Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

No Notes is provided by High Editions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us through the in-app Feedback form in Settings, email studio@higheditions.com, or visit https://nonotes.higheditions.com.

2. Our approach

No Notes is local-first. Your content is stored on your phone by default. We do not require a No Notes account, and we do not provide cloud sync or a No Notes–operated internet backend that hosts your notes, to-dos, habits, checklists, photos, voice recordings, file attachments, or covers for you.

Optionally, you may use Device Sync to copy content between your phone and the Mac companion over your local Wi‑Fi network. That sync happens between your devices; it is not a No Notes cloud service.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use advertising networks or third-party analytics / tracking SDKs in the App. In-app habit “analytics” (streaks, counts, and similar summaries) are calculated on your device from your local habit logs and are not sent to us.

3. Information stored on your device

Depending on how you use the App, the following may be stored locally on your phone (and, if you use Device Sync, also on your Mac companion):

• Notes (including replies, formatting, tables, and attachments), to-dos, habits and habit logs, checklists, and related text or metadata you create
• Images, GIFs, or short videos you add to notes or choose as covers, copied into the App’s storage when you select or capture them
• Voice notes / audio recordings you create in notes
• Files you attach to notes from your device
• App preferences (theme, layout, display options, time format, app icon choice, home layout, and similar settings)
• Calendar import preferences (which calendars you chose to import from, if any)
• Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets — a local snapshot of to-dos and habits so widgets can show them (stays on your device; Lock Screen widgets may be visible when the phone is locked)
• Device Sync pairing details on your phone (for example your Mac’s local network address and a pairing token), used only to connect to your Mac companion

4. Device Sync and Mac companion

Device Sync is optional. When you pair and sync, your phone and Mac exchange a backup of your library (notes, to-dos, habits, checklists, preferences, and related media) over your local Wi‑Fi network. The Mac companion stores a local copy so you can use No Notes on that computer.

We do not receive your synced content. Pairing and sync do not create a No Notes account. Use a network you trust. You can forget pairing or stop using Device Sync in Settings at any time; each device keeps its own local copy until you delete content or uninstall the app on that device.

5. Permissions we may request

The App may ask for device permissions only to provide features you choose to use. We do not use these permissions to upload your media or calendar data to No Notes cloud servers, because we do not operate such servers for your content.

• Photos / Photo Library — when you pick images, GIFs, or short videos for note covers or note media, or when you choose to save a note photo back to your library. We access items you select (or that you ask us to save); selected media used in the App is copied into App storage for display. We do not upload your photo library to our servers.
• Camera — when you take a photo to add to a note, or when you scan a Device Sync code to pair with your Mac. Captured images and scan data are used locally for those features. We do not upload camera photos to our servers.
• Microphone — when you record a voice note inside a note. Recordings are stored locally in the App. We do not upload voice notes to our servers.
• Calendars — when you enable calendar import for to-dos. The App can read events from calendars you allow in order to create to-dos on your device. Calendar data is processed on your device for that purpose. We do not send your calendar contents to our servers.
• Files / documents — when you attach a file to a note. The App copies the file you select into App storage for that note. We do not upload attached files to our servers.

6. Information you send to us (Feedback)

If you use Settings → Feedback, only the message you type is sent to us (via FormSubmit to studio@higheditions.com). Feedback is anonymous: we do not ask for your name or email, and we will not know who sent it unless you write that in the message. Do not include passwords or other sensitive information.

7. App Store ratings and reviews

If you use Rate us, the App may open your device’s system rating prompt or the App Store / Play Store listing. Any rating or public review you leave is handled by Apple or Google under their terms, not by No Notes cloud storage.

8. What we do not collect

We do not operate a No Notes user account system. We do not intentionally collect precise location for advertising, your contacts list, or your browsing history through the App. We do not use the App to track you across other companies’ apps or websites for advertising (as “tracking” is commonly defined in App Store privacy disclosures).

Optional device permissions (photos, camera, microphone, calendars, files) are used on-device for the features described above. Declining a permission only limits the related feature.

9. Children

No Notes is a general productivity tool and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through a No Notes account system, because we do not offer accounts. If you believe a child has sent us personal information via Feedback, contact us and we will delete that message where reasonably possible.

10. Data retention and deletion

Your notes, media, and related local content remain on each device where they are stored until you delete them in the App or remove the App on that device. Uninstalling No Notes typically deletes the App’s local data from that device (subject to your operating system’s backup behavior). Forgetting Device Sync pairing on your phone stops future sync with that Mac; it does not automatically erase content already stored on the Mac companion.

Feedback messages we receive may be retained as needed to understand product requests and for ordinary business correspondence, then deleted when no longer needed.

Device backups (for example iCloud or Google backup of your phone, or backups of your Mac) are controlled by you and your platform provider, not by No Notes. If a photo is saved to your library at your request, that copy remains under your library and device settings.

11. Security

Because your content stays on devices you control, protection largely depends on your device passcode, biometrics, OS updates, and how you share or back up those devices. Device Sync uses your local network and a pairing token between your phone and Mac; use a trusted Wi‑Fi network. Feedback is sent over HTTPS when submitted through FormSubmit. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure.

12. International users

The App stores content locally on your devices wherever you use it. If you contact us, your message may be processed in the United States or other countries where our email or FormSubmit infrastructure operates.

13. Your choices

You can decline Photos, Camera, Microphone, Calendar, or related permissions in system settings; features that need those permissions will not work until you allow access. You can stop using Feedback at any time. You can forget Device Sync pairing, decline to use the Mac companion, delete local content in the App, or uninstall on each device.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy. Material changes may also be described in an App update note when appropriate.
