Jotline (“the app”) is a timestamped note-taking app. This policy explains what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have. It is written to be honest and specific rather than exhaustive boilerplate.
The app is developed by Hakjae Jung (“we”, “us”). If you have any questions, contact us at jotline.app@gmail.com.
1. Your notes. The text you type, along with the date of each note and the time it was last edited, is saved to the cloud so it is available on your other devices. Your notes are stored privately under your account and are not readable by other users.
2. Account information.
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, device advertising ID, or any analytics or usage-tracking data.
Your data is used only to provide the app’s core function: saving, backing up, and syncing your notes, and identifying your account so the right notes load on each device. We do not use it for advertising, profiling, or any secondary purpose.
If you enter your email address in the “Be first to know what’s next” box on our website (jotline.web.app), we store that address to send you occasional product updates. It is kept in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore), is used only for that purpose, and is never sold, shared, or linked to the notes in the app. You can unsubscribe at any time — via the link in any email we send, or by emailing jotline.app@gmail.com to be removed. This is entirely optional and separate from using the app.
The Export feature creates a backup file on your own device and hands it to your device’s share sheet (e.g. to save to Files or send to yourself). That file is not uploaded to us or any server by the app.
Your notes are retained as long as your account exists so they remain available across your devices.
Data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS, and data at rest is protected by Google Cloud’s infrastructure security. Access to your notes is restricted to your own authenticated account by Firestore security rules.
Jotline is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country) and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
We may update this policy as the app changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
