01 · SCOPE

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the NonoNotes iOS and iPadOS application, account and membership services, and the NonoNotes website that links to this policy (together, the “Services”). In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to NonoNotes.

Core note-taking does not require sign-in. Sign in with Apple is used for account, membership, the invite program, and in-app feedback. This policy describes how the Services currently handle data. Third-party websites opened through the built-in web tool, and Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Baidu Netdisk accounts that you connect, are also governed by the privacy policies of those providers.

02 · AT A GLANCE

The most important points

• Notes are stored on your device by default. We do not receive note content unless you choose a feature that transfers it or send it to us for support.
• When you use Sign in with Apple, we process account details. When you purchase or restore membership, we process transaction information needed to verify access.
• When you join the invite program or submit in-app feedback, we process the information needed to confirm eligibility, provide rewards, deliver feedback, and reply.
• We do not sell personal information, use it for targeted advertising, or track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
• Cloud backup, system services, web access, and nearby collaboration are optional, and related data is used only to perform the feature you request.

03 · DATA WE PROCESS

Data handled by the Services

System speech, text recognition, and translation

When you use speech recognition, text recognition, or translation, relevant content may be processed by Apple system services depending on your device, system settings, and selected feature. Apple’s processing is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.

Public website

The NonoNotes website does not use third-party advertising or analytics scripts. To deliver and protect the site, the hosting provider may automatically process basic connection information such as IP address, browser type, and access time. If you email us, the email provider processes the communication.

04 · DEVICE PERMISSIONS

How device permissions are used

You can review or revoke permissions at any time in iPad Settings under Privacy & Security. Revoking a permission affects only features that need it and does not remove content already inserted into a note.

05 · OPTIONAL CLOUD BACKUP

Optional third-party cloud backup

Nono Unlimited members may connect Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Baidu Netdisk. NonoNotes accesses cloud data needed for backup only after you connect a provider and enable backup. Depending on the format you choose, uploaded content may include notes, PDFs, images, or recordings contained in your notes. Each provider also processes data under its own privacy policy and your account settings.

• Backup content is transferred from your device to the selected cloud provider. The NonoNotes account service does not retain a copy.
• Google Drive and OneDrive authorization data is stored on your device. When Baidu Netdisk authorization is connected or renewed, required authorization data passes through the NonoNotes account service but is not retained there.
• Backup files are retained by the selected provider and linked to your account with that provider.
• Disconnecting a provider in NonoNotes clears the connection from your device and stops future access, but does not automatically delete uploaded files or necessarily revoke the grant in the provider account.
• To remove cloud copies, delete the NonoNotes folder or files in that drive and revoke NonoNotes access in the provider’s account settings.

06 · WEB & NEARBY COLLABORATION

Built-in web tool and classroom mode

Built-in web tool

When you visit a third-party website through the web tool, that site may process your IP address, device or browser information, cookies, login details, and content you submit under its policy. The web tool retains website data needed for browsing, which you can clear there. We do not receive your browsing history or send note content to a website unless you choose to submit it.

Classroom mode

When you choose to host or join classroom mode, nearby participants may see your device name and classroom code. After connection, collaboration content is sent to connected participants. Related transfers stop when the class ends or devices disconnect.

Join only classrooms you trust and avoid including sensitive information you do not want other participants to see. A copy already received by another participant may remain on their device, and NonoNotes cannot remotely delete that copy for you.

07 · SHARING

When information is shared or disclosed

We do not sell or rent personal information or share it for third-party advertising or cross-service tracking. Necessary disclosure occurs only in these situations:

• At your direction: for example, uploading to a drive you select, exporting or sharing content, or collaborating with nearby classroom participants.
• System and service providers: such as Sign in with Apple and the App Store, NonoNotes account services, Apple system services, cloud providers, website hosting, and email providers, to perform features you request.
• Legal and safety reasons: when required by law, necessary to protect users or the public, or needed to protect our legal rights, limited to information we actually hold.
• Business changes: if NonoNotes changes ownership through a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, we will require the recipient to continue protecting relevant information under this policy and provide notice where applicable.

When we select a provider to process data on our behalf, we require it to use protections consistent with this policy and applicable law.

