Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Quick Notes ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our Chrome extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in our data practices.

1. Information We Collect

Quick Notes is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

1.1 Personal Information

  • Note Content: Your notes are stored locally on your device and optionally synced to your Google Drive account. We do not access or read your note content unless you explicitly use our AI features.
  • Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we only access your email address and basic profile information (name, profile picture) for authentication purposes.
  • User Preferences: Your theme settings, language preferences, and extension configuration are stored locally.

1.2 Usage Data

  • Performance Metrics: Basic usage statistics (number of notes created, features used) to improve the extension's performance and user experience.
  • Error Reports: Anonymous error logs to help us identify and fix bugs.
  • Feature Usage: Which features are most popular to help us prioritize development efforts.

1.3 Technical Information

  • Browser Information: Chrome version and extension version for compatibility purposes.
  • Device Information: Basic device type (desktop/mobile) for optimization.
  • Network Information: Connection status for sync functionality (no personal data transmitted).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely to:

  • Provide and maintain the Quick Notes service
  • Sync your notes across devices when you choose to use Google Drive integration
  • Improve the extension's functionality and user experience
  • Provide customer support when requested

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data security is our top priority:

  • Local Storage: Your notes are primarily stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure storage APIs.
  • Google Drive Integration: When you choose to sync, your notes are encrypted and stored in your personal Google Drive account.
  • Encryption: All data transmission is encrypted using industry-standard protocols.
  • No Third-Party Access: We do not share your data with any third parties except Google (for Drive sync) with your explicit consent.

4. AI Service Data Usage

When you use our AI features:

  • Your note content is sent to our AI service provider for processing
  • We do not store your content on our AI service servers
  • AI processing is done in real-time and results are returned immediately
  • You can disable AI features at any time in the settings

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your data:

  • Export Data: You can export all your notes at any time using the built-in export feature
  • Delete Data: You can delete individual notes or all your data at any time
  • Disable Sync: You can disable Google Drive sync and keep all data local
  • Opt-out of AI: You can disable AI features in the settings

6. Third-Party Services

Quick Notes integrates with the following third-party services:

  • Google Drive: For optional cloud sync (only when you choose to enable it)
  • AI Service Provider: For AI features (content is not stored)
  • Chrome Web Store: For extension distribution and updates

These services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary:

  • Local data remains on your device until you delete it
  • Google Drive data follows Google's retention policies
  • Usage statistics are anonymized and retained for up to 2 years
