Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Sticky Notes is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. We believe that your notes, thoughts, and ideas are yours alone. Our app operates entirely on your device without any server communication, ensuring complete privacy and data ownership.

Information We Do NOT Collect

To be absolutely clear, Sticky Notes does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• Personal Information: No names, email addresses, or any identifying information
• Note Contents: Your notes never leave your device
• Usage Data: No tracking of how you use the app
• Device Information: No device IDs, IP addresses, or hardware information
• Location Data: No GPS or location tracking
• Analytics: No third-party analytics services
• Crash Reports: No automatic crash reporting

Data Storage

Local Storage Only

All your notes and app preferences are stored locally on your device using Apple's native storage frameworks. This means:

• Your data is protected by your device's security features
• Only you have access to your notes
• Deleting the app removes all associated data
• Your notes are included in your device backups (iCloud or local)

No Cloud Services

We deliberately chose not to implement cloud syncing to ensure your notes remain completely private. While this means notes don't sync between devices, it guarantees that your personal thoughts and information are never exposed to external servers or third parties.

Third-Party Services

Sticky Notes does not integrate with any third-party services, including:

• No analytics providers (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
• No crash reporting services (Crashlytics, Sentry, etc.)
• No advertising networks
• No social media integrations
• No cloud storage providers

App Store

When you download Sticky Notes from the App Store, Apple may collect certain information according to their privacy policy. This is entirely managed by Apple and is outside our control. We do not receive any personally identifiable information from Apple about our users.

Children's Privacy

Sticky Notes is safe for users of all ages. Since we don't collect any data whatsoever, there are no special considerations for children's privacy. Parents can feel confident that their children's notes remain private and secure on the device.

Data Security

Your notes are as secure as your device. We recommend:

• Using a strong device passcode or biometric authentication
• Keeping your operating system updated
• Regularly backing up your device

Since all data is stored locally, the security of your notes depends entirely on your device's security measures.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect any data, traditional data rights (access, correction, deletion) don't apply. However, you always have complete control:

• Access: All your data is directly accessible on your device
• Modification: You can edit or delete any note at any time
• Deletion: Uninstalling the app removes all data permanently
• Portability: Your device backups include your notes

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. The app will continue to operate with the same privacy-first principles.

We will never change our fundamental commitment: your notes stay on your device, and we don't collect any data.

Open Source Transparency

We believe in transparency. While the app itself is not open source, we're committed to being clear about our practices. This privacy policy represents our binding commitment to you.
