Understand what stays local

Meeting capture and transcription run on your computer. You can generate notes with a downloaded local model without sending the meeting to an external AI provider. Local use does not require a DoodleNote account.

Recording audio stays on your device. Bark recognizes speech on your Mac and does not keep dictation audio. Your computer’s own access controls and backups still matter.

• External AI: choosing an external notes provider sends the content needed for the request to that provider. Review the provider notice before enabling it.
• Cloud Sync: uploads meeting content, including notes and transcripts, to your workspace. Recording audio is not uploaded.
• Sharing: anyone with an enabled share link can read the selected content until the link expires or you revoke it.
• AI agents: local access lets another app read your notes. That app may send the content to its own AI provider. Hosted access reads the cloud-synced copy.
• Calendar: connecting a calendar uses that provider’s authorization and brings calendar information into DoodleNote.

For a local workflow, use an on-device notes model and leave cloud connections off. If you enable a connected feature, review its scope and confirm the intended account or workspace.

Pausing Sync is not a request to erase data already uploaded. Review cloud data controls separately. See the privacy policy for the full details and contact us if you need help with a data request.
