Website Visitation: On our website, we use Plausible, a self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics suite that anonymizes IP addresses. These analytics are stored locally, not in the cloud, and we do not retain IP addresses.

Account Creation: To use our services, you'll need to create an account with an email address. This email is used for notifications and for marketing purposes. You may disable marketing notifications from your preferences at any time.

Human Verification Methods: To prevent spam, we may use human verification methods for account creation and sensitive operations. Any information collected during this process, like IP addresses, is stored temporarily and not used for any other purposes.

Account Activity: We encrypt your data on your device before syncing it to our server. While our server stores metadata like creation and modification dates, it cannot read the content of your notes.

User Agent: When you sign into your account, we store your user agent (device/browser name and version) to help you identify and manage devices signed into your account. You can disable user agent storage from your preferences.

IP Address Collection: We do not store IP addresses in our own databases. IP addresses may be used or retained by Cloudflare or the AWS-based firewall to prevent abuse and spam.

Communications with Standard Notes: When you contact us for support or inquiries, we store these communications to improve our service. Currently our main help inbox ( [email protected] ) is integrated with Zendesk, which allows us to handle customer support requests more efficiently. Should you prefer to communicate over encrypted emails, you may contact our Proton Mail address at [email protected]
