Privacy Policy
Last updated September 2026
This policy explains what personal data Notes About: collects, why, and what your rights are. Notes About: is based in the United Kingdom and this policy is written to meet UK GDPR.
What we collect
- Email address — when you log in or buy something.
- Purchase records — what you bought, when, and how much you paid.
- Login session — a small cookie that keeps you logged in. It's the only cookie we set.
We never see or store your card details. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe.
Why we collect it
- To log you in without a password, by emailing you a link or code.
- To give you access to what you've paid for.
- To handle payments and support requests.
- To email you if you sign up to be notified about an upcoming notebook.
Our legal basis is performing our contract with you, by delivering what you bought, or our legitimate interest in running the Site, such as fraud prevention.
Who we share it with
We use a small number of other companies to run the Site:
- Stripe — processes payments. See Stripe's privacy policy.
- Resend — sends login and account emails.
- Cloudflare — hosts the Site and its database.
- GoatCounter — counts page visits. It doesn't use cookies or track you individually across sites. See GoatCounter's privacy policy.
We don't sell your data, and we don't share it with anyone else.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and purchase records for as long as your account exists, since they're what proves you own what you've bought. You can ask us to delete your account at any time. We'll keep purchase records only as long as we're legally required to for tax purposes.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you can ask us to:
- Send you a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correct anything that's wrong
- Delete your account and data
- Stop using your data for a specific purpose
Email hello@notesabout.com for any of these. If you're not happy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Cookies
We use one cookie: a session cookie that keeps you logged in. It's necessary for the Site to work and isn't used for tracking or advertising. GoatCounter, our analytics tool, doesn't use cookies at all.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. If we make a material change, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
