Privacy Policy

Summary: Peteks stores your notes on your device only. We don't sell your data, show you ads, or track what you write. The only data that ever leaves your device is (a) anonymous crash reports via Firebase, and (b) your notes if you choose to back them up to your own Google Drive.

Peteks ("the App", "we", "us", "our") is a personal notes application developed and operated by an independent developer.

6. Data Retention

You can delete all your data at any time by uninstalling the App. For Google Drive backup data, delete the "Peteks Notes" folder from your Google Drive manually.

7. Security

We take the security of your data seriously:

⚠️ Disclaimer: No method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We recommend enabling secure notes for sensitive information and keeping your device's OS up to date.

8. Children's Privacy

Peteks is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU under GDPR).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@peteksapp.com and we will take immediate steps to delete such information.
