KosherSync Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
This policy covers KosherSync, the Google sign-in and sync used by ML Notes, ML Recorder and ML Gallery (the "apps"), made by Megalife BSD ("we"), and how the apps use data from your Google account. Contact: info@megalifephone.com.
1. When the apps use your Google account
Only if you sign in with Google inside an app and turn on a feature that saves to Google. Every app works without a Google account.
2. What Google data each app accesses, and why
| App | Google permission | What it's used for |
|---|---|---|
| ML Notes | See, create and delete its own hidden app data in your Google Drive | Keeps a hidden backup of your notes (text, checklists, photos, colours, labels, reminders) so they come back on a new phone |
| ML Notes | See, edit, create and delete only the Google Drive files it created | Saves each note as a Google Doc, and its photos, in an "ML Notes" folder, and reads back changes you make to those Docs |
| ML Notes | Create, edit, organise and delete your Google Tasks | Only in "Google Drive and Tasks" mode: keeps checklists as Google Tasks lists and reminders in an "ML Reminders" list, and reads back items you tick or change |
| ML Recorder | See, edit, create and delete only the Google Drive files it created | Uploads your recordings to an "ML Recorder" folder |
| ML Gallery | See, edit, create and delete only the Google Drive files it created | Uploads your photos and videos to an "ML Gallery" folder |
The apps also use your Google account's email address, to show which account is signed in.
The apps can't open Drive files they didn't create. They read Google Tasks only for the purposes above.
3. Where your data goes and how it's stored
- Your data travels directly between your phone and Google, over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). It isn't sent to our servers, and we can't see it. (Sync with ML, in section 7, is separate and isn't Google data.)
- On the phone, the apps keep your notes, recordings and photos as they normally would, plus the name of the Google account you chose. The apps don't store your Google password. The access Google grants is managed by Google Play services on the phone.
- In your Google account, the data is stored by Google under Google's Privacy Policy.
- We don't keep a copy of your Google data. What the apps save stays in your Google account until you delete it there, and on the phone until you delete it there or remove the app.
4. Sharing
We don't sell, rent or share your Google data with anyone. We don't use it for advertising. No person at our company reads it. It isn't used to train AI or machine-learning models.
5. Google API Services User Data Policy
The apps' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
6. App diagnostics (not Google data)
The apps send us crash reports, with the phone's device ID, so we can fix problems. If you leave "Share data to help us improve the apps" on, they also send counts of which screens and features are used and which app settings are chosen, with the same device ID. These never include the content of your notes, recordings, photos, Google Docs, Google Tasks or your Google account. You can turn the usage counts off in each app's Settings.
7. ML Notes: Sync with ML (not Google data)
ML Notes has a separate, optional feature for phones with a Plus plan: Sync with ML, which lets the phone's owner read and edit the notes on a computer. It has nothing to do with your Google account, and it is off unless you turn it on in the Notes app.
- What is sent: your notes' text, checklists, colours, labels, reminder times and dates, with the phone's device ID. Locked notes and photos are never sent; they stay only on the phone.
- How it is kept: on our servers, encrypted (AES-256) with a key of its own for each phone. Our staff tools don't show note content, and it is never written to our logs or diagnostics.
- Who can open it: only the phone's owner, signed in to their account on our website, and only on a computer the phone has allowed (the phone and the computer show the same number). The owner can remove a computer from the phone at any time.
- How long it is kept: until you delete it; 7 days after the phone's Plus plan ends; after 180 days without the phone syncing; or at once when the phone moves to a new owner. The notes on the phone are not affected by any of these.
- Deleting it: in the Notes app (Settings → Delete my notes from ML) or on the phone's page in your account on our website. Deleting it removes the copy and its key straight away.
8. Your choices, and deleting your data
- Stop syncing: turn off the Google setting in the app, or sign out in the app's Settings.
- Remove access: in your Google Account, go to Security → Your connections to third-party apps & services, choose KosherSync and remove its access. This takes effect immediately.
- Delete what was saved:
- Drive folders ("ML Notes", "ML Recorder", "ML Gallery") can be deleted in Google Drive like any other folder.
- Google Tasks lists can be deleted in Google Tasks.
- The hidden ML Notes backup can be deleted in Google Drive on a computer: Settings → Manage apps → KosherSync → Options → Delete hidden app data.
- On the phone: uninstalling or clearing an app's data removes everything it stored on the phone.
- Recordings, photos and videos you delete on the phone stay in your Google Drive until you delete them there.
9. Children
The apps aren't directed at children under 13.
10. Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. If the change affects how Google data is used, we'll show it in the apps before it applies.
