Inkpage privacy policy
This policy covers the Inkpage app for iPhone and iPad (on the App Store as “Inkpage: Notes & PDF Markup”).
Last updated November 6, 2026
Who we are
Inkpage is made by DOODLECUB (“we”) under the Doodle Cub name. Contact: [email protected].
What the app collects and uses
Inkpage works without an account and is not directed at children under 13. Your notes never reach us: they stay on the device and in your own iCloud. The app shows no ads and does not track you. It uses:
- Your device and your iCloud: Pages, handwriting, PDFs, recordings and tasks are stored on the device and, when iCloud sync is on, in your private iCloud account (Apple CloudKit). We cannot read them. You can turn sync off in Your data & privacy.
- Firebase Analytics: (Google), configured without the advertising identifier, to count anonymous events from a fixed list, such as “created a page”, “opened Search” or “exported a PDF”. Events never contain what you write, titles, file names, search words, recordings or anything about private pages. Firebase gives the installation a random app-instance ID, and Google may derive an approximate country or region from the IP address. Ad storage and ad personalisation are always off. Turn it off any time in Settings › Your data & privacy › Share anonymous usage data.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging: only if you switch on “News & offers from Inkpage” (off by default). Your device then gets a push token and joins message topics for news, offers and whether you use the free version or Pro. Messages never contain your notes. Switching it off leaves the topics. Task reminders are scheduled on the device and send nothing.
- On-device features: Handwriting and text in scans and photos are read with Apple’s on-device text recognition; recordings are transcribed with on-device speech recognition; translation uses Apple’s Translation on the device (Apple may download a language pack the first time); AI features such as search by meaning and summaries run on supported devices, and you choose which workspaces they may read. None of this sends your content to us or to an AI service.
- Camera, microphone and Photos: only after iOS asks you: the camera to scan paper into PDFs and add pictures, the microphone to record audio notes, and add-only Photos access to save a calendar wallpaper. Recordings and images stay in your notes.
- Calendar: only if you allow it, to show your events next to your tasks and link notes to them. Events are read on the device and are not uploaded.
- Face ID: only if you turn on the lock for private pages or workspaces. iOS checks your face; the app only learns whether it matched.
- Apple In-App Purchase: for Pro. Apple handles payment; we never see your card details or your Apple ID.
The study library (formulas, problems and solutions) is built into the app and works offline. Exports (PDF, Markdown, Office files, backup) leave the device only when you share or save them.
