Welcome to Cool Sticky Notes: Rich Notepad ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the privacy of our users ("user", "you"). This Privacy Policy outlines how information is collected, stored, used, and protected when you use our Android application.
Local Data Storage: All user-created data—including note titles, rich text formatting, checklists, folder structures, tags, reminder dates, stationery color choices, and attached photo URIs—is stored locally on your device using SQLite database storage.
We do not operate remote servers to upload or store your personal notes. You maintain complete control over your content, with optional manual JSON backup and restore features.
To provide core note-taking, scheduling, background notifications, and advertisement features, our app requests the following Android system permissions:
| Permission Name | Purpose & Usage Description |
|---|---|
| android.permission.INTERNET | Required to load advertisements (AdMob), deliver push notifications (OneSignal), and verify remote app maintenance status. |
| android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Required to verify active network connectivity before requesting ad content or updates. |
| android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Required on Android 13+ (API 33+) to display user-scheduled note reminder notifications and system alerts. |
| android.permission.VIBRATE | Required to trigger subtle device vibration when a scheduled note reminder alarm fires. |
| android.permission.WAKE_LOCK | Required to briefly wake the processor when a scheduled note alarm triggers to ensure timely notification delivery. |
| android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED | Required to automatically reschedule your active note reminders after your device reboots or restarts. |
Our app incorporates third-party SDKs to deliver advertisements, handle push notifications, and support app stability:
Used to display banner, interstitial, native, and app-open ads. AdMob may collect device Advertising ID (AAID), IP address, device telemetry, and interaction metrics to serve ads.

Used for system compatibility and Google Play in-app updates.

We prioritize the security of your data. Since all notes reside locally on your device, securing your device with a PIN, pattern, or biometric lock safeguards your notes against unauthorized physical access. Uninstalling the app permanently removes all locally stored app database records.
Our application is intended for general audiences aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted directly to this page.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us using the play store listing mail.
