ResearchNote AI Privacy Policy (iOS)ResearchNote AI 隱私權政策(iOS)

Last updated: August 22, 2026最後更新:2026 年 8 月 22 日

1. Local-first ResearchNote AI

ResearchNote AI Personal for iOS has no account, sign-in, or BridgeAIWorks cloud sync. We do not operate a backend that receives your workspace. The app has no advertising, cross-app tracking, analytics, or crash-reporting SDK.

2. What stays on your device

Projects, experiments, literature metadata and PDFs, notebooks, handwriting, images, recordings and transcripts, research notes, AI outputs, display name, photo or emoji, and preferences are kept in the app's private local storage. ResearchNote AI does not upload them to BridgeAIWorks. Apple device or iCloud backup that you enable may include app data; that backup is controlled by Apple and your device settings, not by BridgeAIWorks.

3. Camera, photos, files, and microphone

Camera, photo-library, file, and microphone access are used only after you choose the related feature and grant iOS permission. OCR and transcription run on your device. A recording, selected item, recognized text, or transcript is not uploaded to BridgeAIWorks by ResearchNote AI.

4. Literature search

When you search for literature through Crossref, the search terms you enter are sent to api.crossref.org to return results. Crossref handles that request under its own terms and privacy practices. Do not enter sensitive information into a literature-search query.

5. Optional AI features: bring your own key

AI features are optional. Your API key is stored in the iOS Keychain and is not included in a workspace export. Before each request, ResearchNote AI shows the destination and the exact payload and asks for your consent. Only the content you select is sent directly to the provider you choose, such as Gemini, an OpenAI-compatible provider, Ollama, or LM Studio.

BridgeAIWorks does not proxy, receive, store, or train on that request content. The selected provider processes it under its own terms, privacy policy, retention settings, and account rules. Removing a key stops future requests but does not delete material already sent to a provider.

6. Purchases

Apple StoreKit and the App Store handle purchases and payment. ResearchNote AI reads product, entitlement, and transaction-status information needed to unlock features; it does not receive your full payment information.

ResearchNote AI offers auto-renewing monthly and yearly subscriptions. The current United States prices are US$0.99 per month and US$9.99 per year. The price, currency, billing period, and any offer shown in your local App Store before purchase control. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple Account subscription settings. A legacy lifetime entitlement may remain available to eligible existing users, but it is no longer offered for sale.

7. Retention, export, and deletion

You can edit and export your content, move applicable items to Trash, restore them, or permanently delete them in the app. Deleting the app can remove its local container. Apple or system backups and copies you exported are controlled by you or Apple. Because there is no account or BridgeAIWorks server workspace, we have no remote workspace to delete or restore for you.

8. Support communications

If you voluntarily email support@bridgeaiworks.com, we use the email and any attachment to answer your request and meet applicable legal obligations. Sending support material is optional and is not the same as automatic collection by the app. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive research material or API keys.

9. No sale, advertising, or tracking

BridgeAIWorks does not sell personal information from ResearchNote AI for advertising and does not use ResearchNote AI for cross-app tracking.

10. Sensitive research and AI safety

Review the provider's practices before sending sensitive, confidential, personal, health, or regulated research material to an AI provider. AI output can be incomplete or incorrect and is not medical, clinical, diagnostic, legal, or other professional advice. Verify important conclusions against original sources and qualified professional guidance.

1. 以本機為主的 ResearchNote AI

iOS 個人版 ResearchNote AI 沒有帳號、登入或 BridgeAIWorks 雲端同步服務。我們不營運接收你工作區內容的後端伺服器。App 不含廣告、跨 App 追蹤、分析或當機回報 SDK。

2. 留在裝置上的資料

專案、實驗、文獻中繼資料與 PDF、筆記本、手寫內容、影像、錄音與逐字稿、研究筆記、AI 輸出、顯示名稱、照片或 emoji,以及偏好設定,都保存在 App 私有的本機儲存空間。ResearchNote AI 不會把它們上傳給 BridgeAIWorks。你啟用的 Apple 裝置或 iCloud 備份可能包含 App 資料;該備份由 Apple 與你的裝置設定控制,並非由 BridgeAIWorks 控制。

3. 相機、照片、檔案與麥克風

只有在你選擇相關功能並授予 iOS 權限後,App 才會使用相機、照片圖庫、檔案或麥克風。OCR 與語音轉錄會在你的裝置上執行。ResearchNote AI 不會將錄音、選取項目、辨識文字或逐字稿上傳給 BridgeAIWorks。

4. 文獻搜尋

當你透過 Crossref 搜尋文獻時,你輸入的搜尋字詞會傳送至 api.crossref.org 以取得結果。該請求受 Crossref 自己的條款與隱私權做法規範。請勿在文獻搜尋欄位輸入敏感資訊。

5. 選用 AI 功能:自備金鑰

AI 功能為選用功能。你的 API 金鑰儲存在 iOS Keychain,且不會包含在工作區匯出檔中。每次請求前,ResearchNote AI 都會顯示目的地與確切傳送內容,並向你取得同意。只有你選取的內容會直接傳送至你指定的供應商,例如 Gemini、相容 OpenAI 的供應商、Ollama 或 LM Studio。

BridgeAIWorks 不會代理、接收、保存或用這些請求內容訓練模型。所選供應商會依其條款、隱私權政策、保存設定與帳號規則處理內容。移除金鑰會停止未來請求,但不會刪除已傳送給供應商的材料。

6. 購買

Apple StoreKit 與 App Store 處理購買和付款。ResearchNote AI 只會讀取解鎖功能所需的商品、權益與交易狀態資訊,不會取得你的完整付款資訊。

ResearchNote AI 提供自動續訂的月費與年費訂閱。美國目前價格為每月 US$0.99、每年 US$9.99;實際價格、幣別、計費週期與任何優惠,以你購買前本地 App Store 顯示的資訊為準。除非你在 Apple 帳號的訂閱設定中取消,訂閱會自動續訂。既有合資格使用者可能仍保有舊版終身權益,但該方案已不再販售。

7. 保存、匯出與刪除

你可以在 App 內編輯與匯出內容,將適用項目移入垃圾桶、還原或永久刪除。刪除 App 可能移除其本機容器。Apple 或系統備份,以及你匯出的副本,均由你或 Apple 控制。由於沒有帳號或 BridgeAIWorks 伺服器工作區,我們沒有可代你刪除或還原的遠端工作區。

8. 支援聯絡

若你主動寄信至 support@bridgeaiworks.com,我們會使用該 email 與附件回覆你的請求,並履行適用的法律義務。寄送支援資料是選擇性的,並不等同於 App 自動蒐集資料。請勿傳送不必要的敏感研究材料或 API 金鑰。

9. 不出售、不投放廣告、不追蹤

BridgeAIWorks 不會為廣告目的出售 ResearchNote AI 的個人資訊,也不會使用 ResearchNote AI 進行跨 App 追蹤。

10. 敏感研究與 AI 安全提醒

將敏感、機密、個人、健康或受管制的研究材料傳送至 AI 供應商前,請先審閱該供應商的做法。AI 輸出可能不完整或不正確,並非醫療、臨床、診斷、法律或其他專業建議。重要結論應回查原始來源,並向合格專業人士確認。
