Folio Notes does not host your data. Your notebooks live on your device. If you sync them to a cloud provider or use AI features, your data goes to the provider you chose, under that provider's terms. We never see it.
Who we are
Folio Notes is a notebook app for Windows 11 made by Lambros Vasiliou. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Lambros Vasiliou, and "the app" means Folio Notes.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not run servers that store your notebooks, and there is no Folio Notes account to sign up for.
- The app does not send us your notes, your files or anything you type.
- The app does not send us telemetry, analytics or crash reports.
- We do not sell or share personal data, because we do not hold any.
Where your notebooks are stored
Your notebooks are stored on your own device, in the location you choose. They stay there unless you decide to sync or move them.
Syncing to a cloud provider
You can choose to keep notebooks in a cloud storage service. If you do, your notebooks are stored and processed by that provider, using your own account with them.
- We have no access to notebooks you sync, and we cannot recover, export or delete them for you.
- How the provider stores, secures, shares and retains your data is outside our control. It is governed by the provider's own terms and privacy policy.
- You can stop syncing at any time. Removing data already held by the provider is done through your account with them.
AI features
AI features in the app are optional. They work in one of two ways, and neither involves our servers.
- Your own API key. If you connect an AI service with your own key, the content you choose to send goes directly from your device to that service. The service processes it under its own terms and privacy policy, which are outside our control. We never receive your key or the content you send.
- Local models. If you use a model that runs on your device, the processing happens on your device. How that model and its runtime behave is determined by the software you installed, not by us.
Please read the terms of any AI service before sending it personal or confidential notes.
The Microsoft Store
If you install the app from the Microsoft Store, Microsoft handles the download, updates and any payment under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Microsoft may show us aggregated statistics about installs and app reliability. These do not identify you.
This website
This website has no sign-up forms, no advertising and no analytics or tracking cookies of ours. It loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google when you open a page. The company that hosts the site may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses, to run and protect the service.
If you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use them only to reply and to deal with your request.

Changes to this policy
If the app starts handling data differently, we will update this page and change the effective date at the top before the change takes effect.
