Highlight Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Highlight (“we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you use the Highlight iOS application.
Highlight Intelligence creates transcripts, summaries, auto-named Highlights, and recording titles on your device. We do not send your recordings to our servers to generate them.
01Information stored and processed in the app
Highlight is designed to keep your recordings and related content private.
When you use Highlight, the app may store and process content such as:
- Audio recordings
- Highlights
- Highlight names
- Generated recording titles
- Notes
- Transcripts
- Summaries
- Other recording-related metadata
This content is stored in connection with your recordings inside the app and on your device. If you enable iCloud Sync, this content is also stored in your private iCloud account — see Section 02.
02iCloud Sync (optional)
Highlight includes an optional iCloud Sync feature that lets you access your recordings and related content across your Apple devices.
iCloud Sync is off by default. You can enable it in Settings and turn it off at any time.
When iCloud Sync is enabled:
- Your recordings and related content are stored in your private iCloud account, not on Cohdoo’s servers. Cohdoo has no access to this data.
- Synced data is governed by Apple’s iCloud terms and privacy policy.
- Synced data counts against your iCloud storage quota.
- Data is encrypted by Apple in transit and at rest. With iCloud Advanced Data Protection enabled, encryption keys reside only on your devices.
If you turn off iCloud Sync, previously synced data may remain in your iCloud account until you delete it there.
03On-device intelligence features
Highlight includes features such as transcription, summary, auto-named highlights, Auto-Named Recordings, search support for processed content, and transcript-based playback features.
When supported on your device, these features are created on device using Apple Intelligence related capabilities available through Apple’s platform.
We do not send your recordings to our servers to generate transcripts, summaries, auto-named highlights, or generated recording titles.
Some features require a compatible device that supports Apple Intelligence and related on-device capabilities.
Apple also provides its own Apple Intelligence and privacy disclosures, which govern Apple’s handling of Apple Intelligence features and related platform services on your device.
04How information is used
Highlight uses information stored in the app only to provide app functionality, such as:
- Recording and playback
- Marking and organizing highlights
- Creating transcripts, summaries, auto-named highlights, and generated recording titles on device when supported
- Letting you search recordings by title, notes, highlight names, and processed content
- Letting you follow along with a transcript during playback
- Syncing your recordings and related content across your devices when you enable iCloud Sync
- Allowing you to copy, export, or share recordings, audio files, and related content when you choose
We do not use your recordings or related content for advertising.
05Sharing and exporting initiated by you
Highlight lets you share recordings, export audio, and share related content when you choose.
If you share a recording, the shared file may include content attached to that recording, such as highlights, notes, transcripts, summaries, auto-named highlights, and generated recording titles.
If you export audio from a recording, the exported audio file may not include Highlight-specific content such as highlights, notes, transcripts, summaries, auto-named highlights, or generated recording titles.
Please review what you are sharing or exporting before sending it to others.
06What we collect
We do not collect personal information or recording content through our own servers as part of Highlight’s core recording and Highlight Intelligence features.
If you contact us directly, such as by email, we may receive the information you choose to provide in that message.
Your use of Apple’s App Store, iOS, Apple Intelligence, or other Apple services may also involve data practices governed by Apple’s own terms and privacy disclosures.
07Data retention and deletion
Your recordings and related content remain under your control on your device unless you choose to share or export them.
If you delete recordings or related content from the app, they are removed from Highlight, subject to how deletion and storage work on your device or in any storage location you choose to use.
If you have enabled iCloud Sync, deleting a recording in Highlight also removes it from iCloud. Previously deleted recordings may remain in your iCloud account if you disabled sync before deleting them.
08Third-party services
Highlight’s intelligence features are designed to work without sending your recordings to third-party AI services for processing.
The optional iCloud Sync feature stores data in your private iCloud account under Apple’s iCloud terms — see Section 02. If you choose to share, export, or store files through other Apple services or third-party services available on your device, those services may handle your data under their own privacy terms.
09Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new Privacy Policy on this page and update the “Last Updated” date.
