TapLabs ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us while using the Tap Notes browser extension ("the Extension"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have concerning your data.


To provide you with a seamless and feature-rich note-taking experience, the Extension collects and processes the following types of information:

• Account Information: If you choose to authenticate and sync your notes, we collect your email address and profile name via our secure Magic Link authentication system.
• User-Generated Content: This includes the text notes, checklists, drawings, and images you create and save within the Extension.

• Device Identifiers: We generate an anonymous, randomized Device ID stored locally on your machine to manage layout preferences, themes, and autosave intervals without needing to track your personal identity.

To function properly, Tap Notes requests the following browser permissions:
- storage & unlimitedStorage: Used exclusively to save your notes, images, drawings, and application settings locally on your device (using IndexedDB and Browser Local Storage) so they are available offline and load instantly.


We use the collected information strictly for the operation and improvement of the Extension:
- Core Functionality: To save, retrieve, and render your notes and drawings.
- Synchronization & Backup: If you create an account, we use your email to authenticate you and securely sync your notes across your devices.
- Personalization: To remember your layout (grid/list), theme (dark/light), and autosave preferences.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or notes to any third parties. We do not inject advertisements or track your general web browsing activity.

• Local Storage: By default, your notes, drawings, and images are stored securely on your local device within the browser's sandboxed environment.
• Cloud Storage: If you authenticate, your data is securely transmitted and stored using Google Firebase (our backend provider). Firebase employs industry-standard encryption protocols (both in transit and at rest) to protect your data.

Tap Notes utilizes Google Firebase to handle authentication (Firebase Auth) and cloud storage (Firestore). Data processed by Firebase is governed by Google's overarching Privacy Policy. We only utilize these services for the direct functionality of Tap Notes.


You retain full control over your data:
- Access and Modification: You can view and edit your notes and profile directly within the Extension at any time.
- Deletion: You can delete individual notes or drawings within the Extension. If you wish to delete your entire account and all associated cloud data, please contact us or use the account management features provided in the Extension.
- Local Clearing: You can clear all local data by uninstalling the Extension or clearing your browser's extension storage.


We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, through an in-extension notification.


If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please reach out to us at:
