Plain-English summary

The policy outlines several areas of concern for users. There's a risk that accounts and associated data on a free plan may be deleted after 36 months of inactivity. When using AI features like Meeting Notes, AI providers may retain audio streams (risk_flags-2) and other inputs for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, and potentially longer if legally required. Additionally, substantial changes to the Privacy Policy can be considered accepted simply by continuing to use the App after notification (risk_flags-4). The company also explicitly states that it does not honor Do-Not-Track requests, meaning user browsing activity may still be collected despite browser settings.
