Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 11, 2026
Who we are
White Notes (Chinese name: 白纸笔记; shown under a localized name in each language) is a notes app for iPhone and iPad, developed by huanyong zhou, an individual developer.
Data we collect
None. The app does not send any information to us or to any third party. It contains no third-party SDKs, advertising, analytics or crash-reporting services, and it does not make network requests.
Data stored on your device
To work, the app saves the following only inside its own storage on your device:
- Your notes: text, formatting, checklists, and the images you add to them
- Your folders and your settings
We cannot see or access this data. It is included in your device backups (iCloud or computer) according to your own iOS settings.
Photos and camera
- Photos: when you add an image, iOS shows its own photo picker. The app receives only the photos you choose and stores a copy inside the note. It cannot see the rest of your library.
- Camera: used only when you choose “Take Photo”. The picture is stored inside the note on your device and is not uploaded anywhere.
Face ID, Touch ID and passcode
If you lock a note or turn on authentication at launch, the check is carried out by iOS. The app only learns whether it succeeded; it never receives or stores your face, fingerprint or passcode. Locking controls access inside the app; it does not add separate encryption on top of the protection iOS already applies to app data.
Sharing, exporting and printing
Nothing leaves the app unless you ask it to. When you use Share, Export All Notes or Print, the app hands the content to the standard iOS sheet and you decide where it goes.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages. Since it collects no data, it collects no data from children.
Deleting your data
Delete notes in the app (they stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days unless you remove them permanently), or simply delete the app. Deleting the app removes everything it has stored.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
