Privacy Policy
Last updated 1 October 2026
Slicknote is a notes app made in Australia ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Slicknote on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android.
The short version
- Your notes and pages stay on your device. We can't see them.
- Only things you share go to our server, and only while they're shared.
- No ads, no tracking, no selling data. Your notes are never used for advertising or to train AI.
What stays on your device
Everything you write: daily notes, pages, photos, templates, settings and backups. Smart Format, voice notes (speech is turned into text on the device only; where a phone can't, voice notes don't run), imports (PDFs, photos of paper, text recognition), search, reminders, widgets, Spotlight and the Lock Screen all work on your device. If you turn on Lock Slicknote, Face ID or your fingerprint is checked by your device's system. We never receive it. With the lock on, note text is also kept out of Spotlight, notifications, widgets, the Watch and the Lock Screen unless you choose otherwise.
What leaves your device, and only when you use it
| Feature | What's sent | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing (optional, Slicknote Pro) | The notes and pages you share (their words and layout, not photos), your email address, the name you enter, and the email addresses of people you invite | Our sharing server, run by Supabase in Tokyo, Japan (Amazon Web Services) |
| Signing in (only needed to share) | Your email address, to send you a sign-in link or code | Supabase |
| Sync and backups (optional) | Your notes and pages | Your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive. We can't read them there |
| Your phone's own backup (Android, if it's on) | Slicknote's notes, pages and settings, like any app's | Your Google account's device backup, so a new phone gets them back. Your sign-in is never in it: it's locked to this phone |
| Link previews and importing a link (optional) | The web address | That website, to fetch its title, picture or recipe |
| Maps, places and travel times | The place you're looking up, and your location only when you tap Current Location or From here | Apple Maps (iPhone) or Google Maps (Android) |
| Slicknote Pro | Your purchase | Apple or Google. We only learn that you have Pro, never your payment details |
| Send Feedback | The email you write | Your own mail app sends it to us |
| Our website and support email | When you visit slicknote.app or email support@slicknote.app: your IP address and what your browser sends with every page; your email | Cloudflare, which hosts the site and forwards support email to us. The site has no cookies, analytics or trackers |
| Crash reports (only if you say yes when asked; change it in Settings › Privacy) | If the app crashes: what went wrong in the app's code, the app version, and your device's model and system version. Never your notes, your name or your device's name: they're removed on your device before anything is sent | Sentry, our crash-reporting service |
Sharing, in more detail
- Only the note or page you share is uploaded. Nothing else in Slicknote is.
- Photos in shared pages are never uploaded. People you share with see a placeholder and can ask for the photo. If you choose to send it, it goes from your phone straight to theirs (relayed as it's sent, not stored), or through Messages or AirDrop.
- When you stop sharing, the shared copy is deleted from the server. Everyone keeps a copy on their own device.
- People you invite see your name and email address, and what you shared with them.
- Delete Account (Settings › Profile) deletes your account and everything you shared from our server. The notes on your device stay.
What we don't do
We don't use analytics, advertising networks or trackers. We don't sell, rent or trade information. We don't use your notes to train AI.
Children
Slicknote is for everyone. It doesn't knowingly collect children's personal information: sharing needs an email address, and nothing else leaves the device.
Your choices and rights
You can see, export (Settings › Backups & Export) or delete everything on your device at any time. You can stop sharing anything, or delete your account, from inside the app. To ask about the information we hold (only what you've shared), email support@slicknote.app. We follow the Australian Privacy Principles.
Where information is kept
Shared notes and pages are kept by our hosting provider, Supabase, on servers in Tokyo, Japan, so shared items are stored outside Australia. They're encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Access is limited by row-level security: only you and the people you've shared with can read a shared item.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. If a change affects what leaves your device, the app will tell you.
