Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 1, 2026 • Effective Date: Immediate
Summary of Our Privacy Guarantee
At Real Online Notepad, your privacy is our top priority. We believe that what you write in your notepad belongs solely to you. Our website operates on a local-first architecture, meaning all your notes, drafts, and preferences are stored exclusively inside your own web browser's local storage (HTML5 LocalStorage and IndexedDB).
- We do NOT transmit your notes to any external server.
- We do NOT require user account creation or login passwords.
- We do NOT sell, lease, or share your data with any third parties.
- Your notes remain on your physical device at all times.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Unlike conventional cloud-based text editors that sync your personal writings to remote cloud databases, Real Online Notepad is designed as a client-side web application.
When you type text, paste snippets, or format documents on Real Online Notepad:
- No Content Transmission: Your note contents are never uploaded to any remote server or cloud infrastructure. Processing happens 100% locally in your web browser.
- No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, credit card, or social profiles.
- No Keystroke Logging: We do not record or monitor your keystrokes, typing speed, or document revisions.
2. Local Browser Storage & Data Retention
To ensure your documents persist across browser sessions and page reloads, Real Online Notepad uses standard browser Web Storage APIs:
- LocalStorage: Saves active note titles, editor modes, active tab IDs, custom font selections, and theme preferences.
- IndexedDB / Version Snapshots: Stores automatic note version history snapshots for instant recovery.
Because your data resides on your own browser, you maintain full physical control over it. You can erase all saved notes at any time by clearing your browser cache and site data, or by deleting individual notes within the Notepad application interface.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Real Online Notepad does not use intrusive third-party tracking cookies or cross-site profiling scripts.
We only use essential local storage items necessary to run the web application functionality (such as remembering whether you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode).
4. Progressive Web App (PWA) & Offline Functionality
Real Online Notepad includes a Service Worker (`sw.js`) that caches web assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, icons, and fonts) on your local device. This allows the application to launch and function completely offline without an internet connection. No external data is fetched or transmitted during offline usage.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in web technologies or legal compliance. Any updates will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
