Privacy

Last updated 19 April 2026

Voxnotes is a text-to-speech reader for iPhone. It runs entirely on your device. This page describes, in plain language, what that means for your data.

The short version

We do not operate any servers. Your notes, voices, playback, and playlists exist only on your iPhone and — if you choose to enable iCloud sync — inside your own Apple iCloud account. Voxnotes has no account system, collects no email address, and issues no unique user identifier.

We use Sentry for crash and performance diagnostics, and only when you explicitly opt in. Diagnostic data is anonymised and contains no personal content.

Who we are

Voxnotes is developed by IntegrIT Solutions, a sole-proprietor software studio based in Germany. The operator responsible for this site and the app is listed in the Imprint.

What we don’t do

  • No account. There is no sign-up, sign-in, or “Forgot password”. Installing the app is the only step.
  • No email collection. We never ask for your email address. If you write to us, we see your email only because you emailed us.
  • No third-party tracking. No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no ad network SDKs, no fingerprinting libraries. The App Store privacy report reflects this.
  • No sale of data. We have no data to sell.
  • No profiling. We do not build a profile of you, your notes, your listening habits, or your device.

What stays on your iPhone

Every core function of the app runs on your iPhone’s own hardware:

  • Speech synthesis. The neural voices are compiled into the app itself and executed locally. No text is transmitted to a server to generate audio.
  • Your notes. Imported notes, pasted text, share-sheet content, OCR output — all stored in an on-device database.
  • Playback state. Position, queue, shuffle history — on-device.
  • Preferences. Voice choice, playback speed, app icon, palette — on-device.

iCloud sync (optional)

If you enable iCloud sync in Settings, your notes, playlists, and preferences synchronise through your own Apple iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit framework. This means:

  • The data passes through Apple’s infrastructure, not ours.
  • It is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest on Apple’s servers under Apple’s Standard Data Protection. By default, the encryption keys are held by Apple, not by you and not by us.
  • If you enable Apple’s Advanced Data Protection for iCloud (off by default; opt-in in Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Advanced Data Protection), CloudKit-stored Voxnotes data becomes end-to-end encrypted, with the keys held only on your devices.
  • We have no access to the contents at any point, regardless of which protection mode you choose.
  • We do not see who has sync enabled, how often they sync, or what is being synchronised.

iCloud sync is off by default. You can turn it off at any time in Settings; doing so removes your Voxnotes data from iCloud (consistent with Apple’s own CloudKit behaviour).

Diagnostics (opt-in)

If you opt in to diagnostics in Settings, the app uses Sentry (sentry.io) to report crashes and performance issues. We use this data to fix bugs we wouldn’t otherwise hear about.

What is sent, and only when a crash or performance issue occurs:

  • Anonymous crash stack trace.
  • Approximate iOS version and device model class (e.g. “iPhone 14 Pro”).
  • Coarse memory/CPU metrics at the moment of the crash.
  • The version of Voxnotes you were running.

What is not sent:

  • Your notes, text, audio, listening history.
  • Your IP address — the Sentry SDK is configured with sendDefaultPii = false, so IP addresses, usernames and similar identifiers are not attached to events at the source. The Voxnotes Sentry project is also configured to discard IP addresses received at the edge.
  • Any unique identifier for you.
  • Any account or contact information.

Sentry acts as our data processor under GDPR Art. 28. Their data processing agreement is available at sentry.io/legal/dpa/. You can turn diagnostics off at any time in Settings; in-flight reports are dropped locally.

App Store and payments

Purchases (subscriptions and the one-time lifetime licence) are processed by Apple via StoreKit. Apple is the merchant of record. Apple sends us anonymised, aggregated sales data; we do not see your Apple ID, payment method, or personal billing details.

Apple’s privacy practices are governed by Apple’s own privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy/.

What if you contact us?

If you write to info@integritsol.de, your email is stored in our ordinary email system so we can reply and keep a thread. We keep messages for a maximum of 24 months for reference, then delete them. You can request earlier deletion at any time.

Your rights (GDPR)

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

  • Access any personal data we hold about you (in practice, likely only your emails).
  • Rectify it if it is incorrect.
  • Erase it.
  • Object to processing.
  • Data portability — ask us to send you a copy.
  • Complain to a supervisory authority. Under GDPR Art. 77 you may file a complaint with the data protection authority of the EU member state where you live, where you work, or where the alleged infringement took place. The authority competent for IntegrIT Solutions is the State Data Protection Commissioner (Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz) of the German federal state in which our registered seat is located — see the contact in our Imprint. The list of all sixteen German state authorities is published by the Federal Commissioner (bfdi.bund.de).

Because Voxnotes does not issue user identifiers or collect personal data in the ordinary course, there is typically nothing to access or erase beyond your email correspondence — if any.

To exercise any right, email info@integritsol.de with “Privacy request” in the subject. We will respond within 30 days.

Cookies

This website sets no cookies. It uses localStorage to remember which of the four app icons (and palette) you’ve chosen, so the site stays the colour you prefer between visits. That preference is stored on your device; we never see it.

Children

Voxnotes is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly process data from children.

Changes

If we materially change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for existing users, surface the change in the app.
