Privacy Policy for SafarNote App

Last updated: May 27, 2025

Thank you for using SafarNote App. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data and protect your privacy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following data:

  • Firebase (Anonymous Users)
    If you use the app without signing in, your notes, tasks, and saved addresses are stored anonymously in Firebase, a secure cloud database. This data is not linked to your personal identity, and we do not collect any personally identifiable information.
  • Google Drive (if enabled) – If you choose to sign in, we collect only your email and username—no password is required or stored. This is used solely to associate your notes and tasks with your account for a personalized experience.
    • Please Note: As of now, the Google Drive backup feature is not active in the app. While the app may request access permissions, it does not perform any backup or access your Google Drive files. This feature is planned for a future update.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • Your data (notes, tasks) is stored either locally, anonymously in Firebase (if unsigned), or backed up to your Google Drive (if signed in and backup enabled in future updates).
  • We do not use your personal data for analytics or marketing purposes.
  • All data remains private and is not accessed by us except for anonymous analytics and crash reporting .

3. Types of Data Collected

SafarNote collects certain types of data to improve app performance and provide you with a better user experience. This data is collected anonymously and is not linked to your personal identity.

  • Analytics Data
    • We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous data about how users interact with the app. This includes information such as which features are used, session durations, and user engagement patterns.
      This data helps us understand user behavior, identify trends, and make informed decisions to enhance the app’s functionality and usability.
      No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or shared as part of this data.
  • Crash Reports
    • We utilize Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash reports and error logs when the app encounters technical issues or crashes.
      These crash reports contain technical details about the error but do not include any personal or sensitive user information.
      Crash data helps us diagnose and fix bugs and improve the overall stability of the app.
  • App Interaction Data
    • We collect anonymous data on app interactions such as button clicks, screen views, and time spent on various sections of the app.
      This information allows us to optimize the app’s design and workflow to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.
  • Personal Information
    • When you sign in, we collect your email address and username. This is used to personalize your experience and associate your notes/tasks with your account for backup and sync. This data is not used for advertising or shared with third parties.

4. Data Sharing and Security

  • All collected data, including analytics, crash, and app interaction data, is stored securely on Firebase servers.
  • We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties.
  • Data shared with Firebase or other third-party service providers is anonymous and aggregated, ensuring that your personal identity remains protected.
  • Any data backup made via Google Drive is stored exclusively on your Google account, and we do not have access to it.

5. Third-Party Services Used

The SafarNote app uses certain third-party services to provide you with a better experience and to improve app performance.

First, we use Firebase by Google, which helps us collect anonymous analytics data. This allows us to understand how users interact with the app without collecting any personal information. Firebase also provides crash reporting and performance monitoring, which helps us identify and fix technical issues to keep the app running smoothly. All data collected through Firebase is anonymous and not linked to your identity.

Additionally, if you choose to sign in with your Google account, your notes and tasks can be backed up to Google Drive. This is an optional feature that securely stores your data in your own Google Drive account, allowing you to access your information from any device. We do not have access to this data, as it is stored exclusively on your Google account.

Please note that these third-party services have their own privacy policies and terms of service. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how your data is handled by these providers.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Delete individual notes and tasks directly within the app.
  • Delete anonymous Firebase data by removing notes/tasks.
  • Manually delete Google Drive backups by visiting your Google Drive and deleting SafarNote app data under “App Data” or “Backups”.

7. Data Deletion and Account Removal

You can delete your notes and tasks at any time. They will be permanently removed from:

  • Firebase, if you use the app anonymously (without signing in), or
  • Google Drive, if you use the Google account backup feature.

Please note that the app does not create full user accounts. Sign-in requires only a username and email for associating your data, without any password.

Currently, there is no option within the app to delete an entire account or all data at once.

If you want to delete all your data—including all notes, tasks, and backups—please contact us at:
📧 inforumaji@gmail.com

We will manually process your request and delete your data as soon as possible.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with the updated date at the top. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed.
