Privacy Policy

Welcome to PrivNote.online (the “Site”). We care about your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. Please read this policy to understand how we collect, use, and safeguard your information. By using our Site, you agree to these terms.

1. Who We Are

PrivNote.online is a platform for sending secure, self-destructing notes. Our mission is to provide a safe and private way to share information online. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

2. Information We Collect

Note Content: When you create a note, its text is temporarily stored until it’s viewed or it expires.
Optional Info: You may choose to provide an email address (for notifications) or a reference name.
Technical Data: Our servers or third-party tools may collect IP addresses, browser type, or anonymous usage data for performance and analytics.
Cookies: We might use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors use our Site and to improve the user experience. You can usually disable cookies in your browser settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

To Provide Our Service: We store and deliver your notes until they self-destruct or expire.
To Improve the Site: We analyze usage patterns to fix errors, enhance performance, and add new features.
Optional Communications: If you provide an email address, we may use it to send a note destruction alert or respond to your enquiries.

4. Data Retention

We only keep your note data until it’s viewed or expired, whichever comes first. For analytics or operational logs, we may retain anonymous records for a limited period to help us maintain and improve our service.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable measures like encryption (where appropriate) and restricted access to protect your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is fully secure, so we can’t guarantee complete safety.

6. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Right to Rectification: Correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to Object: Withdraw your consent for certain data uses.

To exercise these rights, please contact us. We will do our best to fulfil your request as quickly as possible.

If you’re a California resident, the CCPA gives you rights such as:

Right to Know: You can ask us for the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
Right to Delete: You can request we delete your personal information, with some exceptions.
Right to Opt Out of Selling: We do not sell personal information, so this may not apply.
