Oryne Privacy Policy

What Oryne stores, and where

Oryne stores the things you capture: your thoughts, notes, voice transcripts, and imported images. These are stored on your device. Oryne syncs them through your own private iCloud (Apple's CloudKit), so they stay in sync across the devices signed in to your Apple Account. This sync is part of the app today. The developer cannot access this data. It stays within your private iCloud, and it is never stored on or routed through any developer server.

How AI works in Oryne

All of Oryne's AI features run on your device using Apple's on-device intelligence. This includes link summaries, themes, titles, and Ask the Ocean. No user content is sent to any external, third-party, or cloud AI service, for any feature. Your captures are read and organized on-device, and they stay there.

Microphone and photos

Microphone

Oryne uses the microphone only for voice capture, and only when you record. The audio is transcribed on your device so you can capture a thought by speaking.

Photos

Oryne accesses your photos only when you choose to import or attach an image. It does not browse or read your photo library in the background.

No selling, no advertising

Oryne does not sell your data. Oryne does not use your content for advertising. There is no tracking and no advertising profile. Because your content stays on your device and within your own private iCloud, there is nothing for the developer to collect, mine, or share.

Deleting your content

You are in control of your content. You can delete it in the app by deleting the captures or thoughts you no longer want. Deleting a thought removes it from your device and from your private iCloud sync across your devices.

Changes to this policy

This policy describes how Oryne works today. If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, this page will be updated with a new effective date before that change ships.
