Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
RedfleetStudios built the Notepad app as a free app. This SERVICE is provided by RedfleetStudios
at no cost and is intended for use as is.
This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and
disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decides to use my Service.
If you choose to use my Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in
relation to this policy. The Personal Information that I collect is used for providing and
improving the Service. I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described
in this Privacy Policy.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning as in the Terms and Conditions,
which are accessible within the Notepad app, unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection and Use
Notepad does not require an account and does not ask you to provide any personal information to
use it. The notes and checklists you create are stored only in a local database on your device
— I never see them, and they are never uploaded to any server I operate. Note content is also
excluded from Android's cloud backup, so it stays on your device unless you choose to share a
note yourself.
Images you attach to a note are chosen with Android's system photo picker, which gives Notepad
access only to the pictures you select. A copy of each is kept in app-private storage on your
device and is never uploaded. Deadline reminders are scheduled and shown entirely on your
device; notification permission is requested only when you set a deadline. Home-screen sticky
notes show the note you choose, from data on the device.
Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and UK), Google's consent form asks for your
choice before personalised ads are shown; you can change it any time in Settings > Privacy
choices.
The app uses two third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:
Google AdMob, to show ads, and Google Analytics for Firebase, to understand in aggregate how the
app is used (app opens, screens visited, features used such as "a checklist was created", plus
device model, OS and app version, country and a Firebase app-instance ID). Analytics never
receives the title, text, images or any other content of your notes. Notepad does not use
Facebook or any other third-party SDK.

Google Analytics for Firebase — https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Log Data
Notepad's own code does not collect log data beyond the feature usage events described above
(Google Analytics for Firebase). The third-party ad service (Google AdMob) used by the app may
collect data such as your device's advertising identifier, IP
address, device information, and general usage signals when it serves ads, governed by Google's
own privacy policy linked above. I don't have access to or control over what Google collects
for this purpose beyond configuring the ad units themselves.
Cookies
This Service does not use cookies explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code (Google
AdMob) that relies on similar technologies, such as advertising identifiers, to collect
information and improve their services. You can opt out of personalized advertising through
your device's ad settings.
Service Providers
I may employ third-party companies and individuals for the following reasons:
- To facilitate our Service (Google AdMob, to show ads);
- To understand how the app is used (Google Analytics for Firebase);
- To provide the Service on our behalf;
- To perform Service-related services; or
- To assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.
I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to information
necessary to perform the tasks assigned to them (serving ads) on my behalf. They are obligated
not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
Security
I value your trust in providing me your information, thus I strive to use commercially
acceptable means of protecting it. Because all note content stays on your device rather than on
a server I control, the practical exposure is limited to your own device's security. Remember
that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee its absolute
security.
Links to Other Sites
This Service does not contain links to other sites, other than the ads served through Google
AdMob, which are not operated by me. If you tap an ad, you may be directed to a third-party
site or app. I strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of these external sites, as I
have no control over and assume no responsibility for their content, privacy policies, or
practices.
Children's Privacy
This Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from children under 13. Because Notepad collects no personal
information as part of its own functionality, this risk is limited to what Google's ad services
may do; treat this as a starting point rather than a compliance guarantee for an under-13
audience.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page
periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by updating the "effective as
of" date below and posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and within the app.
This policy is effective as of September 23, 2026.
