Your case papers stay on your device.

Effective 6 November 2026

In short

Your documents, marks and notes are kept only on your device. 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.

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 and this website.

1. What stays on your device

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

documents you import (PDFs, photos, and Word files, which are turned into PDF on the device);
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 device, using the device’s own built-in technology.

2. Your account: what we keep and why

You sign in with Apple or 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 Apple or Google give them to us (with Sign in with Apple you may choose to hide your email; we then receive a private relay address);
the account number Apple or Google gives us for you (not your password);
each device you sign in on: a random number made by the app for that device, the device’s name (for example “Rohit’s iPad”) and when it was last used;
when your free months started and end, and your App Store subscription: its transaction number, product, dates and status, which our server asks Apple for;
a sign-in token for each device (we keep only a scrambled form of it);
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 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

Apple or Google confirm who you are when you sign in, under their own privacy policies.
Apple handles every purchase and gift code under Apple’s privacy policy. We never receive your card or payment details.
Cloudflare runs our accounts server and stores the account information above for us, in its data centres, which may be outside India.
Resend delivers our article emails if you sign up for them on this website (see section 9). It handles your email address only to deliver them.

If you have chosen in your device’s settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple 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 Files app, iCloud 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, and withdraws the app’s Sign in with Apple permission. We then keep only a one-way code made from your Apple or 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 device, and does not cancel an App Store subscription: cancel that in your Apple ID settings.

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

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 device the sign-in token is kept in the iPad’s Keychain. The app’s pass that says what your account may do is signed by our server, so it cannot be changed on the device.

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. This website

This website uses no cookies, analytics or trackers. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, processes technical information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse, under Cloudflare’s privacy policy. The colour you pick on this website is remembered only in your own browser.

If you sign up on this website to get new articles by email, we keep your email address and the dates you signed up, confirmed and, if you do, unsubscribed, on our accounts server (Cloudflare). We use your address only to email you when we publish a new article, and for nothing else; it is not linked to any YIP Note account. The emails are sent through Resend, an email delivery service, which handles your address only to deliver them. Every email has a link to unsubscribe in one click. If you never confirm your address, we delete it after 30 days.

10. Children

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

11. Changes to this policy

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

12. Contact and grievances
