Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Jinn Notes is desktop software published by the developer identified on the Microsoft Store listing for the application. This policy describes how the software and this website handle information.

For any privacy question, contact privacy@jnotes.app.

2. Information we collect

None. Specifically, the application does not:

• require or offer an account, sign-in, or registration;
• collect analytics, usage statistics, crash reports, or telemetry;
• transmit your notes, images, files, or board contents anywhere;
• contain advertising, trackers, or third-party SDKs;
• read files outside the project folder you explicitly choose and the files you explicitly add.

There is no server component. The application does not have an endpoint to send data to.

3. Where your data is stored

Everything stays on your device. There are two storage locations, depending on how you run Jinn Notes:

• Desktop application. Each board is a folder you pick. Jinn Notes writes a .canvas file into it (open JSON Canvas format) and copies the files you add alongside it. The application also remembers the path of the last board you opened, stored locally, so it can reopen it next time.
• Browser mode. If you run Jinn Notes in a web browser, boards and attachments are held in that browser's local IndexedDB storage on your machine. Clearing your browser's site data deletes them.

Uninstalling the application does not delete your boards — they remain in the folders you chose.

Local storage keys

For transparency, the only values the application persists outside your board folder are the path of the last-opened project and the filename of the last-opened canvas. These are stored in local browser-style storage on your device and are never transmitted.

4. When the application contacts the internet

Jinn Notes makes no network requests of its own. It never checks for updates, never pings a server, and never uploads anything. It only makes a request when you add content that requires one, and then only to the address in that content:

• Pasting a link to an image. The app downloads that image from the site hosting it, so it can be saved into your board folder. That website sees the request, which necessarily includes your IP address.
• Adding a YouTube video. The card shows the video's thumbnail, fetched from YouTube. If you click play, the video is embedded from YouTube. In both cases YouTube (Google) receives the request and may set cookies or collect data according to its own privacy policy, over which we have no control.
• Notes containing image links. An image URL written into a note is displayed as a preview, which loads that image from its host.

Nothing about you is added to these requests. They are ordinary requests for the content you asked for, made directly from your computer. If you never add remote content, Jinn Notes never touches the network.

For safety, the application only permits http, https and mailto links. Other schemes are rejected, so a board shared with you cannot execute code through a malicious link.

5. This website

jnotes.app is a static site. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and includes no third-party scripts, trackers, or embedded content. Fonts are served from this domain rather than a font CDN, so loading a page does not reveal your visit to anyone else.

Our web host records standard server logs (such as IP address and requested URL) as an ordinary part of serving the site. We do not use those logs to build profiles, and we do not combine them with anything else.

Outbound links — for example to the Microsoft Store or to jsoncanvas.org — are governed by those sites' own policies once you follow them.

6. Distribution through the Microsoft Store

If you install Jinn Notes from the Microsoft Store, Microsoft handles the download, licensing, and update process, and collects whatever information its own policies describe. That relationship is between you and Microsoft; we receive only the aggregate, anonymous acquisition statistics that Partner Center shows every publisher (such as total installs per country). Those figures identify nobody.

7. Children

Jinn Notes is a general-purpose productivity tool and collects no information from anyone, including children.

8. Your rights

Data-protection law gives you rights to access, correct, export, and delete personal data a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to produce or erase. Your data is in your own files, under your own control: to export it, copy the folder; to delete it, delete the folder.

9. Security

Because your boards never leave your device, their security is the security of your own computer. Board files are written atomically — to a temporary file that is then renamed into place — so an interrupted save cannot corrupt existing work. We recommend keeping your own backups, as you would for any documents.

10. Changes to this policy

If the application's behaviour ever changes in a way that affects this policy — for example if an optional sync feature were added — this page will be updated and the date at the top revised. Material changes will also be noted in the application's release notes.
