Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 7, 2026

Privacy at a glance

• Your audio stays on your iPhone unless you turn on encrypted audio backup. Audio backup is a Précis Pro feature. Précis encrypts the audio before upload and cannot read the backup. Free-plan audio is not uploaded.
• Précis receives transcript text and content you import. This helps create and sync your notes and powers features such as Find, Ask Précis, and meeting preparation.
• Précis does not use your meeting content to train models.
• Précis does not sell your data, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.
• Sharing a meeting gives the recipient a separate copy. Revoking a share does not remove a copy the recipient already accepted.
• You can delete your account in the app. Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account and device information

• Account identifier. Précis receives a unique code linked to the iCloud account you use. Signing in with iCloud does not give us your name, email address, Apple Account password, or contacts.
• Device and security information. Précis creates a device identifier, verifies that requests come from a genuine copy of the app, and issues a short-lived session token.
• Notification token. If notifications are available, Précis stores the token needed to wake the app when processing finishes. Silent notifications do not contain audio, transcripts, minutes, or other meeting content.

1.2 Meeting content

• Recordings and imports. Précis handles recordings, supported audio files, plain text, timed transcripts, and PDFs with readable text that you choose to add.
• Transcripts. Recordings and audio imports are transcribed on your iPhone. Imported text and readable PDF text are handled as transcript content.
• Meeting results. Précis stores minutes, suggested Next Moves, Ongoing Topics, Follow-Ups, Research Cards, source links, and drafts created from your meetings. Ask Précis conversation history stays on your iPhone and is not synced.
• Templates. Précis stores the built-in and customized templates used to organize your minutes.
• Shared meetings. When you share a meeting with another Précis user, Précis stores the invitation, acceptance, recipient copy, and the information needed to deliver any shared encrypted audio.
• Find data. Précis creates search data from your transcripts and minutes, kept separate for each account. This lets Pro users search by meaning as well as exact words.

1.3 Purchases, security, and diagnostics

• Subscription status. Précis receives the product, transaction, and subscription status needed to unlock paid features. The App Store handles payment. We do not receive your card number or billing address.
• Security and deletion records. Précis keeps limited records for authentication, abuse prevention, account changes, and deletion. These records do not contain audio, transcripts, prompts, generated results, or payment details.
• Service logs. Précis records which service was requested, whether it succeeded, how long it took, and sync activity. Logs do not include request contents, sign-in credentials, or meeting content.
• On-device diagnostics. Précis uses iPhone system diagnostics and local logs to help find problems. They are not automatically sent to Précis.

1.4 Connected Zoom account

• Optional connection. If you connect Zoom, Précis receives your Zoom user and account identifiers and display name. It stores encrypted access credentials to keep the connection working. Précis does not receive your Zoom password.
• Meeting notes. When notes are enabled and Zoom permits sharing, Précis receives live transcript text, speaker names and timing, and meeting identifiers. It uses these to create and sync your notes. Précis does not save Zoom audio or video. Notes can continue while the iPhone app or Zoom panel is closed.
• Your choices. Précis stores your automatic-notes and template choices, time zone, and capture times. Choosing a template for a calendar meeting sends its Zoom meeting number and scheduled times, not the full meeting link or invitee list.
• Disconnecting and deletion. Disconnecting in Settings > Zoom stops capture and removes saved access credentials. Existing notes follow your usual retention settings and can be deleted in Précis. Précis keeps limited capture records to prevent duplicate notes and apply usage allowances, even if a meeting is deleted. Account deletion removes the connection and capture records. Zoom’s own handling of your information is governed by its privacy policy.

2. How We Use Information

Précis uses this information only to:

• Set up and protect your account.
• Record, transcribe, organize, sync, search, and reprocess meetings.
• Create minutes, Next Moves, Ongoing Topics, Follow-Ups, Ask Précis answers, Prep Briefs, Research Cards, and drafts.
• Back up encrypted audio when a Précis Pro user turns on audio backup.
• Share a meeting when you ask Précis to do so.
• Confirm subscriptions and apply plan limits.
• Prevent abuse and fix service problems.

