Your case papers stay on your tablet.

Effective 6 October 2026

This policy is for the YIP Note app for Android tablets from Google Play. For the iPad app, see the iPad privacy policy.

In short

Your documents, marks and notes are kept only on your tablet. We never see them.
For your account we keep only your name, email, the devices you use and your purchases, so one subscription works on all your devices.
No advertising, no trackers, no analytics. We do not sell anything about you.
You can delete your account in the app at any time, or ask us by email.

YIP Note is made by YourIPLawyer.in (Adv. Rohit Pradhan), “we” in this policy. It explains what happens to information when you use the YIP Note app on an Android tablet.

1. What stays on your tablet

The app keeps the following only on your tablet, inside the app’s own storage:

documents you import (PDFs, photos, and Word files, which are turned into PDF on the tablet);
your highlights, pen marks, stickers, redactions, comments, bookmarks and notes;
your settings, such as appearance, app colour and the optional greeting preference.

We have no copy of any of it. Making a scanned page searchable and turning a Word file into a PDF happen on your tablet, with text-recognition and printing software inside the app and Android itself. Android’s own cloud backup and device-to-device copying are switched off for YIP Note, so they do not copy your documents either.

2. Your account: what we keep and why

You sign in with Google. This lets your free months and your subscription follow you to all your devices (up to three). Our accounts server keeps:

your name and email address as Google gives them to us;
the account number Google gives us for you (not your password);
each device you sign in on: a scrambled code made from the number Android gives YIP Note on that tablet, the tablet’s make and model, and when it was last used;
when your free months started and end, and your Google Play subscription: its purchase token, product, dates and status, which our server asks Google for;
a sign-in token for each device (we keep only a scrambled form of it);
the answer of Google Play’s integrity check for each tablet (whether this copy of YIP Note came from Google Play, unchanged, on a device that passes Google’s checks) and when it was checked;
your invitation code; if you entered a colleague’s code, which account it belongs to; and whether your own code has earned its one-time reward. The colleague is not told your name or email, only that someone joined with their code.

We use this only to run your account: to know who may use the app’s full features, to keep copies of the app that are not genuine to view-only, to show your plan and devices, and to answer your questions. We do not use it for advertising and we do not sell it.

3. Who else handles it

Google confirms who you are when you sign in, under Google’s privacy policy.
Google handles every purchase and promo code under Google’s privacy policy; we never receive your card, UPI or payment details. To check that a copy of the app is genuine, Google Play on your tablet gives Google information about the app and the device under Google’s terms; we receive only Google’s answer. Google Cloud delivers Google Play’s messages about your subscription (for example a renewal) to our server.
Cloudflare runs our accounts server and stores the account information above for us, in its data centres, which may be outside India.

If you have chosen in your tablet’s settings to share usage and diagnostics with app developers, Google may share crash reports and usage statistics with us. These do not include your documents or notes.

4. Backups

When you save a backup, you choose where the backup file goes: for example the tablet’s storage, Google Drive or a USB drive. That place is run by its own provider under its own terms and privacy policy. Anyone who has a backup file can open it in YIP Note, so keep it as safely as the papers themselves.

5. How long we keep it, and deleting it

We keep your account information while you have an account. In the app, Settings → Account → Delete account removes your account, devices, sign-in tokens and purchase records from our server. We then keep only a one-way code made from your Google account number, with the date your free months ended, so that the free months cannot be started again; it cannot be turned back into your name or email. Deleting your account does not delete documents on your tablet, and does not cancel a Google Play subscription: cancel that in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions. You can also ask us by email to delete your account: see Deleting your account.

Removing a device in Settings → Account signs that device out. Delete a Case File, or uninstall the app, to remove what it kept on the tablet.

6. Your rights

You may ask us for a copy of the account information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, including under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Write to us at the address below; we will reply within 30 days.

If you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have these rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well. You can also object to our use of your information, ask us to restrict it, ask for it in a form you can take elsewhere, and complain to the data protection authority where you live. We use your account information because it is needed to provide the account and subscription you asked for. Cloudflare may store it outside your country under its data processing terms, which include the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

7. Security

Account information travels only over encrypted connections. On your tablet the sign-in token is encrypted with a key held in Android’s key store. The app’s pass that says what your account may do is signed by our server, so it cannot be changed on the tablet.

8. Links to other websites

Tapping the YIP Note name in the app opens note.youriplawyer.in in your browser. Other websites have their own privacy policies.

9. Children

YIP Note is made for legal professionals and is not directed at children.

10. Changes to this policy

If a future version of YIP Note needs to send anything else off your tablet, for an optional feature, it will ask you first and say in plain words what would leave the tablet. We will update this page and its date.

11. Contact and grievances
