Политика конфиденциальности

Last updated September 10, 2026

Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at Element Note, an application built by SoySauce Lab ("Element Note", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our notice, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at feedback@elementnote.app.

When you visit our mobile application, and use our services, you trust us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy notice, we describe our privacy notice. We seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important. If there are any terms in this privacy notice that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Apps and our services.

This privacy notice applies to all information collected through our mobile application, ("Apps"), and/or any related services, sales, marketing or events (we refer to them collectively in this privacy notice as the "Services"). Please read this privacy notice carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us. 


WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Information automatically collected

In Short: Some information – such as IP address and/or device characteristics – is collected automatically when you visit our Apps.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Apps. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Apps and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Apps, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

Information collected through our Apps

In Short: We may collect information regarding your mobile device, when you use our apps.

If you use our Apps, we may also collect the following information: 
 Mobile Device Access. We may request access or permission to certain features from your mobile device, including your mobile device’s camera, microphone, and other features. If you wish to change our access or permissions, you may do so in your device’s settings. 
 Mobile Device Data. We may automatically collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model and manufacturer), operating system, version information and IP address.

PURCHASES AND ADVERTISING MEASUREMENT

Purchases and subscriptions

Apple processes in-app payments. We use RevenueCat to manage purchases, subscription status, restoration, and access to paid features. RevenueCat processes purchase and subscription records associated with an app user identifier. These records support app functionality, customer support, and revenue analytics. We do not receive your payment card details. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

Meta reporting on iOS

The following applies to the App Store release of Element Note 2.13.0 and later on iOS. It is not enabled in the Mac app or in TestFlight builds.

We use the Meta (Facebook) SDK to report app activation and successful paid-purchase events. This helps us measure our advertising and configure purchase-based campaign measurement. Reports include an identifier associated with an app installation and app/device context, such as operating system and device information. As with other network requests, Meta can receive the device's IP address. These reports are not fully anonymous: the installation identifier can link events from the same installation.

We disable collection of Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) and configure Meta's event data usage setting to limit use to analytics and conversions. Element Note does not display an App Tracking Transparency permission prompt for this reporting. The SDK reads the existing system permission status; the app does not grant or override tracking permission.

Our advertising integration does not send note contents, imported documents, email addresses, app account identifiers, or transaction identifiers to Meta. Paid purchases are reported as events without a purchase amount. We do not forward RevenueCat purchase events or customer identifiers to Meta through a RevenueCat integration. Meta processes information under its applicable terms and privacy policy.

Apple's aggregate attribution

We also use Apple's SKAdNetwork to report aggregate signals about app opens and paid purchases attributed to advertising. Apple controls the timing and detail of these reports and applies privacy protections. These reports do not provide us with a list of identified people who viewed or clicked an ad. See Apple's SKAdNetwork documentation.

WHAT INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT?

In Short: We do not collect or store any of your notes.

We does not collect any personal content in Element Note or on the website. The notes you create in Element Note are stored in Apple’s iCloud Drive. Element Note does not have access to the content or to files you import into Element Note.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We process your information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of our contract with you, compliance with our legal obligations, and/or your consent.

We use personal information collected via our Apps for a variety of business purposes described below. We process your personal information for these purposes in reliance on our legitimate business interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or for compliance with our legal obligations. We indicate the specific processing grounds we rely on next to each purpose listed below.

We use the information we collect or receive:

Request Feedback. We may use your information to request feedback and to contact you about your use of our Apps. 
 For other Business Purposes. We may use your information for other Business Purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and to evaluate and improve our Apps, products, marketing and your experience. We may use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individual end users and does not include personal information. Some service and advertising measurement records are associated with an app user or installation identifier, as described above. We request consent where required; the absence of a tracking prompt does not mean that no data is collected.

WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share data based on the following legal basis:

• Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information in a specific purpose. 


• Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests. 


• Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.

• Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:
• Vendors, Consultants and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include: payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service and marketing efforts. We may allow selected third parties to use tracking technology on the Apps, which will enable them to collect data about how you interact with the Apps over time. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. Unless described in this Policy, we do not share, sell, rent or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes. 


• Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.


• Advertising Measurement Partners. We share the limited app and purchase event data described in "Purchases and Advertising Measurement" with Meta to measure our own advertising. This reporting does not involve sending the contents of your notes or imported documents.

DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS POLICY?

In Short: Yes, we will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
