What HISHI uses
HISHI may use your email, account information, Notes, Reminders, settings, sharing information and subscription status when you use those features.
We use this information to operate HISHI and provide the features you choose to use.
On your device and in the cloud
HISHI can keep supported data on your device so the app can continue working without a connection.
When cloud sync is available and enabled, supported data can be synchronized for continuity and recovery.
No successful sync = no recovery on another device.
Sharing
When you share a Note or Reminder, HISHI processes the information needed to deliver it to the intended recipient.
Sharing one item does not give the recipient access to the rest of your private HISHI space.
Shared folders
Members of a shared folder see the folder's name and the display name each member chose for it.
An item you share in a folder is visible only to you and the people you pick. They see the item, its time and who else it was shared with; you see each person's answer (done, declined or not for me), and they see their own answer and how many people completed it.
When you leave a folder, or it is deleted, the items shared with you in it are removed from your device.
Notifications, voice and device security
HISHI may use system notification, voice-input and device-authentication features when you choose to use them.
Biometric authentication is handled by your device. HISHI does not receive your fingerprint or face data.
Voice messages
Speaking into HISHI uses your device's speech recognition.
When you share a voice message into HISHI (a Premium feature), the audio is sent to the HISHI server and passed to a speech-to-text provider, which returns the text. HISHI does not store the audio or the text on its servers; the text is shown to you on your device to review before anything is saved.
Subscriptions
When subscriptions are active, HISHI may process the information needed to verify subscription status and manage access to paid features.
Purchases and cancellations are handled through the relevant app-store platform.
Security
Data synchronized with HISHI is encrypted in storage and protected by access controls.
Account deletion
HISHI provides an account-deletion flow. Deleting your account removes your HISHI account access and associated HISHI cloud data.
Deleting a HISHI account does not by itself cancel an active app-store subscription.
Website
The HISHI website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It does not use cookies for this. The account pages that HISHI emails link to load no analytics.
Service providers
HISHI uses infrastructure and platform providers where needed to provide hosting, email, notifications, speech-to-text for shared voice messages and subscription verification.
