Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

At myJotup, privacy is not a feature — it is the foundation. We believe you should be able to share notes without surrendering your personal information. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

2. No Accounts, No Tracking

We do not require user accounts, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information to use myJotup. You can create and share notes completely anonymously.

3. Information We Collect

• Note Content: The text you enter into the editor is stored so it can be shared and viewed. We do not read, analyze, or sell your note content.
• Note Type: We store whether your note is Plain Text, Markdown, or Rich Text so we can render it correctly for viewers.
• IP Addresses: We temporarily process IP addresses for rate limiting and spam prevention. IP data is not stored permanently and is not linked to individual users.
• Password Hashes: If you password-protect a note, we store a bcrypt-hashed version of the password. We cannot recover or read the original password.
• Analytics: We do not use third-party analytics, tracking pixels, or cookies for advertising purposes. We display ads through Google AdSense; see Section 8 for details.

4. How We Use Your Information

• Delivering the note-sharing service (storing and retrieving notes).
• Preventing abuse, spam, and excessive automated use (rate limiting).
• Improving service reliability and performance.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Notes are stored only as long as you choose. If you set an expiration time, the note is permanently deleted from our database once that time passes. Even for notes without expiration, we reserve the right to remove old or unused content as part of routine maintenance. Once a note is deleted, it cannot be recovered.

6. AI Features

AI enhancement and formatting features send your note content to OpenAI's API. We do not retain this data beyond the immediate request, and OpenAI's use of API data is governed by their own privacy policies. If you prefer not to share content with third-party AI services, simply avoid using the Enhance and Format features.

7. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security practices including HTTPS encryption, bcrypt password hashing, strict HTTP security headers, rate limiting, and spam detection. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security. Please use password protection for sensitive content.

8. Third-Party Services

myJotup uses the OpenAI API for optional AI features. We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the service. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your visit to our site and other sites. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices and opt out of personalized ads at Google Ad Settings. We do not integrate social media trackers or analytics platforms. Your note content is never sold to third parties.

9. Downloaded Content

When you download a note as a PDF, Word Document, or Plain Text file, the file is generated entirely in your browser. No content is sent to external servers during the export process.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
