GeekMemo Privacy Policy
For updating the official website privacy page: https://www.z-studio.asia/products/geekmemo/privacy Applicable Scope: GeekMemo Desktop Application (macOS, Windows) Effective / Updated Date: 2026-08-15
GeekMemo is provided by Z Studio. We adhere to: No default collection or upload of note content; no account system in place.
1. What Information Do We Collect?
We do not actively collect personally identifiable information such as name, email, or phone number, nor do we upload your note content to Z Studio servers.
The following may be stored locally (all stored on your device):
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Note Files | .md files and associated resources within your selected folder, fully under your control |
| Application Preferences | Note library path, last opened note, panel layout, etc., stored locally |
| AI Configuration (Optional) | Endpoint, model name, API Key, custom Prompt; stored only locally |
| Sandbox Bookmarks (MAS) | For Mac App Store version to restore directory access, may save security-scoped bookmarks |
Excluded: Account registration, cloud sync, usage analytics / tracking, advertising identifiers.
2. AI Features and Network Transmission
The app does not include a default large language model. Requests are only sent to your specified endpoint when you have subscribed to GeekMemo Pro, configured an OpenAI-compatible interface, and use the following features:
- AI Formatting / Polishing: Full text of current document + corresponding Prompt
- AI Fine-tuning: Selected text, your adjustment requirements, and fine-tuning Prompt
- Connection Test: Minimal probe request (without note content) and API Key
These contents are not sent to Z Studio. How third parties handle data is subject to their own privacy policies. You can always modify or clear configurations, or stop using AI features.
When AI is not in use, editing, previewing, and long-image export are completed entirely locally—no internet connection required for these operations.
3. Usage, Storage, and Security
- Notes and preferences are used solely for local opening, editing, previewing, exporting, and management
- AI configurations and requests are used only to invoke your chosen services per your instructions
- Purchases via Mac App Store are handled by Apple
- Notes are not saved as "cloud copies"; API Keys are stored only locally—please keep your device secure
- It is recommended that you back up important directories and enable disk encryption as needed
- The MAS version runs in sandbox mode and accesses authorized directories through system bookmarks; reselection is required if bookmarks expire
4. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or share your notes or AI configurations with third parties. Exceptions apply only when required by law, or when you voluntarily provide them to third parties (e.g., model service providers you directly call, files you export or share).
The above principles apply to both official website distribution and Mac App Store distribution. App Store transactions and billing are handled by Apple according to its rules.
5. Your Rights
- You may read, write, or edit local notes at any time using this app or other tools; you may delete notes or uninstall the app (whether note files remain after uninstallation is your decision)
- You may change your note library, modify, or clear AI configurations at any time
- Long-image exports are saved to your specified local path
6. Other
This product is designed for general productivity and learning scenarios and is not targeted at children. We do not intentionally collect children's personal information.
If there are substantial updates to this policy, they will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use indicates your awareness of and acceptance of the updated policy; if you disagree, please discontinue use or uninstall the app.
