SecureNotes Privacy Policy

Last updated October 9, 2026

This policy explains how SecureNotes (“the app”), made by XIONG ZHANZHI (“we”, “us”), handles your information on iPhone, iPad, Mac. The short version: your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud account. We do not require an account, and we never sell your information.

Data stored on your device

The app stores the following on your device:

  • passwords and secure notes in the password vault
  • notes
  • calendar events and reminders
  • expense and income records
  • scan and text recognition history
  • countdowns

We do not operate a server that receives this data, and we cannot see it.

Sensitive items such as the password vault are encrypted on your device. We never receive your master password, your vault or its contents, so we cannot recover them if they are lost.

iCloud sync

If iCloud is turned on for the app, your data is synced between your devices through your private iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit. This data is stored by Apple under your Apple Account and is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy. We cannot access your private iCloud data. You can turn off iCloud for the app in your device Settings at any time.

Permissions

The app asks for permission before using these features. You can change your choice at any time in Settings.

  • Camera: to scan QR codes and barcodes and to recognize text. Images are processed on your device.
  • Photos: to recognize text in images you choose. Only the images you pick are read.
  • Calendars: to show and create events in the calendar tool.
  • Reminders: to show and create reminders.
  • Face ID / Touch ID: to unlock the password vault. Biometric data is handled by Apple and never shared with us.
  • Notifications: to alert you about reminders and countdowns.

Data accessed through these permissions is processed on your device and is not sent to us.

Diagnostics

The app does not include third-party analytics. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports and usage statistics that do not identify you.

How we use and share information

We use the information described here only to provide the app, answer support requests and keep the app secure. We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers named in this policy (Apple), or when required by law.

This website and support requests

When you visit this website, our server keeps standard request logs (IP address, browser type, page requested and time) to keep the site secure and working. These logs are deleted after 14 days.

If you contact us through the support form, we receive the app, device type, app version, topic, your email address, your message, your IP address and your browser type. We use them only to answer you, to prevent spam and to improve our apps.

Support requests, including the IP address and browser type, are deleted 24 months after they are closed. You can ask us to delete yours sooner by sending a request with the topic “Privacy or data request” or by emailing xzz@vip.qq.com.

This website stores one cookie in your browser so My feedback can list requests you sent from this browser. It does not use analytics or advertising cookies.

Retention and deletion

Data stored on your device remains until you delete it in the app or delete the app. Data in iCloud can be removed in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage. Support requests are kept as described above.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. Because most data never leaves your device, you control it directly. For anything we hold, such as support requests, contact us and we will respond within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through support, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use encryption in transit and limit access to support data to people who need it. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

International transfers

Support requests are stored on servers that may be outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.

Changes to this policy

We will post any changes on this page and update the date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