Précis does not use your information for advertising, cross-app tracking, data sales, or decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects.

3. What Stays on Your iPhone and What Précis Receives

• Recordings and audio imports are transcribed on your iPhone. Local recordings stay there unless you turn on encrypted audio backup.
• Transcript and imported text are sent to Précis. Précis needs that text to create and sync meeting results, run Find and Ask Précis, prepare for meetings, and support related features.
• Supported requests normally use Apple Private Cloud Compute on a compatible iPhone. Précis sends only the content needed for that feature and meeting. If PCC is unavailable, Précis may complete the request through its standard service unless you cancel or lock the app.
• Audio backup is optional, Pro-only, and encrypted before upload. Précis cannot decrypt the backup. A device with your audio-backup key is required to play, download, or recover it.

4. How Précis Creates Results

Précis uses only the meeting content needed for the feature you choose:

• Minutes and Next Moves use the transcript, selected template, and relevant meeting history.
• Ongoing Topics use minutes and source links from relevant meetings in your library, including meeting copies shared with you.
• Ask Précis uses your question, recent messages when needed to understand a follow-up, and relevant parts of your own transcripts and minutes. Conversation history remains on your iPhone.
• Prep Briefs use the upcoming meeting title and relevant content from your Précis meetings. Calendar attendees, email addresses, agenda notes, locations, and meeting links are not sent.
• Research Cards use the selected Next Move and current public sources. Précis saves the finished card and its source links in your account.
• Drafts use the selected meeting content. Précis does not send messages or store recipient details.

Précis uses contracted service providers to host data and create these results. They may process only the limited information Précis sends for the requested feature, must protect it under their agreements with Précis, and may not use meeting content to train models. Précis disables content logging and response storage for production meeting requests.

5. Where Data Is Stored

• On your iPhone. Local recordings, transcripts, minutes, settings, keys, Ask Précis history, and diagnostics are stored on the device.
• In your Précis account. Précis stores account details, synced meeting content, templates, Ongoing Topics, Follow-Ups, sharing records, subscription status, Research Cards, drafts, and deletion records.
• In encrypted audio backup. If a Pro user turns it on, Précis stores an encrypted copy that Précis cannot read.
• In Find. Précis stores account-scoped search data for Pro search.
• In short-lived service storage. Précis briefly caches subscription status and other operational state needed to keep the app responsive.

Data is encrypted in transit and cloud data is encrypted at rest. On-device data uses iPhone data protection. Audio download links expire after one hour.

6. Data Retention

• Active account content. Précis keeps meeting content, templates, Ongoing Topics, Follow-Ups, Research Cards, drafts, and Find data while your account is active unless you delete them sooner.
• Cloud transcripts. In Settings, choose whether to keep cloud transcripts or delete them after minutes are ready. Précis follows any choice already saved for a meeting. Some features may then need a transcript saved on one of your devices.
• Deleted meetings and templates. Cloud audio is removed immediately. Other deleted meeting content and custom templates can remain recoverable for up to 30 days before permanent deletion.
• Shared copies. A meeting accepted by another user remains in that user’s account until they delete it. Revoking the share stops future acceptance and shared-audio downloads.
• Inactive accounts. Précis may delete an empty account after 90 days of inactivity. An account with saved content or a lapsed subscription may be deleted after 2 years of inactivity. Active subscribers are exempt. Signing in during the 30-day grace period cancels deletion.
• Security records. Authentication, device-verification, and deletion-audit records are kept for up to 365 days. Remaining deletion-audit records are anonymized after account deletion.
• Deletion work records. Temporary records are kept only as long as needed to finish and confirm deletion.
• Session tokens. Session tokens expire after 24 hours and are not stored by the service.
• Ask Précis history. Conversation history remains on your iPhone until you delete the thread, clear local app data, or delete the app.

