Public Privacy Policy
Law Student Notepad privacy policy
This policy explains how Law Student Notepad handles local study data, optional account sync, document processing, and AI-assisted workflows. It is written to stay aligned with the behavior of the current live build.
Legal notice
Privacy Policy
Thank you for using Law Student Notepad (“the App”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This short-form legal summary describes how data moves through the app and when external services are involved.
1. Data collection
Law Student Notepad is designed for local-first use, but it is not a blanket “Data Not Collected” product. Depending on the features you enable, the App may handle limited account and study data.
- If you stay in local or offline workflows, your settings and study data can remain on your device.
- If you sign in, the App handles your email address and authentication data through Firebase Authentication.
- If you enable sync, selected study content may be stored in Firebase services.
- If you invoke AI, upload, OCR, or cloud document workflows, selected files or text may be sent to the configured service for that task.
- The reviewed build does not include advertising SDKs, marketing trackers, or third-party analytics SDKs for ads.
2. Local data on your device
Some App features store information only on your device or browser storage, such as your preferences, settings, revision state, flashcards, notes, and other local study artifacts.
- That information can stay on your device when you use local-only workflows.
- It is not uploaded unless you explicitly enable sign-in, sync, or another networked workflow.
- Local data can be removed when you delete the App or clear local storage, subject to platform behavior.
3. Third-party services
The current version of Law Student Notepad does not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs, but it can use service providers for features you explicitly activate.
- Firebase services may be used for sign-in, sync, storage, and service protection.
- Configured AI endpoints may process selected text only when you invoke AI-assisted features.
- Document conversion or OCR-related services may be involved only when you choose those workflows.
4. Children’s privacy
Law Student Notepad is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children for advertising or marketing purposes. If the App’s data handling changes in the future, we will update this policy and follow applicable privacy requirements.
5. Changes to this Privacy Policy
If we change how the App handles data, including changes to accounts, cloud sync, AI workflows, or document services, we will update this Privacy Policy and the relevant public disclosures.
- We will update the privacy page.
- We may also update the App Store privacy answers and the in-app disclosure surfaces.

Plain-language summary
What this means in practice
1. You can work locally
Notes, flashcards, revision state, and other study artifacts can be kept in local app or browser/device storage for workflows that do not require cloud services.
2. Accounts are optional
If you create an account or sign in, the app uses Firebase Authentication and associated Firebase services to enable cloud-backed features such as sync.
3. Uploaded content is user-controlled
Documents, images, or OCR source material are only handled when you explicitly import or process them. They are not collected in the background.
4. AI is opt-in
AI-assisted features require explicit enabling, have in-app terms, and may send selected text or excerpts to the provider you configure for that task.
Data categories
What data may be handled
Account identifiers
If you sign in, your email address and the account credentials required by the authentication provider are handled to support account access and optional sync.
- Linked to your account when sign-in is enabled.
- Not used for advertising or cross-app tracking by this app.
User-generated study content
Case logs, flashcards, notes, revision metadata, and uploaded study documents are user-created content. These stay local unless you choose a cloud or processing workflow that sends them elsewhere.
- May be stored locally on-device or in browser/device storage.
- May be linked to your account when synced to Firebase.
Imported document and image content
If you import PDFs, ePub files, Office files, or images, the app may temporarily process that content for reading, OCR, conversion, export, or cloud storage depending on the workflow you start.
- Import and OCR are initiated by you.
- Storage destination depends on the mode you choose.
AI prompts and selected excerpts
If you enable AI generation, the app may send the text you enter and the excerpts you choose from notes, flashcards, cases, or documents to the configured AI service endpoint for the requested task.
- AI is disabled by default until you enable it.
- Do not submit privileged or client-identifiable information.
When data leaves the device
The app uses network services only for the workflows that need them.
Cloud sync
When you enable account-backed sync, app content can be stored in Firebase Cloud Firestore and related Firebase services.
AI processing
When you invoke AI features, selected text may be sent to the configured AI provider, such as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
File conversion or upload
Some document workflows may use cloud upload or conversion services if those features are configured and you choose to use them.
Third-party services
Services the app may rely on when features are enabled
Firebase
Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Storage, Core, and App Check are used to support sign-in, cloud sync, and related service protection when those capabilities are configured in the build and activated by the user.
OpenAI-compatible AI services
AI generation features can send selected text to a configured AI endpoint. The exact provider depends on the endpoint you configure in settings.
Document conversion services
Some conversion flows may call a configured document-processing service to transform study files, such as converting presentation content into PDF output.
On-device OCR libraries
Mobile OCR can use on-device text recognition components to extract text from images or rendered document pages without advertising or tracking intent.
