Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 12, 2026 • Orbit Tech Lab

100% On-Device Local Privacy NoteNest is built from the ground up as an offline-first productivity tool. Your notes, checklists, categories, PIN codes, and preferences are stored strictly inside your device's isolated local sandbox. We do not operate cloud storage servers, create user accounts, or harvest your personal records.

1. Introduction

Welcome to NoteNest ("we," "our," or "the App"), engineered and maintained by Orbit Tech Lab. We respect your fundamental right to digital privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our transparent approach to data: how information is handled, how biometric authentication operates locally, and how you have absolute, immediate control over all records stored inside the application.

2. Information We Handle

NoteNest operates entirely without account registration or remote user profiles:

Notes & Checklist Content: Titles, notes text, interactive checklist items, labels, category assignments, color schemes, and timestamps you create are stored in the device's local application storage (AsyncStorage). This data is never uploaded, transferred, or synced to any external server.
Security Credentials: If you choose to lock specific notes, your chosen 4-digit PIN is stored locally on your device to verify unlocking attempts.
App Preferences: Your UI display mode (Grid vs. List) and visual theme (Light vs. Dark mode) are preserved locally for your convenience.

3. Device Permissions & Biometric Authentication

NoteNest requests minimal permissions strictly necessary for user-initiated core features:

Biometric Authentication (USE_BIOMETRIC / USE_FINGERPRINT): When you enable biometrics in NoteNest Settings, the app uses standard Android BiometricPrompt APIs to unlock protected notes. All biometric evaluation and credential matching happen entirely within your device's secure hardware enclave (TEE). NoteNest does not collect, receive, or store raw fingerprints, facial recognition scans, or biometric data.
Share Capability: When you share a note or export an image card, NoteNest invokes the Android native share sheet via standard system intents. No external network transmission is initiated by NoteNest.
No Sensitive Permissions: NoteNest does not request or access camera, microphone, GPS/location, phone contacts, call logs, SMS, or external storage access.

4. Third-Party Services, Ads & Tracking

NoteNest contains:

No Advertisements: NoteNest contains no third-party ad networks, banners, interstitials, or tracking scripts.
No Behavioral Tracking: We do not include third-party tracking SDKs, marketing trackers, or surveillance pixels.
No Telemetry Harvesting: We do not track your typing, app usage sessions, or personal content.

5. Children's Privacy

NoteNest is designed for general audiences and productivity enthusiasts (target age 13+). Because we do not transmit, collect, or store any personal information remotely, we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from children under 13.

6. Data Retention & User Data Deletion

Because NoteNest stores your data exclusively on your local device, you hold complete and unilateral control over data deletion at all times:

In-App Immediate Deletion: Open NoteNest > tap Settings (bottom tab) > scroll to DATA MANAGEMENT > tap "Delete / Reset All Data". Confirming the dialog permanently wipes all notes, checklists, custom labels, PIN locks, and preferences instantly from device storage.
Trash & Single Note Purge: Deleting a note moves it to Trash, where you can either tap "Restore" or permanently purge items with "Empty Trash".
Device-Level Erasure: You can wipe all data at any moment through Android System Settings > Apps > NoteNest > Storage & cache > "Clear Storage" / "Clear Data", or by uninstalling the app.
Web Data Inquiries: Because NoteNest operates with no central servers or user accounts, we hold zero user records on any external server. For questions or confirmation regarding our privacy architecture, you can contact our developer support team at support@orbittechlab.com.

7. Google Play Data Safety Alignment

In strict compliance with Google Play Data Safety requirements:

Data Collected: None. No user data is transmitted off the device.
Data Shared: None. No user data is shared with third parties.
Security Practices: All notes are stored within the Android sandboxed application directory. Complete data deletion is supported natively in-app and at the operating system level.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product enhancements, statutory obligations, or Google Play policy updates. Any updates will be published immediately on this standalone website with a revised effective date.
