Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using Our Service, We may ask You to provide Us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify You. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

• Email address
• Journal content You create (entries, project and section tags, formatting, and related metadata)
• Images You paste or upload, including handwritten page scans
• Billing-related identifiers associated with a Pro subscription (processed by Stripe)

How journal and media data are stored

NoteWorthie stores Your journal entries, project tags, and account email in Our database (hosted with Supabase Postgres). Images You paste or upload are stored in Amazon S3. Authentication sessions use cookies managed through Supabase Auth.

Handwriting / OCR processing

When You use handwritten page upload, the image is sent to OpenAI for OCR and structured extraction so We can suggest date, tags, and text for Your review. Do not upload pages with sensitive data You are not comfortable sharing with that processor. You can choose (in Settings) whether the original scan remains attached after You confirm.

Usage Data

Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service. Usage Data may include information such as Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

When You access the Service by or through a mobile device, We may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device You use, Your mobile device unique ID, the IP address of Your mobile device, Your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser You use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

We may also use bot-protection services (such as Cloudflare Turnstile) during signup, which may process limited request information to help prevent automated abuse.

Use of Your Personal Data

The Company may use Personal Data for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain our Service, including to store Your journals, sync Your session, and process optional AI transcription.
• To manage Your Account: to manage Your registration as a user of the Service. The Personal Data You provide can give You access to different functionalities of the Service that are available to You as a registered user.

Export and deletion

Security of Your Personal Data

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us.
