Your notes stay on your phone.
This page explains the rest.
Weavenote is a notes app with no account and no server. This policy covers the small number of things that touch permissions, local storage, or advertising.
In short: your notes, folders, attachments, and voice recordings are stored only in Weavenote's private storage on your device. We don't operate a server, and nothing about your notes is ever sent anywhere. The one exception is the ad banner on the notes list, served through Google AdMob, which is described in full below.
What Weavenote stores
Everything you create in Weavenote — note text, checklists, tags, folders, colors, and any photo, video, audio, or file you attach — is saved in a local database and private file storage belonging to the app, on your device only.
- Backup & export writes a file only to a location you pick yourself, using Android's own file picker. Weavenote never uploads it anywhere on its own.
- Version history (undo snapshots for a note) lives in the same local database and never leaves the device.
- Uninstalling Weavenote, or clearing its app storage, deletes all of this permanently — there's no copy anywhere else to restore from.
The app lock
Locking a note uses your device's own screen-lock — fingerprint, face, PIN, or pattern — through Android's built-in authentication system. Weavenote asks the operating system to confirm it's you; it never sees, receives, or stores your fingerprint, face data, or PIN itself.
Permissions, and why
Attaching a photo, video, or file uses Android's system picker, which hands Weavenote only the one item you chose — not access to your whole library. Beyond that, Weavenote requests:
Advertising & AdMob
Weavenote shows a small banner ad on the notes list, served by Google AdMob. This is the only place ads appear — never inside a note you're writing, and never on a locked note.
To serve that ad, Google's Mobile Ads SDK may collect device and advertising identifiers, approximate location, and other technical data, and may use it to personalize the ad shown to you. This data is handled by Google under its own policies, not by us — we don't receive it. You can read exactly what Google collects at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Your consent choices
If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, Weavenote shows a consent form the first time you open the app, letting you choose whether ads are personalized before any ad is requested. Your choice is remembered on this device.
What we don't collect
- No account, sign-in, or email address is ever requested.
- No note content, title, tag, or attachment is transmitted, analyzed, or shared by us.
- No analytics, crash-reporting, or tracking SDK beyond the AdMob banner described above.
- No location data is requested by Weavenote itself.
Children's privacy
Weavenote is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. Ad personalization is disabled for any user Google identifies as a child, per Google's own policies.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date at the top of this page will be updated. Since Weavenote has no account or notification channel to reach you outside the app, please check back here occasionally.
