Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 6, 2026
Overview
Chrome Notepad is built by users, for users. We prioritize your privacy above everything else. This policy explains how we handle your data when you use the Chrome extension, the web app, or our services.
1. Data Collection & Usage
We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:
- Account Information: We use Google OAuth to identify you. We store your email and full name.
- Note Content: Your notes are encrypted before being stored on our servers if you enable Cloud Sync. We cannot read your notes.
- Transaction Data: For paid plans, payments are processed by secure partners. We store only transaction status, never your card details.
Note on Cloud Sync: While cross-device sync is a core feature, we are currently rolling out the remote database infrastructure. Detailed progress is available in our Product Roadmap.
2. Google Web Store Disclosures
Chrome Notepad complies with the Google Web Store User Data Policy. We disclose the following regarding the data types collected:
- Personally Identifiable Information: Collected only for account management (Email, Name).
- Financial Information: Used only for transaction validation for Premium features.
- Authentication Information: Secure tokens used for login persistence.
- Location: IP addresses logged only for security and abuse prevention.
- Privacy of Web Activity: We do not collect web history, user activity (clicks/scrolling on third-party sites), or website content.
Disclosure Certification:
• We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties.
• We do not use user data for purposes unrelated to note-taking.
• We do not use user data to determine creditworthiness.
2. End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)
When you enable Protected Mode, your notes are encrypted locally on your device using a password only you know. The server only sees encrypted blobs of data. Even in the event of a total server breach, your notes remain unreadable.
3. Third-Party Services
We work with trusted partners to provide our service:
- Google OAuth: For secure authentication.
- Razorpay: For secure payment processing.
- Google Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics (optional).
4. Your Rights
You have the right to access, export, or delete your data at any time from within the application settings. If you choose to delete your account, all your notes and data will be permanently wiped from our servers immediately.