7. Account Deletion and Data Access

Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account to delete your account. After the service accepts the request, Précis disables the account, begins permanent deletion, and clears Précis account data from that iPhone.

Deletion covers meetings, transcripts, minutes, templates, Ongoing Topics, Follow-Ups, Research Cards, drafts, audio backups, Find data, sharing records, notification tokens, security keys, subscription records, and the account itself. Temporary deletion records may remain only while Précis finishes or verifies the work. A meeting copy another user already accepted remains in that user’s account.

Deleting your account does not cancel your App Store subscription. Cancel it separately in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.

You can export selected meeting data from Settings → Account → Export Your Data. For other access, correction, portability, or deletion requests, contact us as described in §15. We will verify your identity before responding.

8. International Data Transfers

Précis and its service providers may process data in the United States and other countries where they operate.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Précis relies on approved transfer safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required. You may request information about those safeguards as described in §15.

9. Your Privacy Rights

9.1 EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access your personal data.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Delete your data.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Receive portable data.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Complain to your local data-protection authority.

Précis mainly processes your data to provide the service you requested. It also relies on legitimate interests to secure the service, prevent abuse, diagnose problems, and confirm deletion. Pliologik LLC is the data controller. Its contracted service providers act on its instructions.

Contact us as described in §15 to exercise these rights. We respond to verified requests within 30 days unless the law allows more time.

9.2 California

California residents may have the right to know, access, correct, or delete personal information and to receive equal service after exercising those rights. Précis does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Précis collects these categories of personal information:

• Account and device identifiers.
• Subscription and transaction information.
• Basic network and service activity.
• Audio you choose to record or import.
• Meeting content, questions, minutes, templates, Follow-Ups, Research Cards, drafts, and shared copies.
• Results and search data created from meeting content.

Contact us as described in §15 to exercise these rights. We respond to verified California requests within 45 days unless the law allows more time.

10. Tracking and Advertising

Précis does not track you across other apps or websites. It does not use advertising identifiers, advertising services, outside analytics tools, or data brokers. Précis does not show a tracking-permission prompt because it does not track.

11. Permissions Précis May Request

• Microphone — to record when you choose. A recording can continue while the app is in the background or the iPhone is locked.
• iCloud account — to create your Précis account identifier. Précis cannot read your iCloud Drive, Photos, Notes, Contacts, or other iCloud content.
• Notifications — for optional meeting reminders and processing updates. A reminder may show a meeting title or short Follow-Up text, depending on your notification-preview settings.
• Face ID — only if you turn on App Lock. Précis receives the success or failure result, not biometric data.
• Calendar — optional and off by default. Précis can show events from calendars you choose and can open a prefilled event editor when you ask. It does not change or delete existing events. Attendees, email addresses, agenda notes, locations, and meeting links stay on your iPhone. A meeting title may be sent when you record or prepare for that meeting.
• Reminders — only when you ask Précis to add a selected item to Reminders.

Précis does not request access to your camera, photo library, location, contacts, or health data.

12. Security

• Précis verifies devices and authenticates every service request.
• Data is encrypted in transit and cloud data is encrypted at rest.
• Audio backups are encrypted on your iPhone before upload. Précis cannot recover a backup if none of your devices has the key.
• Account data and Find data are separated by user.
• Access is rate-limited and service credentials are kept outside the app and source code.

No system is perfectly secure. Report a suspected security problem as described in §15.

13. Children’s Privacy

Précis is not intended for children under 13 or anyone below the minimum age for digital consent in their country unless a parent or guardian has given the consent required by law. If you believe a child has provided personal information through Précis, contact us as described in §15.

14. Changes to This Policy

Précis may update this policy. For a material change, we will update the effective date and, where practical, show a notice in the app. We will ask for consent when the law requires it.
