InkSafe is a privacy-first notebook app for journaling and digital drawing. All your notes, sketches, and data stay on your device. We do not operate any servers or cloud services for this app.
We do not collect any personal data. InkSafe does not transmit your data to external servers. There are no accounts and no cloud sync. The app is ad-supported and the AdMob SDK performs ad tracking (see Third-Party Services).
In-app purchases. Any purchase inside the app (such as the upgrade that removes ads) is handled by Google Play Billing on Android and by the Apple App Store on iPhone and iPad. Google or Apple processes the payment and keeps the record (Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy); the app only learns whether the purchase is active. We never see your payment details. Restoring a purchase checks your Google Play or App Store account.
InkSafe stores your notes locally on your device:
This data never leaves your device.
Photos and Face ID. Adding a picture to a note opens the system photo picker and uses only the image you choose. If you turn on Face ID or fingerprint unlock, the check is done by your device; InkSafe only learns whether it succeeded and never receives biometric data.
The free version makes network requests to Google AdMob to serve ads. No other data leaves your device. The Pro version makes no advertising requests; apart from Google Play Billing (Apple's App Store on iPhone and iPad), which handles and restores your purchase, it functions entirely offline.
The free version may display ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data per Google's Privacy Policy. The Pro version has no ads or third-party services.
Ads on iPhone and iPad. On iOS the ads are also served by Google AdMob, under Google's privacy policy. Before the first ad is requested, the app runs Google's consent step, which presents Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt asking whether the app may track you. If you do not allow tracking, or the prompt is not shown, iOS does not give the app or Google your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), and ads are not personalised using it. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Your notes are stored in your device's local storage, protected by your device's built-in security. Uninstalling the app will delete all stored data. Kids Mode locks are stored locally (v0.1 uses plaintext storage; future versions will use encryption).
InkSafe includes a Kids Mode feature for parents to lock certain folders. This feature is intended for parental control and does not collect any data about children. InkSafe is not directed at children under 13 for independent use.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
