Privacy Policy
Notebook (Android, package notesapp.com) · Last updated: November 13, 2026
This policy explains how Notebook ("the app," "we," "us") handles your information. Notebook is a handwriting and note-taking app run by Chris Smith, an individual developer, support@notebookapp.app.
1. The short version
- We collect nothing. Notebook has no account and no sign-in, and it doesn't send us any information about you or your notes.
- Notebook never connects to the internet. The app doesn't have Android's internet permission, so it can't send anything anywhere.
- Your notes are stored only on this device. We can't see them, and we don't have a copy.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking, no selling. The app contains no advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting software.
2. What we collect
Nothing. Notebook does not collect, store on our servers, or share any personal information. That includes your notes, handwriting, text, images, tags, contacts, location, device identifiers, and advertising IDs.
If you email us at support@notebookapp.app, we receive what you choose to send, such as your email address and message. We use it only to reply to you, and we keep it for up to 12 months after your question is resolved. Any "Send feedback" link in the app just opens your own email app. Notebook itself sends nothing.
3. Your notes, on your device
- Notebooks, pages, handwriting, text, images, and tags are saved in the app's private storage on this phone or tablet. Other apps can't read them.
- Notes are not synced between devices. Notebook works on one device only.
- If you lose, reset, or replace your device, we can't recover your notes, because we never had them. Use Export to keep copies somewhere you choose.
- If you export or share a notebook, or import a file, that file goes where you choose, and that app or service's own terms and privacy policy apply.
4. Android backup
Notebook turns off Android's automatic backup to your Google account and Android's phone-to-phone transfer for all of its data. Your notes are not copied to Google or to a new phone. On a new or reset phone, Notebook starts empty. To move your notes, export them and import the file on the other device.
5. Deleting your data
- In the app: Settings → Delete all data. This permanently erases all notebooks, pages, images, and settings from this device. It can't be undone, so export anything you want to keep first.
- Uninstalling Notebook also deletes all of its data from this device.
- We have no copy of your data to delete. If you emailed us, you can ask us to delete that email thread at support@notebookapp.app.
6. Children
Notebook is not directed to children under 13. The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
7. Your rights
Because we don't collect personal information through the app, there's nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete on our side. Your notes are fully under your control on your device. Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under local law. For any privacy question or request, including about emails you sent us, contact support@notebookapp.app and we'll respond within 30 days.
8. Security
Your notes are protected by Android's app sandbox and the device encryption built into Android. Notebook doesn't add its own extra encryption to notes, so anyone who can unlock your device and open the app can read them. Use a screen lock to protect your device.
9. Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. If we ever add a feature that sends data off your device (for example, cloud backup or sync), we'll update this policy and tell you in the app before that feature reaches you, and any such feature will be opt-in.