08 · RETENTION & DELETION

How long data is retained

• App content and preferences: until you delete them in the app or uninstall the app. Deleted notes remain in Trash for up to 30 days and are then permanently removed automatically; you can empty Trash sooner. Export content you want to keep before uninstalling.
• Nono account: account details, sign-in identifiers, and membership status are retained while your account is open. You can permanently delete the account in Account & Membership in the app. On completion, we delete the account and associated personal information except invite-program eligibility records and limited records that law requires us to keep.
• Sign-in credentials: sign-in state remains in the device Keychain until you sign out, delete the account, or the credentials expire.
• Purchase records: NonoNotes retains transaction and subscription status needed to provide and verify membership. Apple retains App Store purchase records under its policies. Deleting a Nono account does not automatically cancel a subscription managed by Apple.
• Invite program: eligibility, referral, and reward records are retained as needed to provide rewards, handle disputes, and prevent repeat claims. Because each account can receive an invitee reward only once, deleting or re-registering an account does not reset the necessary eligibility record.
• Cloud backups: until you delete them, subject to the selected provider’s retention policy. Disconnecting authorization alone does not delete cloud files.
• Cloud authorization: authorization data on your device remains until you disconnect the service or it expires. The NonoNotes account service does not retain Google Drive or OneDrive access credentials, or Baidu Netdisk authorization codes or access credentials after processing. Uninstalling the app may not revoke access at the provider; also revoke it in the provider’s account settings to fully remove access.
• Web data: until you clear history and website data or uninstall the app.
• Classroom collaboration: transfers stop when the session ends; content copies saved by participants may remain.
• In-app feedback and support email: may be retained with your account to handle the request, reply, maintain security, and meet legal obligations. It is deleted with the account except for limited records required by law. Account-independent anti-abuse records are retained for no more than 30 days.

09 · YOUR CHOICES

Your privacy choices and rights

You can control most data directly through your device and chosen providers:

1. Core note-taking does not require sign-in. You can sign out or permanently delete your Nono account in Account & Membership in the app.
2. View or cancel Nono Unlimited in Apple subscription settings. Deleting your Nono account, signing out, or uninstalling the app does not automatically cancel the subscription.
3. Revoke camera, photo, microphone, speech recognition, or local-network permission in iPad Settings under Privacy & Security.
4. Turn off automatic backup or disconnect Google Drive, OneDrive, or Baidu Netdisk in NonoNotes Settings.
5. Delete backup files in the relevant drive and revoke NonoNotes in that provider’s connected-app settings.
6. Delete history, bookmarks, or all website data in the built-in web tool.
7. Delete content and empty Trash in the app; Trash is permanently cleared within 30 days. Uninstalling removes content and settings managed by the app.
8. Stop or leave classroom mode to end transfers between nearby devices.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, copy, restrict, or object to processing of personal information, withdraw consent, lodge a complaint, or appeal a decision. For data controlled by a third-party service, use that provider’s controls. For support communications and other information we actually hold, email us to make a request. We may need to verify it and will respond within the period required by applicable law.

10 · CHILDREN

Children and younger users

NonoNotes is a general productivity and learning tool and is not directed specifically to children under 13 or the applicable age of digital consent. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information without appropriate consent.

Users below the applicable age of digital consent should use connected features, cloud backup, and support communications only with authorization from a parent, guardian, or school. Users under 14 in mainland China should use these features with the consent and guidance of a parent or other guardian. If you believe a child has sent us personal information without appropriate consent, contact us below.

11 · INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

International processing

If you choose a cloud provider or website based outside your country or region, submit in-app feedback, or email us across borders, related data may be processed outside your country or region. The provider you choose determines processing locations and transfer arrangements, so review its policy and account settings before connecting.

12 · SECURITY

How data is protected

We use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the data and processing risks, and limit processing to what is needed for the features you choose. No electronic storage or network transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Protect your device with a passcode, secure your cloud accounts, avoid sharing sensitive content in untrusted classroom sessions, and keep the operating system and app updated.

13 · CHANGES

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when NonoNotes features, providers, or applicable law change. A new effective date will appear at the top. If a change materially affects your rights or how data is handled, we will provide notice where applicable through an in-app message, release notes, or another prominent method, and request consent again when required by law.

14 · CONTACT

Your use of the Services is also subject to the NonoNotes Terms of Use.
