Legal and Privacy Questions
Does Goodnotes use personal data, such as recordings or transcripts, to train its AI features?
Goodnotes does not access or collect data from your Notebooks to train its AI features. Users may voluntarily submit data through the ‘Feature Feedback’ option as set out in our terms and conditions under section 3.7.1. or by giving their feedback on the AI features. Goodnotes may utilize this information to enhance its services exclusively voluntarily. Our proprietary machine-learning model powers Audio Transcription and operates entirely on the device. This feature functions solely on the device. The recorded and transcribed data remains local, preventing access, including by Goodnotes. Consequently, no data is transmitted, and neither Goodnotes nor any third party can access it unless you consent to provide this as set out above.
For comprehensive details on Goodnotes’ data handling practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy here.
What happens to my outputs and data processed when I use Audio Transcription?
The data created using the Audio Transcription feature is only processed within the user's Goodnotes application. This data is essential to the user's note-taking content and is treated as such.
User data, including information generated by Audio Transcription, is kept highly confidential. Goodnotes does not access or store user note content unless explicit permission is given or such access is necessary for troubleshooting during customer support interactions.
Goodnotes strictly follows data protection standards to protect user information. User data, including that generated by Audio Transcription, is not shared or disclosed to third parties.
