Terms of Use

Agreement

These terms govern Popnote, operated by One Minute Media Company, Inc. By using Popnote you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy. You must be at least 13 and legally able to enter this agreement. A parent or guardian must approve use where local law requires it.

Your recordings and responsibilities

You keep ownership of content you create. You are responsible for having the right and any required consent to record, photograph, process, or share people, places, conversations, and other content. Recording laws vary by location.

Do not use Popnote to violate law, privacy, intellectual-property rights, or another person's safety; distribute malware; interfere with the service; or attempt to bypass security or purchase verification.

Local storage and exports

Popnote is local-first. You are responsible for your device, Apple backup settings, and exported copies. Local data can be lost if a device or app is erased, damaged, or unavailable. Popnote does not promise cross-device backup or recovery in this release. Content sent to another app is governed by that destination after export.

Optional processing terms

Popnote processes a recording only when you choose Process or enable a processing option that clearly says it will run automatically. The selected recording—not your whole local Library—is sent securely through the Popnote service to OpenAI for transcription and related analysis. The app shows the applicable processing price or balance before a manual purchase or processing decision. Signing in by itself never uploads your local Library.

Optional processing uses automated systems. Transcripts, titles, summaries, locations, classifications, timestamps, and other generated details may be incomplete or incorrect. Review important results before relying on or sharing them. Popnote is not a medical, legal, financial, or emergency service.

Private Contacts and messaging

Private Contacts lets two authenticated Popnote accounts connect through a single-use invitation and exchange private messages. Add only people you know and have permission to contact. Do not send unlawful, threatening, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative, violent, deceptive, infringing, or spam content.

Popnote may use automated safety review, accept user reports, restrict delivery, remove content, block accounts, or preserve limited evidence when reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce these terms, or comply with law. Participants can block new delivery and can remove their local copies. Account deletion removes the deleting account's server conversation data as described in the Privacy Policy, but it cannot erase copies another person previously exported or retained outside Popnote.

Subscriptions and processing balances

In-app purchases are billed by Apple and are subject to Apple's payment terms. Auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless cancelled through Apple at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Restore and subscription-management controls are available in the app. A purchased processing balance does not expire, but it is not cash, transferable, or redeemable outside Popnote. Refunds are handled under Apple's rules and may reverse the associated balance.

Service changes and termination

We may maintain, change, suspend, or discontinue hosted features to protect users, comply with law, or improve Popnote. Local features may remain available even when a hosted service is unavailable. We may restrict accounts that breach these terms. You may stop using Popnote and delete your account at any time.

Disclaimers and liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Popnote is provided “as is” without warranties of uninterrupted operation, perfect transcription, or permanent data preservation. One Minute Media Company, Inc. is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing here limits rights or liability that cannot legally be limited.

Contact and governing law

These terms are governed by Pennsylvania law, without overriding mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live. Contact support@popnote.ai or write to One Minute Media Company, Inc., PO Box 80441, San Marino, CA 91118, USA.
