JottNote Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 22, 2026

1. What Data JottNote Stores

All user-created content is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API (chrome.storage.local). This includes:

• Notes and their content
• Bookmarks and tags
• Saved sessions (tab groups)
• Templates and placeholders
• Automatic backups of notes
• Your settings and preferences

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

JottNote does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• Personally identifiable information (name, email, address)
• Browsing history or activity
• Analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics
• Cookies or tracking identifiers

3. Third-Party Services

Some optional features fetch data from external services. These requests are made only at the moment you use that specific feature, and they contain only what you typed. No account identifier, note content, or tracking identifier is ever included, and JottNote does not log or retain these requests.

• ExchangeRate-API (exchangerate-api.com) — Current fiat currency rates for Math Mode. The request contains no user data.
• CoinGecko (coingecko.com) — Cryptocurrency prices for Math Mode. The request contains no user data.
• Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) — Weather forecasts, and converting a city name you type into coordinates. The request contains the city name or coordinates only.
• GeoJS (geojs.io) — Used only when you run Weather Mode without naming a city. In that case your device's IP address is sent to GeoJS so it can return your approximate city, which is used to fetch the forecast. Your IP is not stored by JottNote and is not sent anywhere else. To avoid this entirely, type a city name (for example weather then Paris).
• Free Dictionary API (dictionaryapi.dev) — Definitions and synonyms for Dictionary and Thesaurus modes. The request contains only the single word you looked up.
• ExtensionPay (extensionpay.com) — Handles the optional one-time Pro upgrade. ExtensionPay may collect payment information (such as your email and payment method) when you choose to upgrade. See ExtensionPay's Privacy Policy for details. If you never upgrade, JottNote makes no payment-related requests on your behalf.

If you never use Math, Weather, Dictionary or Thesaurus modes and never upgrade to Pro, JottNote makes no network requests at all.

4. Permissions Explained

• storage — Save your notes, settings, and bookmarks locally on your device.
• clipboardWrite / clipboardRead — Enable copy and paste functionality within the extension.
• alarms — Power the built-in timer and automatic backup scheduling.
• tabs — Open bookmarks and session URLs in new tabs; capture current tabs when saving a session.
• contextMenus — Add right-click options to save selected text or page URLs to JottNote.
• sidePanel — Allow JottNote to open as a browser side panel.
• downloads — Save exports and scheduled backups of your notes to your Downloads folder.
• bookmarks (optional) — Requested only when you choose to import Chrome bookmarks. Never accessed without your explicit permission.

5. Data Security

Your data is stored locally using Chrome's storage API, which is sandboxed to the extension and inaccessible to websites or other extensions. JottNote does not use remote servers or databases to store your content.

6. Data Deletion

You can delete any or all of your data at any time:

• Delete individual notes, bookmarks, or sessions from within JottNote.
• Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data.

7. Children's Privacy

JottNote does not knowingly collect any data from children under 13. Since JottNote does not collect personal data from any user, no special provisions are required.

8. Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the revised version will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date. Continued use of JottNote after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
