Notee - Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Notee ("Notee", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the Notee daily planner application (the "App").

Notee is designed to help you manage tasks, lists, habits, notes, checklists, and personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal information secure.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Create in the App

Notee may store information that you voluntarily enter into the App, such as:

Tasks and to-do items
Notes and text content
Checklists and lists
Habit information and habit tracking data
Categories and organizational preferences
Content stored in the locked vault
App settings and preferences

Microphone and Voice Recordings

The microphone is optional and is used only when you explicitly tap the microphone control to create a voice note. Notee requests microphone permission at that moment, not at app startup.

When you choose to record, audio is captured from the device microphone and saved as a voice recording in the app's local files area so the recording can be attached to your Notee item. Voice recordings are user content. Notee does not intentionally upload these recordings to its own servers as part of normal operation.

You may deny or later revoke microphone permission. Doing so disables voice recording but does not prevent you from using non-voice planning, note, list, habit, calendar, or vault features.

Device and Technical Information

Notee may receive limited technical information that is made available by the operating system or required for the App to function properly. We do not intentionally collect personal information such as your contacts, photos, precise location, or browsing history unless a future version of the App explicitly requests access and provides an appropriate explanation.

3. Local Storage

Notee is designed primarily around local storage on your device. Application content and preferences are stored using the device's available local application storage mechanisms, including Preferences storage where applicable.

        Your Notee content is not intentionally uploaded to our own
        servers as part of the normal operation of the App.
      

If you uninstall the App or clear its application data, locally stored information may be permanently removed by the operating system.

4. Locked Vault

Notee includes a PIN-protected locked vault for content that you choose to keep separate from your regular notes and lists.

The vault feature is intended to provide an additional layer of protection within the App. You are responsible for choosing and protecting your PIN. Do not share your PIN with other people.

A PIN is not a substitute for the security mechanisms provided by your device's operating system.

5. Permissions

Notee requests only permissions that are necessary for features implemented in the application. Permission availability and behavior may vary depending on your HarmonyOS version and device.

Microphone permission (ohos.permission.MICROPHONE) is requested only after you choose to start a voice recording. Its purpose is to capture the audio you intentionally record for a voice note. The recording is stored locally in the App's files area and associated with the Notee item you save. The permission is not required for non-voice features.

The operating system displays the permission request and lets you deny or manage the permission later in device settings.

6. How We Use Information

Information stored by Notee is used to provide the functionality you request, including:

Creating and managing tasks, notes, lists, and habits
Displaying your saved content
Remembering application settings and preferences
Providing the locked vault functionality
Maintaining the normal operation and stability of the App

We do not sell your personal information.

7. Data Sharing

Notee does not intentionally sell, rent, or share the personal content you create in the App with advertisers or other third parties for their own marketing purposes.

If a future version introduces third-party services, analytics, advertising, cloud synchronization, or other data-processing features, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate and the relevant information will be disclosed before or when such processing is introduced.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information handled by the App. Because Notee stores content locally, the security of your device, operating system, screen lock, and account credentials also plays an important role in protecting your information.

No electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Children's Privacy

Notee is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the App.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that appropriate action can be considered.

10. Your Choices

You can control the information you enter into Notee. You can also manage available application permissions through your device settings.

You may delete individual content through the App where the relevant delete functionality is available. Clearing the App's data or uninstalling the App may remove locally stored information.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Notee, applicable requirements, or data-handling practices.

The updated version will be published with a revised effective date. You are encouraged to review this page periodically.

12. Contact

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the privacy practices of Notee, please contact the Notee developer through the contact information provided on the application's official distribution page.

13. Governing Information

This Privacy Policy applies to the Notee application distributed for compatible HarmonyOS devices, including supported phones, tablets, and 2-in-1 devices.
