Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 10, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Auronote Privacy Policy. This document outlines how we handle your data when you use our Chrome extension.

At Auronote, we take your privacy very seriously. Our extension is designed with privacy in mind, storing your notes locally on your device rather than on our servers. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information through the Auronote Chrome extension.

By installing and using Auronote, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our extension.

2. Information We Collect

Local Storage: Auronote stores your notes (both text and audio) locally on your device using Chrome's storage APIs. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics to help us improve the extension. This includes information such as:

  • Installation and uninstallation events
  • Feature usage (which features are used most frequently)
  • Error reports
  • Extension version information

This usage data does not include any personal information or the content of your notes.

Permissions: Auronote requests certain permissions to function properly, including access to the microphone (for voice recordings), storage (to save your notes locally), and new tab page (to display the Auronote interface).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Improve the Service: We use usage data to understand how users interact with our extension and make improvements.
  • To Diagnose Problems: Error reports help us identify and fix issues with the extension.
  • To Develop New Features: Usage statistics help us prioritize new features based on user behavior.

We do not use your data for advertising purposes, nor do we sell your data to third parties.

4. Data Storage and Security

Local Storage: All your notes are stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage APIs. This means:

  • Your notes are only accessible on the device where you created them
  • We do not have access to the content of your notes
  • Your notes are not synchronized across devices (unless you manually export and import them)

Data Export and Import: Auronote allows you to export your notes as a file and import them later. This file is created and stored on your local device. You are responsible for the security of this file if you choose to export your notes.

Security Measures: While we implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited information we collect, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access and Control: Since your notes are stored locally, you have full access and control over them directly through the extension interface.
  • Deletion: You can delete individual notes or all notes at any time using the extension interface.
  • Uninstallation: If you uninstall the extension, all locally stored data associated with Auronote will be removed from your device.

If you have any concerns about your privacy or need assistance with managing your data, please contact us using the information provided in the "Contact Us" section.

6. Children's Privacy

Our extension is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
