NotyWhat stays on your device
Everything you write or attach in Noty — text, photos, videos, files and voice memos — is encrypted on your iPhone before it is saved, using a key created on your device. The encrypted files are excluded from iCloud and device backups. Your password, PIN and Face ID setting never leave your phone.
What we collect
Nothing that identifies you. Noty doesn't ask for your name, email or phone number, and it contains no analytics, advertising or third-party tracking code.
Optional sync
If you turn on sync, Noty uploads your notes already encrypted to our storage, hosted on Cloudflare. Each copy is filed under a random identifier derived from your key, not under your name or device. We only ever hold scrambled data that we cannot open. Sync is off until you turn it on.
Our servers
- We don't keep request logs or IP-address logs.
- Live encrypted connections the app opens through our server are passed straight through and never stored.
- To keep out abuse, the app uses Apple's device-check service to prove each request comes from the genuine Noty app. Our server stores only a random key identifier and a usage counter for it — no personal information.
- Like any website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes network traffic to deliver it. We have turned off logging on our side.
We can't recover your notes
Because only you hold the key, we have no way to read, reset or recover your notes. If you lose your password and haven't exported your key file, your notes can't be restored — by anyone. Please export your key from Settings and keep it somewhere safe.
Deleting your data
- On your phone: delete a note, use Erase this device in Settings, or delete the app. Everything stored locally is removed.
- Synced copies: while sync is on, deleting a note also deletes its encrypted copy from our storage at the next sync. Turning sync off stops uploading but leaves existing encrypted copies in place, where they stay unreadable without your key. To remove them, delete your notes with sync still on, then tap Sync now.
Children
Noty is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
