use journal content for advertising purposes.

We do not use journal content to train machine learning models.

NoorSense does not sell, rent, lease, or trade personal information.

We do not share journal content with third parties except:

• When required by applicable law
• To comply with legal obligations
• To protect the safety, rights, or property of users or NoorSense
• With your explicit consent

Bluetooth communication between the App and compatible NoorSense hardware devices occurs directly between the user’s device and the hardware accessory and is not used for advertising, profiling, or third-party marketing purposes.

The App may use third-party software libraries, frameworks, operating system services, and development tools necessary for operation.

Examples may include:

• Google Play Services
• Android system services
• Apple iOS system services
• Open-source AI frameworks
• Open-source speech recognition frameworks
• Open-source machine learning libraries

These services operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

NoorSense does not control the privacy practices of third-party providers.

Because journal content is stored locally on the user’s device, retention is primarily controlled by the user.

Users may:

• Delete journal entries
• Delete generated insights
• Remove Bluetooth device connections
• Clear application data
• Uninstall the App

Locally stored information may be removed when deleted by the user, subject to device operating system behavior and backup settings.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Security measures may include:

• Local encryption technologies
• Secure device storage mechanisms
• Access controls provided by the operating system

However, no method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should maintain appropriate device security measures, including passcodes, biometric locks, and software updates.

NoorSense is not directed toward children under the minimum age required by applicable laws in their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.

The Services may be used internationally.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that information may be processed in accordance with the laws applicable to your location and the jurisdictions in which NoorSense operates.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding personal information, including:

• Access
• Correction
• Deletion
• Restriction of processing
• Objection to processing
• Data portability

NoorSense is currently offered as a beta product. Features, functionality, user experience, and availability may change over time. Certain features may contain errors, operate unexpectedly, or become temporarily unavailable while the product is being developed and improved.

By participating in the NoorSense beta program, users acknowledge that the Services are experimental and agree to use them at their own discretion.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Changes become effective when the updated version is posted on our website or otherwise made available through the Services.

Continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
