Terms of service
1. Who we are
The TypeNot applications for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, the typenot.app website, and the related backend services at api.typenot.app (together, the "Service") are operated by Dev Intensifies SLU, a Spanish Sociedad Limitada Unipersonal with tax identification number (CIF) B70709647 and registered address at Carretera de Tiana, 193, 1º 2ª, 08390 Montgat, Barcelona, Spain ("TypeNot", "we", "us", "our"). You can reach us at support@typenot.app. For data-protection matters, use the contact in Section 12. "TypeNot" is our trading name; the software is referred to internally as "NoType".
2. Acceptance and eligibility
These terms of service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Dev Intensifies SLU. By creating an account, installing an app, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. This is a self-declared eligibility requirement: by using the Service you represent and warrant that you meet it and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. We do not currently verify age beyond this declaration. The Service is not directed at children; if we learn that an account belongs to someone under 16, we may suspend or delete it. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.
Children under 13 (United States). The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, contact us at support@typenot.app.
3. The Service
TypeNot is an AI voice-to-text (dictation) application. Depending on your platform and settings, it provides features such as:
- system-wide or in-app voice dictation that inserts text into whatever app you are using;
- speech-to-text transcription that, on supported desktop platforms, runs entirely on your device by default — your dictation audio is transcribed locally and is not sent to us or to any third party for transcription;
- optional AI-assisted cleanup of the transcript text (filler removal, punctuation, formatting) and translation, which are performed in the cloud (see Section 3.2);
- a searchable library of your dictations, tones and a custom dictionary;
- an optional on-device privacy mode and, where offered, optional assistant features.
On-device model download. To transcribe on your device, the app downloads a speech-recognition model (currently roughly 550 MB) over a secure connection the first time you dictate, and may pre-fetch it at startup. This consumes internet bandwidth and local storage, and the download is served by a third-party model host, which receives your connection metadata (such as your IP address and request timing) but no dictation audio or transcript content. The host is identified in the privacy policy. You are responsible for any data charges your connection incurs.
Availability of features per platform. Not every feature is available on every platform, and on-device transcription may be unavailable on some devices. Where a required component is unavailable, dictation may not function on that device rather than silently sending your audio elsewhere.
Cloud transcription (if enabled). If we make a cloud transcription option available and you choose to enable it, your dictation audio would be streamed to a third-party speech-to-text provider to produce your transcript and would not be stored on our servers. By default, transcription is performed on your device and this option is off.
We may change providers, models, quotas and limits for valid operational, legal or security reasons as the Service evolves. Material reductions to what a paid plan includes are notified in advance and you may cancel, as described in Section 18.
3.1 How your dictation is handled
| Data | Where it is processed | Stored on our servers? |
|---|---|---|
| Dictation audio | Transcribed on your device by default; audio stays on the device | No — never uploaded for transcription in the default configuration |
| Transcript text (for cleanup / translation) | Sent to our third-party cloud AI cleanup and translation provider(s), which we contract to process it transiently to return a result | No transcript content is stored server-side; only usage metadata (e.g. byte counts, timings) is logged |
| Your dictation library, tones and dictionary | Stored locally on your device | No — the searchable library lives on your device |
| Account, billing and consent records | On our backend (EU region where available) | Yes — as described in the privacy policy |
The privacy policy describes the personal data we process, the third-party processors that receive it, the countries to which data is transferred and the safeguards used, and applicable retention periods. If anything in these Terms and the privacy policy appear to differ on how data is handled, the privacy policy governs.
3.2 AI cleanup and translation of your transcript text
Cloud AI cleanup and translation are optional features that transmit your transcript text (not your audio) to a third-party AI provider we use for that purpose. Because you control what you dictate, this text may include sensitive or special-category information (for example, about health, beliefs or other private matters). Where the law requires your explicit consent to process such information, you provide that consent by enabling or using these cloud features, and you can withdraw it at any time by turning the feature off or keeping processing on-device. We contract with the provider(s) that receive this text to process it only to return a result and not to retain it or use it to train their models; the specific provider(s) in force and their commitments are listed in the privacy policy. We do not warrant a provider's internal behaviour beyond the contractual terms we maintain with it.
4. Accounts and security
You need an account for cloud features. You must provide accurate information, keep it current, and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@typenot.app if you suspect unauthorized use. We are not liable for losses caused by your failure to keep your credentials confidential, except to the extent the loss results from our own failure.
5. Free plan, fair use and non-discrimination
The free plan includes on-device dictation and a limited quota of cloud processing (for example, a periodic cap on cleanup and translation), enforced by usage meters in the Service. The current quotas are shown in the app and may be adjusted with reasonable notice to keep the Service reliable and sustainable for everyone. We may apply proportionate technical safeguards — such as soft warnings before a hard limit, rate limiting, or temporary throttling — to prevent abuse and protect availability.
Non-discrimination. We will not deny you the Service, charge you a different price, or provide a different level or quality of service because you exercised any of your privacy rights under Section 12 or applicable law.
