Effective Date: September 24, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to Volt, a simple note-taking app designed with your privacy in mind. We are committed to protecting your privacy and want to be transparent about how we handle (or rather, do not handle) your data. This Privacy Policy explains that all your notes and data are stored locally on your device and are not collected or transmitted by us.
2. Data Collection, Usage, and Third-Party Integrations
Volt does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal information or the content of your notes to any external servers or third parties. Everything you create in Volt stays on your device, under your control.
Optional Google Drive Cloud Backup
Connecting to Google Drive is strictly optional. It is provided solely as a solution for users who wish to back up their data to their own private cloud account. If you choose to enable this feature, your backups are sent directly to your personal Google Drive storage. We do not have access to your Google credentials, your private Google Drive files, or your backup data.
Firebase SDK & Scan OCR Feature
The app includes the Firebase SDK, which is strictly required to power the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) plugin used by the scan feature within note information types. This allows text recognition to work directly on your device or via necessary framework components, without exporting your personal notes or content to us.
The app also allows you to export your notes as `.volt` files. This action is initiated by you, and the files are saved to your device's local storage as per your instruction. We do not have access to these files unless you choose to share them externally yourself.
3. Pre-Registration Reward Terms & Conditions
If you pre-register for Volt on Google Play, you may be eligible to receive an in-app pre-registration reward. The following terms apply to this reward:
- Eligibility: The reward is available strictly to users who successfully pre-register for Volt on Google Play during the official pre-registration period and install the app within the redemption period following its official release.
- Redemption: The reward will be delivered automatically upon the first launch of the application on eligible devices, or through an in-app claim mechanism.
- Non-Transferable & No Cash Value: The reward (including any associated in-app items, features, or WATT currency) is virtual, non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and cannot be redeemed for legal currency or cash equivalent.
- Limitations: Limited to one (1) reward per Google Play account / user account. We reserve the right to revoke or withhold rewards in cases of fraud, abuse, or technical exploitation.
- Availability: Pre-registration rewards are distributed at our sole discretion and may be subject to regional availability or promotional deadlines specified by Google Play.
4. Data Security
Since all primary data is stored locally on your device (or in your personal, optional Google Drive account if configured), the security of your data largely depends on the security of your device and personal account. We recommend you use your device's built-in security features (like passcodes and biometric authentication) to protect your information. The `.volt` file format is designed to be a secure container for your notes when you export them.
5. Children's Privacy
Volt is not directed at individuals under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy and Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new document on this page. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when they are posted on this page.
