Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 3, 2026

This privacy policy applies to all Record & Learn LLC products, services, and website interactions.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Record & Learn LLC handles information when you use the public website, submit a contact form, or use any Record & Learn LLC product including all iOS applications.

  • The public website at recordandlearn.info
  • Contact and inquiry forms submitted through the website
  • All iOS applications published by Record & Learn LLC
  • General company communications related to those interactions

2. Privacy-First Approach

Record & Learn LLC builds privacy-first software. We aim to keep data collection narrow, make trust boundaries easier to understand, and avoid collecting information that is not needed to operate the product or respond to an inquiry.

  • We prefer on-device and Apple-native workflows where practical
  • We avoid unnecessary tracking and broad data collection
  • We keep public marketing pages focused on verifiable proof instead of invasive analytics claims
  • We separate company-level website handling from app-specific policies when an app has materially different behavior

3. Information You May Provide Through the Website

If you contact us through the website, you may choose to provide:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Company name
  • Inquiry topic
  • Project, pilot, partnership, investor, or product-feedback details you include in your message

We use that information only to review the inquiry, respond, and continue the conversation if appropriate.

4. Product Data

All Record & Learn LLC apps are designed so that product data stays on-device or within Apple-managed services unless the product clearly states otherwise.

On-device defaults

All apps are privacy-conscious, Apple-first apps that avoid unnecessary external data handling. Data processing happens on-device whenever possible.

5. Marketing Client Data

When managing marketing campaigns on behalf of business clients, Record & Learn LLC may access and process the following types of client business information:

  • Business details such as business name, address, phone number, hours of operation, services offered, and pricing — used to create and manage ads, website content, and Facebook posts
  • Campaign performance data (clicks, impressions, spend, conversions) collected from third-party platforms such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads, used for client reporting and campaign optimization
  • Client business data is not shared with other clients, sold to third parties, or used for purposes unrelated to the client's marketing engagement
  • All content, websites, marketing materials, and deliverables created by Record & Learn LLC using client-provided business information remain the intellectual property of Record & Learn LLC — client-provided source materials (such as original photos and logos owned by the client) remain the client's property

6. iOS App Data & Analytics

Record & Learn LLC iOS apps are designed with a privacy-first approach. Here is how data is handled within our apps:

  • Apps use on-device processing for core functionality — Whisper for audio transcription and on-device AI models for generating flashcards, quizzes, and study materials
  • iCloud and CloudKit sync uses the user's own private iCloud database — Record & Learn LLC cannot access, read, or retrieve this data
  • Firebase Analytics may be used to collect anonymized, aggregate usage patterns (such as which features are used most frequently); this does not include personal content and can be managed through device settings
  • No user recordings, transcriptions, notes, flashcards, or personal content is transmitted to Record & Learn LLC servers

7. Device Permissions

Record & Learn LLC apps may request the following device permissions:

  • Camera: Used by Record & Learn (document scanning) and Backcountry Brain (species identification via live camera). Photos are processed on-device and never uploaded to our servers.
  • Microphone: Used by Record & Learn (lecture recording, voice practice) and MyfriendHana (voice commands). Audio is processed on-device.
  • Speech Recognition: Used for on-device transcription. Audio data is not sent to external servers.
  • Location: Used by Backcountry Brain for offline map positioning. Location data stays on-device.
  • Notifications: Used by MyfriendHana and other apps for reminders. Notification preferences are stored locally.

8. Third-Party Services and SDKs

Record & Learn LLC apps integrate with the following third-party services:

Apple Services

iCloud/CloudKit (optional sync), StoreKit (subscriptions), MapKit (maps in Backcountry Brain), Core ML (on-device AI). These are governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Map Tile Providers

Backcountry Brain may download map tiles from OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, or Esri for offline use. These providers may log standard web request data (IP address, request time).

Firebase

Used for anonymized analytics on select apps. Can be disabled in app settings.

No other third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs are used.

9. Cookies & Tracking

The Record & Learn LLC marketing website may use cookies or similar technologies. Here is how tracking is handled:

  • The website may use cookies for basic functionality such as language preferences and theme settings
  • Firebase SDK may collect anonymized analytics data to help understand site usage patterns
  • No personal profiling or behavioral advertising cookies are used on the marketing website
  • Users can control cookies through their browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some site functionality

10. How Information Is Used

Information covered by this policy may be used to:

  • Respond to contact requests and follow-up questions
  • Review product feedback, investor inquiries, pilot discussions, and partnership outreach
  • Operate product features where local or Apple-managed data handling is part of the experience
  • Maintain the security and functionality of the website and related communications

11. What We Aim Not to Collect

We try to avoid collecting more than is needed. In general, this means:

  • No unnecessary personal profiling through the marketing site
  • No sale of personal information
  • No broad claim that we collect usage data unless a product explicitly says so

12. Sharing and Service Providers

We may rely on infrastructure needed to operate the website or Apple platform distribution, but we do not describe those relationships as broad data-sharing arrangements unless required. Where Apple-managed services such as iCloud are involved, they are governed by Apple's own policies and account relationship with the user.

13. Children's Privacy

Record & Learn LLC complies with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

  • All apps are designed with privacy-first, on-device processing that avoids data collection from any user regardless of age
  • If a parent or guardian believes their child has provided personal information, contact us and we will promptly delete it

14. Data Deletion and Your Control

  • All app data stored on-device can be deleted by uninstalling the app
  • iCloud data can be managed through your Apple ID settings
  • You may request deletion of any information submitted through the website contact form by emailing us
  • We do not retain personal data beyond what is needed to respond to inquiries

15. Your Choices and Rights

You can choose whether to contact us through the website, what information to include, and whether to continue the conversation after an initial inquiry.

  • You may request that we stop using your inquiry information for follow-up
  • You may ask what information you submitted through a website inquiry
  • You may use app-specific controls, device settings, or Apple account settings where a product stores data locally or in Apple-managed services

16. Apple App Store Privacy Labels

Each app's App Store listing includes Apple's privacy nutrition labels describing data practices. These labels are consistent with this policy: our apps are designed around on-device processing and minimal data collection.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our products and services evolve. When we do, we will update the last-updated date on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
