Important Note:

We do not track your personal information or activity outside of your use of the SkyNotes app. We only collect data when you interact with the App directly, including when you use features that require location tracking. If you are not using the App, we do not collect or track your information.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

  • Providing the App’s Services:

    To operate, maintain, and improve the App’s functionality.

  • Compliance with Legal Obligations:

    To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes, including responding to subpoenas, government requests, or legal disputes.

3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • With Service Providers:

    We may share your information with third-party service providers that help us operate the App, provide customer support, and analyze user data. These providers are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and use it only for the purpose of providing services to us.

  • For Legal Compliance:

    We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to legal processes, such as a subpoena or court order. We may also share information to protect the rights, property, or safety of SkyNotes, our users, or others.

  • Business Transfers:

    In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any change in control through the App or via email.

4. DATA SECURITY

At SkyNotes, we prioritize the security of your personal information. To ensure your data is protected, we employ several industry-standard security measures:

  • Encryption:

    We use secure encryption protocols (e.g., TLS 1.2+ for data in transit and AES 256-bit encryption for data at rest) to safeguard sensitive information while it is transmitted between your device and our servers, as well as while it is stored in our systems. This ensures that your data is unreadable to unauthorized parties.

  • Access Control:

    Only authorized personnel have access to personal data. We employ strict access controls and implement regular reviews to minimize the risk of unauthorized access. Our employees undergo privacy and security training to ensure they are aware of their responsibilities regarding user data.

  • Monitoring and Auditing:

    We regularly monitor and audit our systems for potential vulnerabilities and threats. In the event of a breach, we will notify affected users as required by law and take appropriate actions to mitigate any potential risks.

  • Data Retention and User Control:

    We only retain your data as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. You have control over your personal data, including the ability to access, update, or delete it at any time through the app.

  • Third-Party Sharing and Legal Compliance:

    We may share your information with trusted third parties only for specific purposes related to the functioning of the app, such as cloud storage providers or service partners. We will not share your data for marketing purposes without your consent. We may also disclose information when required by law or in response to legal processes such as court orders or government requests.

While we use commercially reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to maintain the highest level of protection possible.
