# Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 27, 2026

PrivyNote ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it. By using the PrivyNote application, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

### 1. Who We Are

PrivyNote is a decentralized application (dApp) available at [privynote.biz](https://privynote.biz) that provides users with end-to-end encrypted, private note-taking capabilities. PrivyNote is designed with privacy-first principles — users interact with the app anonymously. We do not distribute cryptocurrency tokens or rewards to users.

### 2. Information We Collect

PrivyNote is built to collect as little data as possible. We do **not** collect your name, email address, phone number, or any personally identifiable information. Specifically:

* **Wallet Address:** When you connect a Web3 wallet to access the dApp, your public blockchain wallet address is recorded. This is a pseudonymous public identifier inherent to blockchain infrastructure — it is not linked to your real identity by us.
* **Anonymous Usage Data:** We may collect aggregated, non-identifiable usage statistics (e.g., feature interaction counts, error logs) to improve app performance. This data cannot be traced back to any individual user.
* **Encrypted Notes:** Notes you create are encrypted on your device before being stored or transmitted. PrivyNote cannot read, access, or decrypt your notes. Your content belongs solely to you.

### 3. How We Use Your Information

* To operate and maintain the PrivyNote application and verify wallet-based access.
* To detect and prevent abuse or security threats using anonymous signals.
* To analyze and improve app performance through aggregated, anonymous usage data.
* To comply with applicable laws and regulations.

We never use your wallet address or usage data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.

### 4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data only with:

* **Service Providers:** Trusted third-party tools used to operate the app (e.g., hosting, analytics), bound by confidentiality obligations.
* **Legal Authorities:** When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of others.
* **Blockchain Networks:** Any on-chain transactions are inherently public and visible on the respective blockchain.

### 5. Blockchain and Decentralization

PrivyNote operates on a decentralized blockchain infrastructure. Actions taken on-chain (such as wallet transactions) are permanent and publicly visible. We have no ability to alter or delete data recorded on the blockchain.

### 6. Data Retention

We retain usage data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, typically no longer than 12 months. You may request deletion of any off-chain data we hold about you.

### 7. Cookies and Tracking

PrivyNote may use minimal, essential cookies or local storage to maintain your session and preferences. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

### 8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

* Access the data we hold about you.
* Request correction or deletion of your off-chain data.
* Withdraw consent for data processing where applicable.
* Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at <privacy@privynote.biz>.

### 9. Children's Privacy

PrivyNote is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

### 10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of PrivyNote constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
