CamNotes ("we," "us," or "our") operates the camnotes.com website and the CamNotes mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Service.

Device data — browser type, operating system, device model, and screen resolution.
Cookies & similar technologies — we use essential cookies to keep you signed in and analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
To process your waitlist signup and send you launch updates.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

Service providers — hosting, analytics, email delivery, and AI processing partners who act on our behalf under strict data-processing agreements.
Legal obligations — when required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with prior notice to you.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Waitlist data is retained until you unsubscribe or the waitlist is closed. Account data is retained until you delete your account. You can request deletion at any time by emailing us.

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
Object to or restrict certain processing.
Data portability — receive your data in a structured format.
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@camnotes.com.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

8. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses, when transferring data internationally.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
