1. Introduction
Welcome to NoteBox (Package Name: com.notebox), developed by Pixnova Studio ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
2. Information We Collect
NoteBox is designed with your privacy in mind. We collect minimal data necessary for the app to function:
- Notes and NoteBox: All content you create—text notes, notebooks, and associated data—is stored exclusively on your device. We do not transmit, collect, or have access to your notes.
- Audio Recordings: If you use the voice recording feature, audio is captured via your device's microphone and stored locally. Audio data is never transmitted to any external server.
3. Permissions We Request
The app requests the following device permissions solely to deliver its intended features:
- Biometric Authentication: Secures access to the app via fingerprint or face recognition. Biometric data is processed entirely by your device's secure hardware and is never accessed or stored by us.
- Notifications: Sends you reminder notifications for tasks or notes you have scheduled.
- Exact Alarm / Schedule: Triggers reminders at the precise time you set them.
- Boot Completed: Reschedules your reminders after a device restart so they are not lost.
- Microphone (Record Audio): Used solely for the voice recording feature. Audio is stored locally and never shared.
4. How We Use Your Information
All data you create within NoteBox is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or process your personal data on any external servers. The core functionality of the app works entirely offline.
5. Advertising — Google AdMob
NoteBox uses Google AdMob to display advertisements within the app. AdMob may collect certain device information—such as device type, operating system version, and advertising identifier—to serve relevant ads and measure their effectiveness.
What you should know:
- AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier to personalize ads in accordance with your ad personalization settings.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization (on Android).
- AdMob may also use cookies and similar technologies for ad delivery and analytics. For more details, please review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your notes and app content remain on your device and are never shared with third parties. The only third-party data processing that occurs is through Google AdMob as described in Section 5 above.
7. Data Storage and Security
All your notes and app data are stored locally on your device. We recommend using the biometric lock feature to protect sensitive content. The overall security of your data also depends on the measures you apply to your device, such as screen lock and device encryption.
8. Children's Privacy
NoteBox is a general-purpose note-taking application and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
9. Data Deletion
Since all your data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time by removing individual notes within the app or by uninstalling the app entirely. Uninstalling the app will permanently remove all locally stored data.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the app after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
