Effective Date: September 1, 2026

MovoNote is a local-first note-taking app. We respect your privacy and aim to minimize data collection. This Privacy Policy explains how MovoNote handles your information.

1. Information We Collect

MovoNote does not sell your note content and does not use your note content for advertising or third-party behavioral tracking.

The app may process the following information locally on your device:

  • Notes, folders, favorites, and trash content that you create, edit, and save;
  • App settings, sync status, and trusted device records;
  • Local keys, device identifiers, request IDs, nonces, and cryptographic proofs used for encrypted device-to-device sync;
  • Temporary network information required for local network sync, such as device discovery information and connection ports on the same local network;
  • Contact information, issue descriptions, and logs that you voluntarily provide when contacting support.

In versions that support Google Drive cloud sync, if you choose to enable Google Drive sync and complete Google authorization, the app may also process:

  • Your Google account identifier, such as your email address or account identifier returned by Google;
  • Google authorization tokens or information required to refresh authorization;
  • Notes, folders, deletion records, sync status, version information, and necessary sync metadata that you choose to sync, back up, or restore;
  • Device identifiers, sync time, sync direction, and error status required to complete synchronization.

The domestic Android version does not currently provide Google Drive cloud sync. Google Drive cloud sync may be available in Google Play Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, or other versions that support this feature, depending on what is actually shown in the app.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Save and display your notes on your device;
  • Establish trusted relationships between devices you authorize;
  • Perform end-to-end encrypted sync between devices on the same local network;
  • Sync, back up, or restore notes to your authorized Google Drive when you choose to enable Google Drive cloud sync;
  • Diagnose crashes, connection failures, or sync issues;
  • Respond to your support requests.

We do not sell your note content to third parties. We do not use information obtained from Google Drive for advertising, third-party profiling, or purposes unrelated to user-facing features.

3. Note Content and Local Storage

Your notes are stored locally on your device by default. Unless you choose to use device-to-device sync or Google Drive cloud sync, MovoNote does not send your notes to other devices or to the cloud.

Uninstalling the app, clearing app data, or deleting notes in the app may remove locally stored data. Please make sure you have backed up any data you need before performing these actions.

4. Device-to-Device Sync

MovoNote supports syncing between trusted devices on the same local network. The sync process uses authenticated discovery, request IDs, nonces, HMAC, X25519, HKDF, AES-GCM, and related mechanisms to establish an encrypted connection.

During sync, your note data is transmitted only between the devices you choose or trust. We do not relay, read, or store this local network sync content on our own servers.

5. Google Drive Cloud Sync

In versions that support Google Drive cloud sync, you may authorize your Google account to sync, back up, or restore note data to your Google Drive. This feature is used only after you choose to enable it and complete Google authorization.

To provide this feature, the app may request the necessary Google Drive permissions to create, read, upload, download, update, or delete MovoNote sync data. We aim to request the minimum scope required for the feature. If Google Drive app data storage is used, the app accesses only the data space related to MovoNote sync.

Google Drive cloud sync data is stored in the Google Drive account that you authorize. Google Drive is provided by Google, and Google’s processing of data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. You can view Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We do not upload your note content to our own servers as part of Google Drive cloud sync. We do not sell information obtained from Google APIs, use it for advertising, use it to train models for non-user-facing purposes, or transfer it to unrelated third parties.

MovoNote’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can view the policy at: https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy

You can disconnect Google Drive in the app, and you can also revoke MovoNote’s access in your Google account’s third-party app access settings. After authorization is revoked, the app will no longer be able to access your Google Drive sync data. Google Drive may be unavailable in some countries or regions, and actual availability depends on Google services, your account status, and your network environment.

6. Camera Permission

The app requests camera permission only to scan QR codes for device pairing or sync confirmation. We do not save, upload, or analyze your camera feed.

7. Local Network Permission

The app may request local network access to discover devices on the same local network and establish device-to-device sync connections. This permission is not used to access personal data on internet servers.

8. Third-Party Services

Notification Services, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and Notification Controls

This Google Play Android distribution provides optional remote notifications. Remote notifications are disabled by default on first installation. We enable notification services only after you actively choose to enable notifications in the App and complete the operating system’s notification authorization flow.

To deliver notifications, this distribution may use Firebase Cloud Messaging provided by Google. The service may process the following information related to notification delivery:

  • Firebase Installation ID;
  • FCM Token;
  • App identifier;
  • System notification authorization status;
  • Device model, operating-system version, network status, language, time zone, and other technical information necessary for delivery, security, compatibility, and troubleshooting;
  • Notification-category preferences selected in Settings → Notifications.

This information is used only to deliver notifications to your device, maintain notification subscriptions, handle delivery failures, and protect service security and compatibility. It is not used to read, analyze, sell, or target advertising based on your note content.

After you enable notifications, Version Updates and Important Product and Service Messages are available by default. You may disable either category at any time in Settings → Notifications. Product News, Promotions and Offers are disabled by default and are subscribed to only if you actively enable that category.

The current version does not separately upload an FCM Token to an operator-operated application server. We also do not intentionally include note text, note titles, search terms, folder names, attachment content, or local database content in notifications.

You may disable notifications by:

  • Turning off a notification category in Settings → Notifications;
  • Turning off this App’s notification permission in Android system settings;
  • Clearing App data or uninstalling the App.

When you turn off a notification category, the App stops future subscriptions for that category. Processing of a service provider’s own technical records is governed by that provider’s privacy policy.

Additional Third-Party Service Disclosure

This Google Play Android distribution may use the following third-party service for remote notifications:

  • Third-party service: Firebase Cloud Messaging;
  • Provider: Google;
  • Purpose: Remote notification delivery, notification-category subscriptions, delivery status, and service security;
  • Information involved: Firebase Installation ID, FCM Token, App identifier, notification authorization status, and necessary technical information;
  • Sharing method: After you actively enable notifications and grant system authorization, the App delivers notifications to your device through Firebase Cloud Messaging;
  • Privacy information: Google Privacy Policy and Firebase Privacy and Security.

The current version does not integrate third-party advertising tracking SDKs. Operating systems, app stores, Google Drive, Google Sign-In, or other third-party services that the app relies on may process data according to their respective privacy policies.

In versions that support Google Drive cloud sync, the following third-party service may be used:

  • Third party: Google
  • Service/API: Google Sign-In, Google Drive API
  • Purpose: Google account authorization, Google Drive cloud sync, backup, and restore
  • Information involved: Google account identifier, authorization token, note sync data, device and sync status information
  • Sharing method: After user authorization, data is uploaded to or downloaded from the user-authorized Google Drive through Google APIs
  • Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

9. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Except in the following situations, we do not share your information with third parties:

  • You choose to use local network device-to-device sync and transmit data to another trusted device;
  • You choose to enable Google Drive cloud sync and upload, download, or restore data to your authorized Google Drive;
  • To comply with applicable laws, legal procedures, or regulatory requirements;
  • To protect the legitimate rights and interests of users, the app, or the public;
  • You voluntarily submit a support request and provide relevant information.

10. Data Security

We use local storage, system secure storage, authorized access, and encrypted transmission to protect your data. However, no software or network transmission can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. Please protect your device, system account, Google account, and device unlock password.

Google Drive cloud sync depends on the security of your Google account. Please manage your Google account password, two-step verification, and third-party app access carefully.

11. Children’s Privacy

MovoNote is not specifically directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact information in this policy.

13. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. After an update, we will provide the new version in the app, on our website, or on the app store page. Policy updates will not change our commitments not to sell note content or use third-party advertising tracking unless we separately explain the change and obtain any required consent.
