Out West AI / NextNotes / Privacy Policy
NextNotes Privacy Policy
The short version: NextNotes collects nothing. Your notes live on your own Nextcloud server and on your device. The app has no accounts of ours, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. It talks to the server you configure and nowhere else.
What data the app handles
- Your notes are stored on the Nextcloud server you sign in to, and cached on your device so they work offline. They are never sent to Out West AI or any third party.
- Your server address and sign-in use Nextcloud's Login Flow v2: you approve the app on your own server, and the app receives a revocable app token. Your password is never seen or stored by NextNotes. The token is kept in the system Keychain on your device.
- Settings (sort order, appearance, and similar preferences) are stored locally on your device.
What we collect
Nothing. NextNotes contains no analytics or telemetry libraries, sets no identifiers, and makes no network connections other than to the Nextcloud server you configure. We cannot see your notes, your server address, or even whether you use the app.
Crash reports
We do not collect crash reports ourselves. If you have opted in to sharing analytics with Apple, Apple may provide us anonymised crash information under Apple's privacy policy.
Importing from Apple Notes
The optional "Import from Apple Notes" feature reads your Apple Notes only after you approve the standard macOS permission prompt, converts them to Markdown on your device, and saves them to your Nextcloud server. Nothing is sent anywhere else.
Your data, your control
- Notes are plain Markdown files on your server — you can read, back up, or move them at any time.
- Revoke the app's access whenever you like from your Nextcloud security settings.
- Deleting the app removes the local cache and its Keychain token from your device.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date. Because the app collects nothing, changes are expected to be rare.
