-
Notes deleted within the app are held in a recovery bin for 7 days before permanent deletion.

Audio files are deleted when you delete the associated note and the recovery period expires.
-
Operational logs and crash reports may be retained for a limited period for security, troubleshooting, and legal compliance.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information handled by Spoke. Data in transit is encrypted using industry-standard TLS. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those providers before using Spoke.
