Privacy Policy

1. Information We Store

1.1 Display Name (Optional)

Footnote allows users to choose a display name so other group members can identify who created or completed items.

Your display name:

• Is provided manually by you
• Is visible only within shared groups and lists
• Is not verified or linked to your real identity
• Is not combined with other personal information

We do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, or other personal identifiers.

1.2 Anonymous Authentication

Footnote uses anonymous authentication to generate a unique identifier that allows your data to sync across devices.

This identifier:

• Does not identify you personally
• Contains no personal information
• Is used only to associate app data with your device or session

1.3 User-Generated Content

Footnote stores only the content you intentionally create within the app, such as:

• Notes and lists
• Groups and shared boards
• Item completion status
• Organizational metadata related to your lists

This data is stored either:

• Locally on your device, or
• In secure cloud storage to support syncing and collaboration

Footnote does not analyze the text of your notes, lists, or shared content.

1.4 Anonymous Usage & Group Data

To improve the app and understand how features are used, Footnote may collect limited, anonymous usage data, including:

• List or board category selections (for example, grocery, trip planning, or chores)
• The number of participants in a shared group or list

This information:

• Is collected without identifying individual users
• Is not linked to message content or list text
• Is used only in aggregated form to improve app functionality and performance

2. Messaging Extensions

Footnote includes extensions that allow you to share notes and lists within supported messaging platforms.

Footnote:

• Does not read, store, or analyze message conversations
• Stores only the content you intentionally create and share through the app

Messaging platform rules and privacy policies apply in addition to this Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above solely to:

• Enable syncing across devices
• Support shared groups and collaboration
• Maintain group membership and functionality
• Improve app performance and reliability

We do not:

• Sell personal data
• Track users across apps or websites
• Share personal data with third parties

4. Data Storage & Security

Footnote uses secure cloud infrastructure with industry-standard safeguards, including:

• Encryption in transit and at rest
• Restricted access controls
• Minimal data collection practices

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of storage is completely secure, and use of the app is at your discretion.

5. Data Retention

We retain user-generated content only for as long as necessary to provide the service.

If you uninstall the app:

• Anonymous identifiers may be removed after periods of inactivity
• Associated content may be deleted during routine cleanup processes

You may request deletion of your data at any time.

6. International Users

Your data may be stored or processed in the United States or other regions where our infrastructure providers operate. By using Footnote, you consent to this processing.

7. Your Data Rights

Because Footnote does not collect identifiable personal information, requests related to data deletion may require:

• Your anonymous identifier, or
• Relevant group information

You may request:

• Deletion of data associated with your use of the app
• Removal from shared groups
• Deletion of group-related content
