Privacy

Last updated: October 17, 2026

Notju is provided by Ark to keep your lecture sources, notes and study plan in one place. This page explains what data the web, iPhone and iPad apps process and how you can manage it. When you sign in with the same account, the content you saved is available in all of these apps.

Your account and your content

To create an account we ask for your name, email address and a password. Your password isn’t stored as plain text, only as a one-way hash. We also remember the language you use Notju in, so emails and messages reach you in it. Courses, notes and their versions, study topics, file details, the status of jobs and usage amounts are kept in our database. Photos, PDFs, text files and recordings you upload are kept in private file storage.

Your content belongs to your account; Notju has no public sharing. Account details are used to sign you in and manage your account, and your content is used to store and edit it and to finish the jobs you start. We keep them until you delete the content or your account. We don’t sell your personal information, don’t share it for advertising and don’t show ads.

Data sent to AI

Notju’s AI provider is Anthropic (Claude). When you start reading a photo or PDF, the images you chose and images of the PDF pages are sent to Anthropic. To write an organized or annotated note, text taken from the sources you chose and the instructions for the note are processed by Anthropic. When you start a transcript, the audio of the recording is sent in parts to Groq, our transcription provider, with the course name and topic titles as hints for recognizing terms. The transcript is then sent to Anthropic to fix recognition errors; numbers and words it isn’t sure about are marked in the note. If you use “Edit with AI”, the text of the note is sent to Anthropic; source links and figure images are not. If Ju is on, the text of your notes is sent to Anthropic so Ju can write your course book and plan. Figures cropped from photos and PDFs are stored only in your account and are deleted when you delete their source. The permission screen names the providers before anything is sent; reading images, writing notes and transcription are separate services.

On iPhone and iPad, “Allow this time” covers only the open job. “Always allow” remembers the provider, kind of data and purpose shown, for this account on this device. You can remove it in Settings → Permissions → AI and data permissions. Notju asks when you start creating a note and continues with what you asked for once you agree. It asks again when a new provider or kind of data is needed.

Only saving files or writing notes yourself doesn’t start any of these AI jobs. Transferring a photo word for word still needs AI to read the text in the image first. If your content includes personal information, it may be sent to the provider too. Remove personal information you don’t need before you start, and make sure you have permission to use other people’s content and voices.

These providers process data under their own terms, and processing may take place outside your country. Their retention is separate from deleting something in Notju. For details, see the Anthropic Privacy Policy and the Groq Privacy Policy.

Emails and technical records

Account emails such as verification codes and password reset links are delivered by our email provider, Resend, which processes your name, email address and the message. These emails don’t sign you up for marketing.

We keep when your sessions were created and when they expire, along with technical details of your app or browser, to keep your account secure. Records derived from your IP address and your requests are used to limit requests that come too often. Server and infrastructure error and access logs may contain technical details needed to run the service and investigate problems.

The number of AI jobs, the model used, how much text or audio was processed and the status and errors of jobs are kept with your account. We use them to apply usage limits, keep jobs running and fix problems.

To see how the service is used, we record which days you open Notju: the app version if you use the iPhone or iPad app, or the kind of device (computer, Android, iPhone or iPad) if you use a browser. If you create your account on the web, we also note where you came from, keeping only the name of the site or the utm_source tag in the link. AI usage amounts and how many accounts are deleted each month are also looked at in total. These records don’t contain your notes, recordings or anything you write, are seen only as statistics by Notju’s owner and are not sent to any third-party analytics tool. The daily records are deleted after 13 months; when you delete your account, they stay only as counts under a random name that can’t be linked back to you.

Purchases

When you buy Notju Pro in the iPhone or iPad app, Apple takes the payment; your card and Apple Account details never reach Notju. Purchases and restores go through RevenueCat, our subscription provider. Your Notju account number is sent to RevenueCat to tell which account a purchase belongs to, and RevenueCat processes Apple’s purchase record (the product, transaction numbers, purchase, renewal and expiry dates, cancellations and refunds, and whether the purchase was real or a test). No advertising identifier is sent. Our server reads your subscription status from RevenueCat and saves the product, the expiry date, whether it renews and whether it was a test. Renewals, cancellations and refunds are updated through RevenueCat’s notifications. We use this to turn on and keep Pro and to follow subscription revenue. When you delete your account, your subscription record in Notju and your customer record at RevenueCat are deleted; Apple keeps its own purchase records. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy for details.

Information kept on your device

The web app uses a session cookie to keep you signed in. Unsaved note drafts and the progress of unfinished uploads may be kept in your browser’s local storage, and parts of a recording are kept in the browser until the upload finishes, so they can be recovered. Deleting your account from another device may not clear these copies.

On iPhone and iPad, your sign-in is kept in the Apple Keychain. Unsaved drafts and recordings are kept in the app’s private area on the device, and these folders are left out of device backups. A lecture you record stays on that device after it’s uploaded, so you can listen to it from your note. Once the note is made, the audio file may be deleted from the server; the transcript and the note stay in your account. The progress of unfinished uploads, view preferences and the AI permission remembered for this account are kept on the device too. The camera, photo picker, file picker and microphone are only used when you use those features; iOS asks for permission for the camera and microphone. Choosing a file doesn’t by itself mean you allow it to be sent to AI.

If you use a shared device, sign out when you’re done. To remove local copies, clear this site’s data in your browser; this also loses drafts and recordings not yet saved to the server. In the mobile app you can delete a local draft or recording from its screen. Signing out doesn’t delete recoverable local drafts. Deleting the app removes its local files but not your account on the server.

Deleting your content and account

You can manage your notes and sources in your workspace. To delete your account completely, sign in, open Account settings from your profile and confirm Delete my account with your password. This removes your account and its data from our active database; stored files are cleaned up in the background. You can’t undo this from the app, so download any sources you want to keep first. On iPhone or iPad, open account settings, enter your password under Delete my account and confirm Delete for good; the drafts, recordings, upload progress, remembered AI permission and sign-in for that account are also removed from the device.

Technical logs, existing backups and data already sent to AI providers may not be deleted at the same moment. You may also need to clear site data in your browser for local copies.

Where your data is processed

Notju is run from Türkiye. Our servers and the providers named on this page (Anthropic, Groq, Resend, RevenueCat and Apple) may store and process your data outside your country, including in the European Union, the United States and Türkiye. The laws there may differ from those where you live.

Your rights

You can see, correct, download and delete most of your data in the app yourself: edit or delete notes and sources, download notes and original files, change your name and password, and delete your account. You can also ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or ask a question about this page through the Support page. We answer within 20 working days and won’t treat you differently for asking.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights under local law, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act in the United States, PIPEDA in Canada, the Privacy Act 1988 in Australia or the Privacy Act 2020 in New Zealand. If you aren’t happy with our answer, you can complain to your privacy regulator, for example the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in New Zealand.

Children

Notju isn’t meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Do Not Track

Notju doesn’t track you across other sites or apps and has no advertising or analytics trackers, so it treats every visit the same way whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track signal.

Changes and questions

When the way Notju processes data changes, we update this page and its date. For help with your account, your content or this page, use the Support page.
