This policy explains what data the Notes app ("the app", "we") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Notes is developed and maintained by an individual developer. If you have questions, contact therahulpahuja@gmail.com.
Note content — titles, text, tags, categories, images, drawings, and voice recordings you create — is stored locally on your device in the app's own database. We do not upload your note content to our servers, and we do not sell your data to anyone.
Note content only leaves your device in two cases, both of which you control:
Signing in uses Google Sign-In (via Firebase Authentication). We receive your Google account's name, email address, and profile photo to identify your account within the app. We do not receive your Google password.
| Data | Purpose | Service used |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, profile photo | Sign-in and identifying your account | Firebase Authentication |
| App usage events (e.g. note created, feature used, search performed) and note metadata flags (e.g. whether a note has a title, image, or reminder — never the note's actual text or images) | Understanding feature usage to improve the app | Firebase Analytics |
| Crash logs and diagnostic data | Finding and fixing bugs | Firebase Crashlytics |
| Push notification token, linked to your account ID | Delivering reminders and notifications to your device | Firebase Cloud Messaging |
| Feature flag values (no personal data) | Rolling out and toggling features remotely without an app update | Firebase Remote Config |
| Your account ID, email, and message text — only if you submit feedback or a feature request | Reviewing feedback and feature requests | Firebase Realtime Database |
| Note or meeting transcript text — only when you enable a cloud AI feature (see Section 1) | Generating AI sort suggestions or meeting summaries | Google Generative AI (Gemini API) |
Speech-to-text is performed using Android's built-in speech recognition service on your device or through your device's default assistant/TTS service — audio is not sent to our servers for this purpose.
We do not sell your personal data. Data described above is shared only with the service providers necessary to operate the app — Google/Firebase (authentication, analytics, crash reporting, push notifications, remote config, database) and, only when you opt in, Google's Generative AI API. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments.
Notes remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. To request deletion of account-linked data we hold (such as submitted feedback or your push notification token), email therahulpahuja@gmail.com from the account in question and we will remove it.
Notes is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We rely on Firebase's security infrastructure (encryption in transit, access-controlled cloud storage) to protect the data described above. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy as the app changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above.
