PrivateNote.in does not store any personal information or note content permanently. All notes created on our platform are encrypted, stored temporarily on our servers, and automatically deleted after being read or after a set expiry time.

We may collect limited non-personal information such as browser type, IP address, and device information for analytics, security, and performance optimization through trusted third-party tools like Google Analytics.

3. Note Security & Self-Destruction

Each private note created via PrivateNote.in is encrypted and stored securely. Once the recipient opens and reads the note, it is automatically deleted from our servers and cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

If a note is password protected, only the person with the correct password can access it.

4. Cookies

We use cookies only for website functionality and analytics purposes. Cookies do not store your private note content or any identifiable personal data. You can disable cookies anytime in your browser settings.
