realnote (“the extension”) is a Chrome extension that lets you create, edit, search, and delete plain-text notes from a toolbar popup.

## Summary

realnote does not transmit, sell, or share personal information. Your notes are stored only on your device. realnote does not use Google APIs to access browsing history or account data.

## Data stored locally

realnote uses `chrome.storage.local` to save:

- Schema version (`realnote.schemaVersion`)
- Your notes (`realnote.notes`) — each note includes an id, title, body, createdAt, and updatedAt

This data never leaves your device and is not synced to realnote servers (realnote has no servers).

## Data not collected

realnote does not collect:

- Names, email addresses, or account information
- Browsing history or website content
- Location data
- Health, financial, or authentication information
- Analytics, advertising identifiers, or usage telemetry
- Cookies or similar tracking technologies

## How the extension works

- The popup UI runs entirely in your browser
- Notes are read and written with the Chrome `storage` API
- No remote scripts, fonts, images, or configuration files are fetched
- Undo for deleted notes is kept in memory only until the popup closes or the undo timer expires

## Permissions

- **storage** — save and load your notes locally on your device

realnote makes **no network requests**.

realnote does **not** change Chrome search settings and does not replace the new-tab page.

## Chrome Web Store User Data Policy

realnote is designed to comply with the [Chrome Web Store User Data Policy](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/program-policies/user-data-faq), including Limited Use requirements. Local note content is used only to provide the note-taking feature.

## Children’s privacy

realnote does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
