Who we are
The operator and data controller for this website is DeveloperData.net (Developer Data), Empire Tower, 41st Floor, Unit 4106-7, South Sathorn Road, Yannawa, Sathorn, Bangkok 10120, Thailand. Contact: [email protected].
Notes you sync
A note you have not switched sync on for never leaves your computer. When you switch sync on, we keep the note's text and formatting, its tab names, its saved versions, and the name of each computer that syncs it, so we can show where a change came from. Passcodes are stored only as a one-way hash.
Live notes
When you go live, what you type in the live tab is shown to everyone on the live page as you type it, and a copy of it about once a second is kept for the replay for 90 days. Each live and premiere keeps the country it was started from and the language of the app, browser or program that started it (and, from the app, its timezone). If you ask a question on someone's live page, the question and the name you give (if any) are shown to everyone there. With it we keep your country and a one-way hash of your IP address that changes every day, only to stop floods of questions. A vote is counted once per browser, using a random number your browser keeps; we store only a hash of it.
If your account has a username, your lives, premieres and the last 30 days of replays are listed on notesocket.com/live-notes and in the ticker on our homepage, with their title, your username and how many are watching. Turn this off under Account, Lives and videos, and they come off the list at once; the live pages themselves stay open to anyone with the link.
A live page can offer a catch-up and a translation. For these, the live's text, title and Now lines (never anything about the people watching) are sent to an AI service, MiniMax, through our own gateway, and what comes back is kept: the catch-up until the live's next one, and each translated paragraph for 60 days, so it's only translated once. In your studio, Write them with AI sends that live's lines and Now lines the same way, and the chapters that come back are kept with the live, like chapters you set yourself. Watching in another language is remembered in your browser only.
Videos and premieres
When you make a video of a live in your account's studio, it is made on your own computer, in your browser, from the replay. The video, its captions and its chapters are never uploaded to us. The chapter titles you edit, a premiere you set up and a replay you choose to loop on stream are kept with the live. A premiere plays the replay again on a live page at the time you set, and the people following you can be emailed when it starts, as for any live.
API keys
On Premium you can make keys for the API in Account, API. We keep a hash of each key to check calls against, and the key itself encrypted so you can copy it again; deleting a key removes both. For each call made with a key we keep when it was made, what it asked for, the answer's status and a short line saying what it did, for 30 days, so you can see them in your account. What a call writes goes into your note like anything you type.
Webhooks
On Premium you can add addresses in Account, Webhooks for NoteSocket to post to when something happens in your notes. We keep each address, the notes and events it's for, and its signing secret, encrypted so you can copy it again. What we send is what the event is about: the note's code, title and revision, the names of the tabs that changed, a ticked item's text, a live's title and address, or a question and the name its asker gave. Never a whole note. For 30 days we keep each delivery, what was sent, when each try was made, and the start of the answer your server gave, so you can see them in your account. Deleting an address stops anything more going to it.
Writers and comments
On Premium you can invite people by email to write in your notes. We keep the email address you typed, the colour you picked and when the invite was sent, and we send that person one email with a link that works for 14 days. Once they join, they can read and write in the notes you chose, and see who else writes in them. For each line of those notes we keep who last wrote it and when, so each writer's lines can be shown in their colour. Comments are kept with the note: who wrote each one, when, and the line it was about. Everyone in a thread gets an email when someone replies, and you hear about new comments. When you remove a writer, their computers and browsers stop writing at once; what they wrote stays in the note.
Your brand
On Premium you can set a colour and upload a logo for your pages. We keep the logo only as a square picture made from it (nothing else in the file is kept), and it's shown publicly wherever your brand shows: your page, your live pages, your shared notes and embeds, their share pictures, and your stream overlay. Removing it, or going back to NoteSocket's look, deletes it.
Visits to this site
For each page request we record the page, the site you came from (its name only), your browser's user agent and the kind of device it says it is (computer, phone or tablet), your browser's first language, your IP address, the country Cloudflare reports for it, and the time. We use this to count visitors, tell people from automated crawlers, and spot faults. It is never sold or used for advertising.
The Windows app
The app checks with us when it opens and every six hours, for a notice such as a new version. That check sends a random number made for your computer (not its name), the app's version, your Windows version, screen scale and number of screens, its timezone and its display language, and we keep the country Cloudflare reports for it. We keep them to count which versions are in use and where. The app sends the same timezone and language with each call to sync, so a note or a live you start records the country, timezone and language it was started from. If the app ever breaks, it saves your notes on your computer first, then asks whether to send us a report, unless you chose to always send one. A report holds where in the app it broke, the error, the app and Windows versions, and how many tabs were open. It never holds your notes, their titles, file names, your user name or your computer's name.
Premium accounts
For Premium we keep your email address, your plan and your Stripe customer reference. We never see or keep your card number. Support messages you send us are kept with your account.
Who else is involved
Cloudflare carries every request to this site. Stripe takes payments. Email to you is sent through Postmark. Catch-ups, translations and chapters written with AI come from MiniMax. The fonts on this site are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when they load.
Cookies
Visiting this site sets no cookies unless you arrive from a partner's link, when one cookie, ap_click, remembers that partner for 60 days so they can be credited if you subscribe. It is set by this site only, holds no personal details, and a newer partner link replaces it. Signing in to Premium sets a session cookie.
How long
Visit records are deleted after 400 days. A synced note stays until you switch sync off or delete the note, and is removed from our servers within 30 days of that. Its saved versions on our servers are kept for 90 days. App crash reports are deleted after 90 days, and the app's record of a computer after 180 days without a check. Account details are kept while your account is open, and billing records as long as the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email [email protected] and we will reply within 30 days.
