Pinote — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-25
What Pinote collects from you
Pinote does not require an account or login. Your notes are stored:
- On your device in Core Data (Apple’s local database)
- In your iCloud Private Database managed by Apple’s CloudKit
We (the developer) do not have access to the content of your notes. Apple’s iCloud terms apply to your synced data.
Anonymous data we do collect (for app quality)
| Service | Data | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Amplitude | Anonymous device identifier, app event names (e.g., note_pinned, note_completed), session duration | Understand which features are useful |
| Firebase Crashlytics (by Google) | Crash reports, performance metrics, OS/device model | Diagnose and fix bugs |
| Google AdMob | Advertising identifier (only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission), ad impressions, click data | Show ads in Library and Settings only — never on your Lock Screen |
Third parties named explicitly
- Amplitude — https://amplitude.com/privacy
- Firebase Crashlytics, by Google — https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
- Google AdMob — https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Apple CloudKit — Apple’s terms apply to your iCloud data
App Tracking Transparency (ATT)
Pinote requests App Tracking Transparency permission only when you first interact with an ad surface (Library or Settings). If you decline, AdMob will show non-personalized ads only. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → Pinote.
Your rights
- Delete all your data — Open Pinote → Settings → “Delete All My Data”. This wipes notes from your device and your iCloud Private Database.
- Disable analytics — Open iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements to opt out at the OS level.
- Disable ad tracking — see ATT section above.

|---|---|
| Notes | Until you delete them (locally or via “Delete All My Data”) |
| Anonymous analytics events | 90 days, then aggregated and anonymized |
| Crash reports | 90 days |
| Ad data | Per Google AdMob’s policy (linked above) |
