Privacy Policy

 

Introduction

Welcome to the privacy policy for the online notepad application (“Service”) provided on https://onlinenotepad.vip. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how data is handled when you interact with our website and Service.

This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and the choices you have regarding your data, including information related to third-party advertising.

The Core Principle: Your Note Content is Private

Our notepad is designed with a “privacy-first” approach for the content you create. The most important thing you need to know about your notes is:

We do not see, save, or store the content of your notes.

All text and data you enter into the notepad are stored exclusively in your web browser’s localStorage on your own device. This content is not sent to our servers. This privacy principle for your note content is separate from the data practices related to website usage and advertising, which are detailed below.

Information We Collect

To be completely transparent, we’ve broken down the types of data involved when you use our Service.

a) Data You Provide (Your Notes)

  • What it is: The title, text, and any other content you type or insert into the notepad area.
  • Where it’s stored: This data is stored directly in your browser’s localStorage. It remains on your computer and is not transmitted to us.
  • Our Access: We have zero access to this information.

b) Data We Collect Automatically (Log Files) Like most websites, our server automatically collects standard information in log files.

  • What it is: Your IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, and referring/exit pages.
  • Why we collect it: This data is used for routine site administration, security monitoring, diagnosing technical problems, and analysing traffic trends. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

c) Information Collected by Third-Party Advertisers

  • Our website uses third-party advertising companies, such as Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit. These companies may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Advertising

a) What Are Cookies? Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

b) Google DoubleClick DART Cookie

  • Google is one of our third-party vendors and uses cookies to serve ads on our Service.
  • Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • The DART cookie collects “non-personally identifiable information” and does not track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, or physical address.
  • You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting the Google Ad Settings page.

c) Our Advertising Partners We use third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense. These advertisers may use their own cookies and web beacons on our site. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of certain practices. Our privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or websites.