6. Subscriptions, billing and cancellation
Paid plans ("Pro") are sold as auto-renewing subscriptions, currently €19.99 per month or €120 per year, taxes included where applicable. The current price and billing period are always displayed at the point of purchase and prevail over the figures quoted here.
- Processing. Payments are processed by RevenueCat together with its payment partner Stripe, or by the Apple App Store or Google Play when you purchase through those stores. We never receive or store your full card or payment-instrument details.
- Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled.
- Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from your account settings or from the store you purchased through. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep Pro features until then. Except where the law requires otherwise, amounts already paid for the current period are not refunded on cancellation.
- Trials. Where a free trial is offered, you can cancel before it ends and pay nothing; if you do not cancel, the paid subscription starts automatically when the trial ends.
- Price changes. We will notify you at least 30 days before a price change applies to you. If you do not accept the new price, you can cancel before it takes effect; continued use after that constitutes acceptance.
- Store terms. Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are also subject to that store's terms, including its refund and cancellation rules, which may differ from ours.
6.1 EU/EEA right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer in the European Union or EEA, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving a reason. Because Pro is a digital service that begins immediately, at checkout we ask you — through a dedicated confirmation step separate from these Terms — to (i) expressly request that we start performance during the withdrawal period and (ii) acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed. We confirm your purchase and this request on a durable medium (by email). If you give that request and acknowledgment and we then fully perform, you lose the right of withdrawal. If you withdraw before full performance, you owe an amount proportionate to what was supplied up to the moment of withdrawal, and we refund the remainder. You may withdraw using the model withdrawal form or any other unambiguous statement, or by emailing support@typenot.app. Nothing here limits any more favourable withdrawal or refund right granted by the mandatory law of your country of residence.
7. Your content
Your recordings, transcripts, translations, tones, dictionary entries and everything else you create with TypeNot ("User Content") belong to you. We claim no ownership of User Content.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to host, store, process, transmit and display User Content solely as necessary to operate and provide the Service to you — for example, sending transcript text to the AI cleanup or translation provider you are using, or, if you enable cloud transcription, sending audio to a speech-to-text provider. This license exists only to run the features you use and ends when you delete the content or your account, in line with the deletion and retention commitments in Section 16 and the privacy policy.
We do not use your audio or transcripts to train machine-learning models. In the default configuration your dictation audio is transcribed on your device and never reaches us or any third party. Transcript text that you send to our cloud AI providers for cleanup or translation is subject to the contractual no-retention / no-training commitments described in Section 3.2 and identified in the privacy policy.
8. AI output — no warranty of accuracy
Transcription, cleanup and translation are automated processes and can make mistakes: they may mis-hear words, mis-punctuate, or render meaning imperfectly, particularly with accents, background noise, specialist terminology or numbers. The cleanup step is designed to tidy your words, not to invent content, but accuracy is not guaranteed. The raw transcript is available to you in the app.
You are responsible for reviewing all output before relying on it. The Service does not provide professional advice and is not a substitute for a qualified professional. Do not rely on it for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical or similar decisions without independent verification, and do not use it for emergency communications.
9. Data loss — verify your captured text
The Service processes dictation audio in memory and does not keep a durable copy of your audio. There is no crash-recovery archive: if the app, your device or a connection fails during a recording, the audio and any not-yet-produced text for that recording may be permanently lost. You are responsible for verifying that the text you intended to capture actually appeared before relying on it or dismissing the recording. To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to the mandatory rights preserved in Section 14, we are not liable for content lost in this way. We recommend keeping your own copies of anything important.
10. Acceptable use and recording-consent laws
Your use of the Service is subject to our acceptable use policy, which forms part of these Terms. In particular, you are solely responsible for complying with the laws that apply to recording and transcribing speech. Many jurisdictions — including "all-party" (two-party) consent states in the United States and countries across the EU — require the consent of some or all participants before a conversation is recorded. You must obtain any consent the law requires and must not use the Service to record, transcribe or process anyone's voice unlawfully. Responsibility for lawful recording rests entirely with you.
11. Intellectual property
The Service — including its software, the Aurora design system, branding, logos, text and documentation — is owned by Dev Intensifies SLU or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the apps for their intended purpose, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer (except to the limited extent that mandatory law permits), distribute, sell, sublicense or lease any part of the Service, or remove any proprietary notices, except as the law expressly allows.
12. Your data-protection rights
We act as the data controller for the personal data we process about you. Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access your personal data, and to rectify, erase, restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (without affecting processing already carried out).
To exercise any of these rights, email support@typenot.app. We will respond within one month, extendable by up to two further months for complex or numerous requests, and will tell you if we need the extension. If you are in the EU/EEA you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority; in Spain that is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (www.aepd.es). Residents of certain US states have additional rights described in Section 13.
Sensitive information. As noted in Section 3.2, your dictation content and its transcripts may include sensitive or special-category information, and voice input and transcripts may be treated as "sensitive personal information" under some US state laws. Where applicable law gives you a right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, you can exercise it by keeping transcription and cleanup on-device or by contacting us; details are in the privacy policy.
