Notestopin ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use the Notestopin browser extension. In short: Your notes live on your device. We do not maintain a server-side copy of your notes. See Section 3 for a temporary, anonymous product-research exception.
Local Storage: All notes, tags, and metadata you create using Notestopin are stored locally in your browser using the Chrome Storage API (chrome.storage.local). Aside from the temporary analysis described in Section 3, this data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.
Feedback: If you choose to use the feedback form within the extension, the name, email, and message you provide are sent securely to our support team via Web3Forms. This is the only directly-identifying personal data we ever receive, and it is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
Anonymous usage analytics: Notestopin sends a small set of anonymous usage events (for example: install, update, note created, note count) to our self-hosted analytics service at back.notestopin.com. Each event carries a random user identifier (UUID) generated on your device that is not linked to your name, email, or Pinterest account.
To better understand how users take notes and to improve the product, the extension performs a one-time anonymous content analysis. After your extension updates to a version that includes this analysis, Notestopin will transmit a single event containing a copy of the notes currently stored in your browser (text, tags, URLs, titles, and timestamps) and the research pages you have created (title, body, and timestamps) together with your random anonymous identifier (UUID) to our analytics service. This event is sent at most once per browser profile. To respect technical limits, the combined payload is capped at approximately 900 KB; if your library is larger than that, the most recently updated entries are included up to the cap and the remaining older entries are not transmitted.
What we do with it: The data is reviewed by our team for product research only — to learn what kinds of notes people take so we can build better features. It is never sold, shared with third parties, used for advertising, or linked to any directly-identifying information. Once the research is complete we delete the data from our systems, and this analysis will be removed from the extension in a subsequent update.
What we do not collect: We do not collect your name, email address, Pinterest login, Pinterest browsing history, or any data outside of the notes you have created with Notestopin.
Opting out: If you do not want your notes included in this analysis, you can uninstall Notestopin before applying the relevant update, or clear the extension's local storage before the update is applied. You can also contact us at support@notestopin.com with your anonymous identifier (visible on request) to request deletion of any data already received.
Pinterest: Notestopin interacts with Pinterest.com to display your notes on pin pages. We do not transmit your Pinterest browsing history, login credentials, or pin data to any external server.
We request the minimum permissions necessary for the extension to function:
storage: To save your notes locally.host_permissions (Pinterest): To inject the note editor into Pinterest pages.We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify users through the extension or this website.
