Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Modopodo is a personal note-taking app ("second brain"). Your notes are private. This policy explains what data the app processes, why, and your choices. Modopodo is operated by Christoph Sacher, Vienna, Austria ("we").
What we collect
- Account data: when you sign in with Apple or Google we receive your email address and, if you choose to share it, your name. We do not receive your Apple or Google password.
- Your content: the notes you write or dictate, and what the app derives from them (titles, summaries, tags, themes, people and places mentioned, reflections, idea summaries, and search embeddings).
- Voice recordings: when you use voice capture, audio is streamed for transcription. It is stored on your device only until it has been transcribed, then deleted. We do not keep audio on our servers.
- Usage counters: the number of AI requests per day, to enforce fair-use limits.
We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics SDKs, and we do not sell or share your data for marketing.
How your data is used
Only to provide the app's features: storing and syncing your notes across your devices, organizing them, answering your questions about them, generating reflections, and transcribing voice notes.
Service providers
- Supabase (database, authentication, server functions) — data stored in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany).
- Anthropic (Claude AI) — processes note text to organize notes, answer questions and generate reflections.
- OpenAI — processes voice audio to produce transcripts.
- Apple and Google — sign-in only.
These providers process data on our behalf to deliver the service. Under their API terms, data sent through their APIs is not used to train their models.
Security and access
Data is encrypted in transit. Each account can only access its own data; this is enforced in the database itself. We do not read your notes, except where required to investigate a problem you report to us or where required by law.
Retention and deletion
Your data is kept while your account exists. You can delete individual notes at any time, and delete your entire account in Settings → Delete account, which permanently removes your account and all associated data from our servers. You can export all notes in Settings → Export all notes.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, export and delete your data, and to object to or restrict processing. Contact us to exercise these rights. You may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in Austria: Datenschutzbehörde).
Children
Modopodo is not directed at children under 16.
Changes
We will update this page if our practices change and revise the date above.
