How we handle your data
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 9, 2026
Your notes are totally private.
Everything you write — notes, attachments, projects, and study cards — is private to your account. We never share your content with third parties, we never sell your data, and no one can read your notes but you.
Overview
At Kinetic Notebook, your privacy is central to everything we build. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to keep your notes and personal data safe.
By using Kinetic Notebook, you agree to the practices described here. If you have any questions, you can reach us at hello@kineticnotebook.com.
Information we collect
- Account information: Your email address and password (stored as a hashed value, never in plain text) when you create an account.
- Note content: The notes, attachments, projects, tags, and study materials you create. This is the core of your private workspace.
- Usage data: Basic, non-identifying analytics such as which features are used, to help us improve the product.
Your notes are private
Every note, attachment, and piece of content you create belongs to your account alone. Your notes are:
- Never shared. No other user, team, or third party can view your notes.
- Never sold. We do not sell your content or personal data — not now, not ever.
- Encrypted at rest. Content is stored securely and accessible only with your authenticated session.
- Protected by row-level access. Every record is scoped to the account that created it, so your data is isolated by design.
How we use your information
We use your information solely to provide and improve Kinetic Notebook:
- To operate your account and sync your notes across devices.
- To power features you request, such as AI-generated study cards and key takeaways from your own note content.
- To send essential account emails (e.g., welcome and password-reset messages).
- To understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the product.
AI features
When you use AI features like study-card generation or key-takeaway extraction, only the specific note content you choose is processed to produce your result. That content is used to serve your request and is not used to train external models or shared with other users.
Data storage and security
Your data is stored on secure infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. We apply access controls and row-level security so each account can reach only its own records. We regularly review our security practices, though no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
Cookies and local storage
We use essential cookies and local storage to keep you signed in and remember your preferences (such as sidebar layout and theme). We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Third-party services
We rely on trusted infrastructure providers for hosting, authentication, and email delivery. These providers process data only as needed to deliver the service and under appropriate data-protection terms. We do not share your note content with any third party.
Your rights
- Access and export: You can view and copy your notes at any time.
- Deletion: You can delete individual notes or your entire account. Deleted content is removed and cannot be recovered.
- Control: You decide what to write, what to keep, and what to delete — it's all in your hands.
Children's privacy
Kinetic Notebook is intended for students and learners. The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through the app or by email.
