Privacy Policy

The short version

• Everything you write is stored on your own computer, in the browser.
• Nothing is uploaded to us. The only Easy Note server is a small relay that exists for the optional Connect to Claude feature, which is off by default; it does not store or log your notes (see below).
• If you sign in with Google, your notes are copied to a private folder in your own Google Drive so they reach your other computers.
• There is no advertising, no tracking and no analytics inside the extension.
• Nothing is ever sold or shared.

What Easy Note stores on your computer

Saved in your browser's local database, and readable only by the extension itself:

• Your notes — their text, images you paste, colour, size and position
• Your pages and how they are arranged
• Small preferences: which page you were on, where the canvas was scrolled, whether the sidebar is open

Uninstalling the extension removes all of it. If you had signed in, the copy in your Drive folder remains until you delete it there.

If you sign in with Google

Sync is entirely optional. Easy Note works fully without ever signing in.

When you do sign in, it asks Google for two things:

• A private app folder in your Drive (drive.appdata) — where your notes, pages and images are kept so they reach your other computers. This folder is hidden: it does not appear in My Drive, and no other app can read it.
• Your email address — shown in the sync panel so you can see which account you are signed in as. It is displayed only; Easy Note never stores or transmits it.

Signing out removes the stored access token and stops syncing. Your notes stay on your computer, and the copy in your Drive folder stays there until you remove it.

Who your data is shared with

Nobody. Unless you turn on Connect to Claude, the extension talks to exactly two addresses, both Google's, and only on your behalf once you have signed in:

• www.googleapis.com — to read and write your notes in your own Drive app folder
• oauth2.googleapis.com — to revoke the access token when you sign out

With Connect to Claude on, it also keeps a connection open to relay.easynote.tayfai.tech, and that relay may read your Easy Note folder in your Drive on your behalf (see the next section). There are no other network requests, no third-party services, no advertising networks and no data brokers. Your notes are never sold, rented, or used to train anything.

Connect to Claude (optional, off by default)

If you turn on Connect to Claude in the sync panel, Easy Note keeps a connection open to a small relay at relay.easynote.tayfai.tech, so that Claude, once you have added the connector and signed in with the same Google account, can search your notes, read one, or add a line to your Capture tray while Chrome is open. It cannot edit or delete anything.

• What passes through the relay. A request from Claude, and the answer — the matching notes, the one note you asked for, or your reminders. The relay hands it on and forgets it: it does not store or log note content, search words or what Claude asked for.
• When Chrome is closed. Claude can still search and read your notes, and ask what is due. The relay then reads the copy that Easy Note's Google Drive sync keeps in your own Drive, answers from it, and keeps nothing of it. That copy is only as recent as your last sync, and the answer says so. Adding to the Capture tray needs Chrome open.
• What the relay keeps. What it needs to sign you in and to do the above: your Google account's identifier (not your email address), a scrambled (hashed) copy of the long-lived sign-in token, the name and return address of the Claude connector, and an encrypted copy of the access Google gave it to the Easy Note folder in your Drive. That last one is the only thing it keeps that could be used to read your notes. It is used only when Claude asks while Chrome is closed, and it is deleted when you switch Connect to Claude off, when you remove Easy Note's access in your Google account, and after 90 days without use.
• What Claude receives. Whatever it asks for and your browser returns. What Claude does with it is governed by your agreement with Anthropic, not by this policy.
• Whose notes. The relay only passes a request to the Easy Note that is signed in with the same Google account that signed in to Claude, and refuses connections that cannot prove they belong to that account.
• Locked notes. A note you locked in an earlier version of Easy Note is never shared with Claude, whether your browser answers or the relay reads your Drive copy.
• Turning it off. Switch it off in the sync panel and the connection closes straight away. You can also remove the connector in Claude.

Deleting things

• One note — delete it in the app. It disappears immediately.
• Deleted notes and sync. When sync is on, a deleted note leaves behind a small marker recording that it was deleted, so the deletion reaches your other computers instead of the note coming back. The marker holds the note's content until it is cleared automatically after 30 days.
• Everything in Drive — sign out, then delete the app folder from your Google account settings under “Apps with access to your account”.
• Everything on this computer — remove the extension from Chrome.

Upgrading from an older version

If you used an earlier version of Easy Note, your existing notes are copied into the new format the first time v3 runs. This happens entirely on your computer. The old data is read but never changed or deleted, so going back to the previous version loses nothing.

This website

These pages — the privacy policy and the release notes — use Google Analytics to count visits. That applies to the website only. The extension itself contains no analytics of any kind; Chrome's extension security rules block that sort of script outright, and none is bundled.

Children

Easy Note is a general-purpose notes tool and is not directed at children under 13. It collects no personal information beyond what is described above.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the revision history is public in the extension's source repository. Material changes to what is collected will be called out in the release notes.
