Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Zotes, your simple and efficient notes application. This Privacy Policy describes how Zotes ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our website and services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Information You Provide Directly

When you use Zotes, you directly provide us with the content of your notes. This includes any text, lists, or other information you choose to write and save within the app. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information unless explicitly provided by you for a specific feature (which is not currently part of the core Zotes functionality).

2.2. Automatically Collected Information

We may collect certain information automatically when you use the Service, such as:

• Usage Data: Information about how you access and use the Service. This may include your IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.
• Cookies: We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide customer support.
• To monitor the usage of our Service.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.

Your notes content: The content of your notes is used solely to provide you with the core functionality of the Zotes app – saving and retrieving your notes. We do not analyze, share, or use the content of your notes for any other purpose.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information (including the content of your notes) to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

We may disclose your information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement or to protect the security or integrity of our Service.

5. Data Security

The security of your data is important to us. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following data protection rights:

• The right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you.
• The right to object to our processing of your information.
• The right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time where Zotes relied on your consent to process your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights regarding your notes, please use the functionality provided within the Zotes app itself (e.g., deleting notes). If you have further questions or need assistance, please contact us.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We will let you know via a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "effective date" at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
