Polynote grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app for personal, educational, or professional purposes. You may not:
You retain full ownership of all content you create using Polynote, including:
We do not claim ownership of your content. All recordings and transcripts are stored locally on your device.

You are solely responsible for backing up your data and ensuring your use complies with all applicable laws.

Failure to obtain proper consent may result in legal liability. Polynote is not responsible for your use of the recording features.
Polynote offers optional integration with Google services:
When using Google services, you agree to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. You can disconnect Google services at any time without losing locally stored data. All core features work fully offline without Google integration.
Polynote uses third-party AI services to enhance your experience:
When you use AI study materials features, your transcript text is sent to OpenAI via our backend proxy. Audio files are never uploaded. Study materials are generated once and cached locally. You can configure your own OpenAI API key or disable AI features in Settings. Use of OpenAI services is subject to OpenAI's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Polynote and its contents, features, and functionality are owned by us, licensed to us, or otherwise used by permission, including app design, software code, algorithms, transcription, and study material generation features. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
We may terminate or suspend access to the app if you breach these terms. Locally stored data will remain on your device.
These Terms of Service are governed by applicable laws. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect.
