Privacy Policy

LightNote · Effective: June 16, 2026

LightNote is a local Windows application developed by NGLCZR. This policy explains how the app handles your data. In short: we do not collect, send, or store your data on our servers.

In one sentence: your files, notes, and settings stay on your machine. LightNote has no servers that receive your content, and no telemetry, ads, or tracking.

1. Data we do NOT collect

The contents of your files, notes, code, tables, tasks, or databases.
Usage data, telemetry, analytics, or behavioral metrics.
Personally identifiable information. There is no account or sign-in in the app.

2. Data that stays on your machine

Settings and session state (recent folders, open tabs, preferences) are stored locally in %LOCALAPPDATA%\LightNote (a SQLite database). This data never leaves your computer at the app's initiative. You decide whether and how to sync anything — for example, via Git or a cloud service of your choice.

3. Features that access the network (under your control)

Some features communicate with external systems only when and where you direct them to. LightNote merely performs the action you request; it does not intermediate or log that traffic on our servers:

API tester (.lnh): sends the HTTP requests you define, to the addresses you choose.
SSH/SFTP (.lns) and databases (.lnc): connect to the servers you configure, with credentials kept on your machine (encrypted when you use the Secure Phrase).
AI assistants / MCP: LightNote embeds no AI model. It orchestrates the AI command-line tools you already installed. Any content sent to AI providers is done by those tools and governed by their policies, not this one.

4. Updates

The LightNote Core edition (Microsoft Store) is updated by the Store itself, under Microsoft's policies. The free edition is downloaded manually by you from GitHub; the app does not check for updates automatically.

5. Security

Connection passwords and secure files (.lne) are encrypted locally with the workspace Secure Phrase (portable encryption). The phrase and keys never leave your machine and are not transmitted to anyone.

6. Children

LightNote is a productivity tool, is not directed at children under 13, and does not knowingly collect data from children.

7. This website

The site lightnote.com.br is hosted on third-party infrastructure (Cloudflare Pages), which may keep standard technical access logs (such as IP address) for operation and security. The site uses no tracking cookies.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top indicates the current version; significant changes will be posted on this page.
