Notes, folders, and attached images are stored in a database on your device. The developer cannot see them.
dol can sync through a CouchDB server that you choose and control — your own, or one from a hosting provider. When sync is on, your notes travel between your devices and that server only. The developer neither operates that server nor has any access to it. If you never turn sync on, your notes never leave your device.
The server address and password you enter are kept in your device's system keychain — Keychain on macOS and iOS, Credential Manager on Windows — and are used only to connect to the server you named.
If you attach a photo, the app reads your camera or photo library at that moment. The image is saved into your notes on your device and is not sent anywhere else. If you decline the permission, everything else in the app still works.
The Windows and Mac apps check for a new version when they start. That check tells the developer which version of dol, which operating system, and which processor you are running, along with a random identifier created on your device the first time the app runs.
You can switch this identifier off in Settings. The stored identifier is deleted, and none is sent after that. The update check itself carries on, so the version and operating system still go out — answering whether a newer version exists means knowing which one you are on.
That identifier is a random number. It is not derived from you or from anything about your machine, it is never attached to a name or an email address, and each of your devices has a different one. It exists so that one computer opened ten times is counted once.
Nothing you write is part of this. No note, no title, no folder name, and no sync server address or password is ever sent.
These reports are handled for the developer by Mixpanel, an analytics service in the United States.
The iPhone and iPad apps never check for updates — the App Store does that, so the feature is not built into them at all. No identifier, no version, and nothing else reaches the developer or Mixpanel from an iPhone or an iPad.
Apple gives the developer anonymous, aggregated statistics about apps distributed on the App Store, such as download counts and crash reports. Apple collects this, only when you have allowed it in your iOS settings, and it does not identify you.
dol carries no advertising. Your data is never linked with data from other companies and is never shared with data brokers.
