Effective Date: September 9, 2026
Tool Apps Hub ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Notes: Notepad and Notebook mobile application.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be accessed, collected, used, and protected when you use our application.
By using the app, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
The app is designed to provide note-taking, notebook, reminder, security, and related productivity features.
Depending on the features you use, the app may access or process certain information as described below.
The app may request access to your device's camera when a feature requires capturing an image, scanning content, or attaching an image to a note.
Camera access is only used when required by the relevant feature.
The app may request access to your device's microphone for features such as voice input, voice notes, speech-related functionality, or audio recording.
Microphone access is only used when you choose to use a feature that requires it.
The app may use Android biometric authentication, fingerprint authentication, or device security features to help protect notes or restricted sections of the app.
Permissions may include:
USE_BIOMETRIC
USE_FINGERPRINT
Biometric credentials such as fingerprints are handled by the Android operating system. We do not receive or store your raw fingerprint or biometric information.
The app may use notification permissions to provide reminders, alerts, scheduled notes, and other app-related notifications.
You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
The app may use exact alarm functionality to provide reminders or scheduled notifications at the time selected by the user.
The USE_EXACT_ALARM permission is used for scheduling functionality and does not itself provide us with access to personal information.
The app may access the internet and basic network or Wi-Fi state information to:
Provide online functionality.
Communicate with app services.
Check network availability.
Deliver notifications.
Support advertising or analytics services where applicable.
Verify purchases or licenses.
The app does not use these permissions to obtain your Wi-Fi passwords.
Information, text, notes, lists, images, recordings, or other content that you create within the app may be stored locally on your device unless a feature specifically provides online synchronization, backup, or another cloud-based function.
We do not claim ownership of the content you create using the app.
Users should avoid storing highly sensitive information in the app unless they are comfortable with the security protections available on their device and within the application.
The application or third-party services integrated into the application may use advertising-related identifiers and Android advertising services.
Relevant permissions may include:
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID
android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID
android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION
android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS
These technologies may be used for purposes such as:
Displaying advertisements.
Measuring advertising performance.
Advertising attribution.
Preventing advertising fraud.
Understanding advertising effectiveness.
Providing relevant advertising where permitted by applicable law and platform policies.
Advertising identifiers are managed by Android and applicable advertising providers. Users may be able to reset, delete, or limit advertising identifiers through their device privacy settings.
The app may use the Google Play Install Referrer service to understand how the application was installed and to measure marketing or advertising attribution.
Permissions or services may include:
BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE
com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE
Install referral information may be processed for analytics, attribution, fraud prevention, and campaign performance measurement.
The app may provide paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases using Google Play Billing.
The application may therefore use:
com.android.vending.BILLING
com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE
Payments are processed by Google Play. We do not directly receive or store your complete payment card or banking information.
Google may process transaction information according to its own privacy policies.
The application may use services such as Firebase Cloud Messaging or similar notification infrastructure to deliver notifications.
The following permissions may support this functionality:
com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
App-specific C2D messaging permissions
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
Notification tokens or device identifiers required for notification delivery may be processed by the applicable service provider.
The application may use:
WAKE_LOCK
VIBRATE
These permissions may be used to ensure reminders or notifications function correctly and to provide vibration feedback.
These permissions do not themselves provide access to personal files or private user information.
The application includes several manufacturer- and launcher-specific permissions used to display or update application notification badges.
These may include permissions associated with:
Samsung
Huawei
HTC
Sony
Oppo
Android launchers
Other supported device manufacturers
Examples include badge count read/write, shortcut update, launcher settings, and badge update permissions.
These permissions are used only to support notification badge functionality and compatibility across different Android devices and launchers.
The application may use third-party services or software development kits for functions such as:
Advertising.
Analytics.
Crash reporting.
Notifications.
In-app purchases.
App performance monitoring.
Install attribution.
These third-party providers may process certain information according to their respective privacy policies.
Such information may include device information, app interaction information, approximate technical information, advertising identifiers, diagnostic information, or purchase-related information depending on the service being used.
Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy practices.
Unless required by a specific app feature, we do not intentionally request access to information such as:
Contacts.
SMS messages.
Call history.
Precise device location.
Biometric authentication is performed through the device operating system, and we do not receive users' raw fingerprint or biometric templates.
Information processed through the app may be used to:
Provide and maintain application functionality.
Save and manage notes.
Enable voice, image, reminder, and security features.
Deliver notifications and reminders.
Process in-app purchases.
Improve app reliability and performance.
Diagnose technical problems.
Prevent abuse and fraud.
Measure advertising and marketing performance.
Comply with legal obligations and platform requirements.
We do not sell users' personal information.
Information may be shared or processed by third-party service providers only when necessary to provide services such as advertising, analytics, cloud messaging, billing, attribution, or technical functionality.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or a valid governmental request.
We take reasonable measures designed to protect information processed through the application.
However, no electronic storage, mobile application, or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are also responsible for maintaining the security of their devices, device passwords, biometric authentication, and other security credentials.
Locally stored notes and other user-created content generally remain on the user's device until the user deletes the content, clears application data, or uninstalls the application.
Information processed by third-party services may be retained according to the retention periods established by those providers.
Where applicable, users may request information regarding their personal data or request deletion by contacting us using the email address below.
The application is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable privacy laws.
If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected contrary to applicable requirements, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information through the application may contact us.
The app may request Android permissions necessary to support its functionality, including permissions relating to:
Internet connectivity.
Network and Wi-Fi status.
Camera.
Microphone.
Notifications.
Biometric and fingerprint authentication.
Exact alarms.
Vibration.

Permissions are requested and used only where required for application features, supporting services, or integrated SDK functionality.
Users can manage many permissions through:
Android Settings → Apps → Notes: Notepad and Notebook → Permissions
Disabling a permission may prevent the corresponding feature from functioning correctly.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to the application, its features, legal requirements, or third-party services.
Any changes will be reflected by updating the effective date of this Privacy Policy.
