Privacy Policy
EasyNotes keeps your notes on your own PC, in the folder you choose. We do not collect, receive, store or sell any information about you. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no telemetry – and the app never contacts the internet on its own.
1What EasyNotes stores, and where
Everything EasyNotes keeps is on your device, in places you can open, copy, back up or delete yourself.
| Your notes | Topics, pages, spreadsheets, checklists, pictures, attached files, Transit and reminders are kept in the notes folder you pick when you set EasyNotes up (Settings › Storage shows it). Deleted items go to a trash folder inside it until you empty it. |
|---|---|
| Preferences and logs | Settings, the app log, the backup log, the MCP audit log, notifications and backup history live in the app’s own data folder on your device (Settings › Storage › App Data). When EasyNotes is installed from the Microsoft Store this is the package’s private storage, which Windows removes when you uninstall the app. |
| Session clipboard (optional, off by default) | While it is switched on, text and pictures you copy on this PC are kept in the app data folder so you can paste them into your notes later. They are deleted when EasyNotes exits and are never included in backups. |
| Undo history | Kept in the app data folder while EasyNotes runs and deleted when it exits. |
| Backups (on by default) | Zip archives of your notes folder and preferences, written to the backup folder you choose and kept for the number of days you set. You can turn backups off, change the folder, or delete the archives at any time. |
If your notes or backup folder is synchronised by OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or another service, that service copies the files under its own terms and privacy policy. EasyNotes does not talk to those services; it only writes files into the folder you chose.
2What EasyNotes reads from your PC
- Files you import – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV, web pages, code and other files are read only when you choose them, and a copy is placed in your notes folder. The original is never changed.
- OneNote – only when you start the optional OneNote import. EasyNotes asks the OneNote desktop app on your PC for the notebooks you tick and copies them into your notes folder. OneNote is read, never changed.
- The Windows clipboard – only while the session clipboard is switched on (Settings › Session Clipboard).
- Time zones – the world clocks in the header use the time-zone data that is already on your PC. No network request is made.
EasyNotes runs as a standard user and never asks for administrator rights.
3AI tools (MCP) – off unless you switch it on
EasyNotes can offer your notes to AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol, through a local connection that only programs on your own PC can reach (the loopback address 127.0.0.1). It is off by default. When you switch it on in Settings › MCP:
- each AI tool gets its own token with the scope you choose (read, write or full), and you can revoke it at any time;
- every change an AI tool makes is shown in the app’s notification bell and written to the audit log on your PC;
- the rules you write for AI tools are sent to the tool with each session.
What a connected AI tool does with the notes it reads – including sending them to its own service – is governed by that tool’s terms and privacy policy, not by this one. Choose your tools and scopes accordingly. EasyNotes itself never sends your notes anywhere.
4Links, the Store and this website
- Help and About – the Help link in the app’s header and the links in Settings › About open pages on endpointlabz.com or LinkedIn in your default browser. That is the only time the app opens anything outside your PC, and only because you clicked.
- Microsoft Store – installing and updating EasyNotes through the Store is handled by Microsoft under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. The publisher receives only the aggregate, anonymous statistics the Store shows every publisher (such as how many times an app was acquired); no individual information reaches us.
- endpointlabz.com – this website is a set of static pages served by GitHub Pages. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising. Your light / dark choice is remembered in your own browser’s local storage and never leaves it. GitHub may keep standard web-server logs (such as the IP address of each request) under GitHub’s privacy statement.
5Organisations
If your PC is managed by an organisation, its administrators can set some EasyNotes settings through Group Policy or Intune – for example where notes are kept, backups, the session clipboard and AI tools. Those settings show as “Managed by your organisation”. Your organisation’s own policies apply to the data on its devices; this policy describes only what the app itself does.
6Your choices and control
- You can see, change, export or delete everything EasyNotes stores – it is all in your notes folder, your backup folder and the app data folder, and Settings › Storage opens each of them.
- Uninstalling EasyNotes removes its settings, logs and caches. Your notes folder and your backups are kept until you delete them, so you cannot lose your notes by accident.
- The session clipboard, backups and AI tools can each be switched off in Settings at any time.
7Children
EasyNotes is a general-purpose notes app with no account and no content from the internet. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
8Changes to this policy
If a new feature changes how EasyNotes handles information, this page is updated before that version is released and the effective date above changes. The current policy is always at endpointlabz.com/privacy, and Settings › About in the app links here.