International transfers. Some of our processors are located outside the EEA, including in the United States. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on an appropriate safeguard under applicable data-protection law (such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or a valid adequacy/certification mechanism). The recipients and the safeguard applied to each are described in the privacy policy.
Personal-data breaches. If a personal-data breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the competent supervisory authority without undue delay and, where required, within 72 hours, and we will inform affected users without undue delay where the law requires.
13. Additional rights for US state residents
If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have rights to know/access, correct, delete and obtain a copy of your personal information, to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and of targeted advertising, and to limit the use of sensitive personal information. You may use an authorized agent where the law allows, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights (Section 5). Residents of Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut also have the right to appeal a decision on a rights request; if we deny your request you may appeal by replying to our decision or emailing support@typenot.app. How to exercise each right, and the categories of personal information we collect and disclose, are described in the privacy policy.
14. Warranties and disclaimers
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that transcriptions or translations will be accurate or complete.
If you are a consumer, nothing in this Section affects the mandatory legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services under the law of your country of residence, which we do not exclude or limit; your mandatory statutory rights are unaffected. If you are a US consumer, any implied warranty that cannot be disclaimed under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or your state's law (for example, California's Song-Beverly Act) is not excluded; it is limited in duration to the shortest period that law allows, where such a limitation is permitted.
15. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable national, federal, state or provincial law. This includes, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for gross negligence, intent, or wilful misconduct, for fraud, for our obligations under data-protection law (including the GDPR), any liability under mandatory consumer-protection statutes (including, for US consumers, the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act and state unfair- and deceptive-practices laws), and any of your mandatory rights as a consumer under the law of your country, state or province of residence.
If you are a consumer: we are liable without limitation for the matters listed in the paragraph above. For all other loss caused by ordinary (simple) negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation — one whose fulfilment is necessary to perform the contract and on which you may reasonably rely — and then only for the loss that is typical and foreseeable for this kind of contract; all other liability for ordinary negligence is excluded. This does not reduce any mandatory statutory right you have.
If you are not a consumer (you use the Service for business or professional purposes): to the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) €50, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or loss or corruption of data.
16. Account deletion and retention
You can stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time from the app or by emailing support@typenot.app. When you delete your account, we will erase or irreversibly anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except for records we are required or permitted by law to retain — such as proof of consent, and billing and tax records — which we retain only for as long as the law requires and then delete. The categories of data, the applicable retention periods, and what survives deletion for legal reasons are set out in the privacy policy. Your on-device dictation library is stored locally and is removed when you delete it or uninstall the app; it is not held on our servers.
17. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms or the acceptable use policy, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users, following the enforcement process described in the acceptable use policy where applicable and giving notice where reasonable. On termination, your right to use paid features ends. Sections that by their nature should survive — including 7 (your content ownership), 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19 and 20 — survive termination.
18. Changes to the Service and these Terms
We may update these Terms and the Service as they evolve. For material changes — including any reduction in what a paid plan includes — we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or in the app before they take effect. If you do not agree, you may stop using the Service and cancel before the change applies; continued use afterwards constitutes acceptance. Only changes that do not reduce your rights or increase your obligations (such as clarifications, typographical fixes, or updated legal references) may take effect when posted. The "last updated" date and version badge at the top always reflect the current version.
19. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country and, in the United States, your state or province of residence. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of your country, state or province of residence and may bring proceedings in the courts of that place; nothing here deprives a consumer of the protection of mandatory local law or requires a US consumer to litigate in Spain. Nothing in these Terms waives or limits any US federal or state consumer-protection statute that cannot be waived. For users who are not consumers, the courts of Spain have exclusive jurisdiction.
EU/EEA consumers. You may use the European Commission's online dispute resolution (ODR) platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged to participate in proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, but we are always happy to try to resolve disputes with you directly first. The arbitration provisions below do not apply to you.
19.1 Users in the United States — informal resolution and arbitration
This Section 19.1 applies only to users located in the United States and does not apply to consumers in the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere.
Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or filing any claim, you agree to contact us at support@typenot.app and give us at least 30 days to resolve the matter informally.
Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class-action waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. If a court decides that this class-action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will be severed and may proceed in court.
Mass arbitrations. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are asserted by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be administered in sequential batches to promote efficiency, as the AAA rules and the arbitrator permit.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver agreement by emailing support@typenot.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms. This Section 19.1 is severable from the rest of these Terms.
20. Indemnity
If you are using the Service other than as a consumer for personal purposes, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from third-party claims, damages and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your unlawful use of the Service, your infringement of someone else's rights, or your breach of these Terms or the acceptable use policy — including recording or transcribing a person without a legally required consent. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own breach or negligence, and, if you are a consumer, it does not extend beyond what mandatory consumer law permits.
21. General
- Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of the Terms remain in effect.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, with notice to you and without reducing your rights.
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the privacy policy and the acceptable use policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior version, including v1.0.0.
- Language. These Terms may be provided in several languages for your convenience, and each localized version is intended to be a faithful translation of this English text. The English version prevails in case of conflict, without prejudice to mandatory rules requiring your local language and to any version actually presented to you where the law so provides.
