The short version
- Everything you write is stored on your own computer, in the browser.
- There is no Easy Note server. Nothing is uploaded to us, because there is no “us” to upload to.
- If you sign in with Google, your notes are copied to a private folder in your own Google Drive so they reach your other computers.
- There is no advertising, no tracking and no analytics inside the extension.
- Nothing is ever sold or shared.
What Easy Note stores on your computer
Saved in your browser's local database, and readable only by the extension itself:
- Your notes — their text, images you paste, colour, size and position
- Your pages and how they are arranged
- Small preferences: which page you were on, where the canvas was scrolled, whether the sidebar is open
Uninstalling the extension removes all of it. If you had signed in, the copy in your Drive folder remains until you delete it there.
If you sign in with Google
Sync is entirely optional. Easy Note works fully without ever signing in.
When you do sign in, it asks Google for two things:
-
A private app folder in your Drive (
drive.appdata) — where your notes, pages and images are kept so they reach your other computers. This folder is hidden: it does not appear in My Drive, and no other app can read it. - Your email address — shown in the sync panel so you can see which account you are signed in as. It is displayed only; Easy Note never stores or transmits it.
What Easy Note cannot see
The permission it asks for gives access to its own hidden folder and nothing else. It cannot open, read, list or modify any other file, photo or document in your Google Drive — not even if it wanted to.
Signing out removes the stored access token and stops syncing. Your notes stay on your computer, and the copy in your Drive folder stays there until you remove it.
Who your data is shared with
Nobody. The extension talks to exactly two addresses, both Google's, and only on your behalf once you have signed in:
www.googleapis.com— to read and write your notes in your own Drive app folderoauth2.googleapis.com— to revoke the access token when you sign out
There are no other network requests, no third-party services, no advertising networks and no data brokers. Your notes are never sold, rented, or used to train anything.
Deleting things
- One note — delete it in the app. It disappears immediately.
- Deleted notes and sync. When sync is on, a deleted note leaves behind a small marker recording that it was deleted, so the deletion reaches your other computers instead of the note coming back. The marker holds the note's content until it is cleared automatically after 30 days.
- Everything in Drive — sign out, then delete the app folder from your Google account settings under “Apps with access to your account”.
- Everything on this computer — remove the extension from Chrome.
Upgrading from an older version
If you used an earlier version of Easy Note, your existing notes are copied into the new format the first time v3 runs. This happens entirely on your computer. The old data is read but never changed or deleted, so going back to the previous version loses nothing.
This website
These pages — the privacy policy and the release notes — use Google Analytics to count visits. That applies to the website only. The extension itself contains no analytics of any kind; Chrome's extension security rules block that sort of script outright, and none is bundled.
Children
Easy Note is a general-purpose notes tool and is not directed at children under 13. It collects no personal information beyond what is described above.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the revision history is public in the extension's source repository. Material changes to what is collected will be called out in the release notes.
