Your privacy and device permissions
Where to find it
One page in the app explains what Nourva does with what you share, and why it may ask for your microphone, camera, location and other permissions. It also opens Nourva's legal terms.
- Tap ⋯ at the top, then Settings.
- Tap Privacy & Security.
The page has two groups. Nourva holds Your data & privacy and iPhone permissions. Legal holds Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and AI Terms.
Your data & privacy
Tap Your data & privacy to read, in plain words, how Nourva handles what you share.
- What is processed: your requests and anything you attach, such as text, files and photos, and your voice or camera while you use them. When memory is on, the context Nourva keeps for you is processed too.
- Where: on Nourva's servers, and with trusted third-party AI service providers that process your information to serve you. The current providers are listed in the Privacy Policy.
- Our commitments: Nourva does not sell your information and does not use it for advertising.
- Your controls: what Nourva remembers, and how to export or delete it, is in Nourva Mind › Memory & permissions. You can withdraw your agreement at any time by deleting your account in Settings › Account.
iPhone permissions
Tap iPhone permissions to see why Nourva asks for each permission. Nourva asks for each one the first time you use the feature that needs it.
| Permission | When Nourva uses it |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Only in a conversation or dictation you start |
| Speech Recognition | Turns your voice into text, and transcribes meetings you record |
| Camera | When you take a photo or use the live lens |
| Photos | Only the photos you pick, and saving images you make |
| Notifications | For the alerts you choose in Notifications |
| Location | Only for a question that needs it. Never tracked |
| Contacts | Only the name you ask for, at that moment |
| Calendars | When you ask about your day or add an event |
| Reminders | When you ask Nourva to remind you |
| Apple Music | When you ask Nourva One to play a song |
| Screen Broadcast | Only when you choose to share your screen |
Nourva uses Contacts, Calendars and Reminders on iPhone and iPad only.
Change a permission
- Open Settings › Privacy & Security › iPhone permissions.
- Tap Open iPhone Settings.
- Turn the permission on or off for Nourva.
Which alerts Nourva sends is a separate choice, made in Settings › Notifications. See Choose what Nourva tells you.
What Nourva never asks for
Under We never ask for, the page names two things: access to your local network, and tracking you across other apps. Nourva also cannot read Mail or WhatsApp on your iPhone, because iOS does not allow it.
Legal
- Privacy Policy opens the full policy in your browser: nourva.ai/policy.
- Terms of Use opens the terms in your browser: nourva.ai/terms.
- AI Terms opens inside the app. It explains how the AI in Nourva works and what to expect from it: answers can be wrong, so check what matters, and you can stop a task Nourva does for you at any time.
How Nourva protects your account and your data is on the Security page.
