Privacy Policy

At Nota, we believe note-taking software should respect your privacy. Notes represent your thoughts, ideas, calculations, and personal projects.

We adhere to two core design principles: Local-First Privacy and Data Transparency. We do not sell your personal data, we do not show advertisements, and we do not train artificial intelligence models on your private note content.

We collect information depending on how you choose to use Nota:

We utilize the collected information strictly for the following purposes:

• Authenticating your identity and managing your workspace permissions.
• Synchronizing your cloud notes and media files across your registered devices.
• Enabling realtime collaboration when working in shared workspaces.
• Processing payments and managing Pro subscription billing via secure payment gateways.
• Fulfilling AI assistant requests when explicitly triggered by you.

Nota offers AI editing capabilities (summarization, text generation, math solving). When you invoke AI tools:

Notes stored in Local Workspaces on the Nota Desktop app reside purely on your computer's local file system.

Local notes, local media attachments, and offline drafts are never transmitted to our cloud servers. You maintain total offline control over these files.

We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard your information:

• In Transit: All data exchanged between Nota clients and servers is encrypted using modern TLS (Transport Layer Security).
• At Rest: Cloud databases and database backups employ AES-256 encryption.
• Session Protection: Auth tokens are securely stored using HTTP-only cookies and OS keychain storage mechanisms where available.

We retain cloud-synced data for as long as your account remains active. You may export your notes at any time in standard Markdown, JSON, or media formats.

If you decide to delete your account, all cloud workspaces, cloud notes, and personal metadata associated with your account will be permanently erased from our primary databases.

Nota uses essential session cookies and local browser storage strictly for application functionality (keeping you signed in, storing theme preferences like Light/Dark mode, and caching local editor state). We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels.

Depending on your location, you have rights under regulations like GDPR or CCPA, including:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of the cloud personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete account details.
• Right to Erasure: Request the deletion of your cloud data.
• Right to Portability: Export your notes in standard open formats.

Nota is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
