This question is somewhat more general than this specific application, but how can an app guarantee that files will remain local, also in future updates of the app?
To put it simply, an automatic update of the app might start uploading the notes to a server. I don't think there is any security boundary in iOS, Android, or any other platform preventing this, right?
Other than that, congratulations on what seems to be a nice app!

  You have the choice of not doing any automatic updates in iOS. I do it, partly because I want to read the release notes of every app I use, partly because if I like using an app I don’t have the designers to redesign my UI.
