PureNotes
Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2025
1) Overview
PureNotes is designed to store your notes on your device. Optional cloud sync can be enabled in the app. This policy explains what data is stored locally, what data may be processed when sync is enabled, and how you can control and delete your data.
2) Data stored on your device
PureNotes stores the following in app-private storage on your device:
- Notes, folders, checklists, and reminders (local database).
- App settings .
- Security configuration.
3) Optional cloud sync (only if you enable it)
If you enable cloud sync, PureNotes uses Google > Firebase Authentication for sign-in (Email/Password or Google Sign-In) and performs encrypted sync operations via Cloud.
When sync is enabled, the following may be processed or stored in the cloud:
- Account information (such as your user ID and email address).
- Encrypted note content (note title/content are encrypted on-device before upload).
- A encrypted cloud backup of your sync encryption key, wrapped using your recovery code (to allow recovery on another device).
4) Encryption
When sync is enabled, PureNotes encrypts note content on your device before upload. Encryption is designed so that synced note content cannot be read without the corresponding sync key and that key is only known by you and can't be restored if forgotten.
5) Backups, export, and device transfer
PureNotes provides manual export and backup/restore features. In addition, the app is configured to allow Android system cloud backup and device-to-device transfer of app data (depending on your device settings). You can control this in Android system settings.
6) Permissions
PureNotes may request the following permissions depending on features you use:
POST_NOTIFICATIONS: to show your reminder notifications.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: to re-schedule reminders after a device restart.- Storage permissions on older Android versions: for import/export and backup file access.
7) Third-party services
When sync is enabled, PureNotes integrates with Firebase to create your account and sync your data across devices.
This project configuration does not include advertising SDKs, Firebase Analytics, or Firebase Crashlytics.
8) Data deletion
You can delete your cloud sync account from within the app. This triggers deletion of cloud sync data and attempts to delete your Firebase Authentication user.
Deleting your cloud account means deleting all your data from cloud .
9) Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect product or legal changes. The “Last updated” date will be revised when changes are made.
