Privacy Policy
Marjen is built so that your notes stay yours. We run no accounts, no analytics and no advertising. Your data lives in your iCloud, and it leaves your device only for the features you switch on, to the services named below.
What Marjen stores, and where
Notebooks, handwriting, typed notes, tasks, projects, people and places, meeting recordings and transcripts, calendar links and settings are stored on your device and synced through iCloud (CloudKit) to your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Apple's iCloud terms apply to that storage. We do not operate a server that holds your content, and we cannot read your iCloud data.
Marjen can also write an automatic backup of your data to your iCloud Drive. Those files are protected with the same on-device encryption as the app's own data.
What leaves your device, and why
Every item below is off until you turn it on in Settings → AI & Privacy or by connecting the service, and each is explained in the app before the first use.
| Feature | What is sent | To whom |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant, planning routines, task and project building | The notes, tasks and context relevant to your request; your first name and, if you allow it, an approximate location label | Anthropic (Claude), through our proxy |
| Handwriting to text, photographed calendars | The page image you choose | Anthropic (Claude), through our proxy |
| Meeting notes | The audio you record, for transcription; the transcript, for the summary | Deepgram (transcription) and Anthropic (summary), through our proxy |
| Notion export | The page or meeting you export | Notion, using the account you connect |
| Google or Microsoft calendar and mail | Nothing is uploaded; Marjen reads events and messages from the account you connect | Google / Microsoft, using OAuth; tokens stay in your device Keychain |
Our proxy is a small service we run on Cloudflare. It adds our API credentials and forwards the request; it does not store the contents of what you send. Cloudflare keeps standard technical request logs (time, size, status) for a short period. Anthropic and Deepgram process your content under their API terms and do not use it to train their models; Marjen opts out of Deepgram's model-improvement program on every request.
Data we never collect
- No usage analytics, crash-reporting services, advertising identifiers or trackers.
- No account or sign-up. We do not know who you are unless you email us.
- Health data (steps and sleep, if you allow Marjen to read them) is used only inside the app and is never sent to us or to any AI provider.
- Purchases are handled by Apple. We receive no payment details.
Device features Marjen may ask for
Camera (photos for tasks and notes), Contacts (linking a person to a contact), Calendars (showing your events), Location while in use (answering local questions and place reminders), Health (steps and sleep on Today), Face ID or Touch ID (unlocking protected notebooks), Local Network (recording on a nearby iPhone while you write on the iPad), Microphone (meeting recordings). Each is optional and requested only when you use the feature.
Security
Data on your device is protected by Apple's file encryption and is unavailable while the device is locked. Notebook passwords are never stored; a stretched, salted proof is kept so any of your devices can verify the password. Requests to our proxy are authenticated with Apple's App Attest so only genuine copies of Marjen can use it.
Children
Marjen is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your choices and rights
You can turn every AI feature off at any time, disconnect any service, delete recordings and notebooks, and remove all Marjen data from iCloud in iOS Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Manage Storage. Because we hold no copy of your content, deleting it there deletes it everywhere. For anything else, including requests under GDPR, UK GDPR or CCPA, email privacy@lochrannlabs.com.
Changes
We will post any change here and update the effective date. Material changes are also announced in the app before they take effect.
