This policy covers the NotePADD - notepad offline extension for Chrome. It adds the details for this extension to the general HotPanCake privacy policy.
Who is responsible
PayForSay s. r. o., Doležalova 3424/15C, Bratislava – Ružinov, 821 04, Slovakia (Reg. No. 54 455 073, VAT SK2121683322) publishes HotPanCake extensions. Contact: info.hotpancake@gmail.com.
NotePADD does not send personal data to us, so for the extension itself we do not process your notes. When you use the optional backup, the spreadsheet is stored by Google under your Google account, and Google's privacy policy applies to it.
What stays on your computer
- Your notes, their names and which note is open (in the extension's local storage, in your Chrome profile)
- Encryption and auto-lock settings. Your password is not stored; while the notepad is unlocked, a key derived from it is kept for the session
- The interface language
- If you connect Google Drive: the sign-in tokens Google issues to the extension
This data is deleted when you remove the extension.
What goes to Google, and only if you choose
The backup is off until you click the cloud icon, agree to share your notes with Google Sheets and sign in with your Google account (Google's OAuth sign-in). The extension asks Google for access only to files it creates itself (drive.file). Then:
- NotePADD creates one spreadsheet, Notes sheet, in your own Google Drive and keeps it updated with your notes: the note name and the note text as plain text, or encrypted text if you turned on encryption;
- the extension talks directly to Google's servers (
googleapis.com); nothing passes through HotPanCake.
To stop the backup, use Exit in the extension. To remove the data, delete the Notes sheet spreadsheet from your Drive and remove NotePADD's access in your Google account's security settings.
What is sent to us
Nothing. The extension does not send your notes, settings, identifiers or usage statistics to HotPanCake.
When you install or remove NotePADD, or use Rate us or Request feature, Chrome opens a page on hotpancake.com. These are ordinary web pages covered by the site privacy policy; a form there sends only what you type into it.
What is not collected
- The text of your notes
- Your password
- Browsing history or the content of pages you visit
We do not sell or rent data, do not use it for advertising, and do not use it to determine creditworthiness.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction and portability, and you can object to processing. Write to info.hotpancake@gmail.com. You can also complain to the Slovak data protection authority (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov SR) or the authority in your country.
Changes
We update this page when the extension starts to process data differently. The date at the top shows the current version.
