Privacy
Your notes belong to you. Here is exactly how AsinNote keeps them that way.
Your notes stay yours
Notes, tasks, photos and files are stored in one private database inside the owner’s own Cloudflare account — not in a shared service. Nothing is saved anywhere else except your own devices. There are no ads, your notes are never sold or shared, and they aren’t used to train anything.
Only you can get in
- Only approved email addresses can sign in. Everyone else is turned away.
- Sign-in uses a one-time 6-digit code sent to your email. It expires after 10 minutes, works once, and is stored only as a scrambled hash, never as the code itself.
- Once you’re in, a secure sign-in cookie keeps you signed in. Page scripts can’t read it, and it only travels over HTTPS.
- You can sign out on one device, or on every device at once, from the menu inside the app.
How it’s protected
- Everything between your device and AsinNote travels over encrypted HTTPS.
- The database runs on Cloudflare D1, which encrypts stored data at rest with AES-256.
- To be straightforward: notes are not end-to-end encrypted. They’re readable by the app itself so it can search and sync them, and they live on Cloudflare’s infrastructure inside the owner’s account.
On your device
A copy of your notes is kept on each device you sign in on, so AsinNote works offline. Choose Sign out and remove notes from this device in the app to erase that copy — handy on a shared or borrowed computer.
What isn’t collected
No analytics, no tracking pixels, no ad networks, and no tracking cookies — the only cookie is the sign-in cookie. Inside the app, fonts load from Google Fonts and two small open-source libraries load from Cloudflare’s public CDN. Those services see ordinary request details such as your IP address, but never your notes. This page and the home page load nothing from outside.
Email, calendars and places
- Emails sent to inbox@asinnote.com are received by Cloudflare Email Routing and saved straight into your notes. Sign-in codes are sent the same way.
- Calendar links you add (Google, Airbnb or VRBO) are stored in your database. AsinNote fetches them from its own server only to show your events and bookings.
- When you add a city to the world map, only the city name you type is looked up with Open-Meteo’s free place-search service to find where it is. Photo pins come from the locations saved in your own photos.
Cloudflare
AsinNote runs on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes requests in order to deliver the site and may keep standard request logs under its own privacy policy.
Trial accounts
If you’re trying AsinNote, you get your own copy of the app with its own separate database, at its own address. No one else signs in to it, and your notes never mix with anyone else’s. Trial copies run in AsinNote’s Cloudflare account, so the account owner manages them. When you request a trial, only your first name, email and optional message are kept, to set you up.
Shared notes
Notes are private unless you share one. Sharing makes a private link to that single note. Anyone with the link can read it and comment after typing a name, but they can’t edit it or see any other note. Their name, comments and approximate city (from Cloudflare, never a precise location) are saved so the owner can see who opened it. The owner’s own sign-ins are logged the same way. Turn the link off at any time, and it stops working right away. Exporting a note to PDF or an image happens entirely on your device.
You’re in control
You can copy a full backup of your notes at any time from Settings, move notes to Trash, and remove the copy on any device. Your notes are never locked in.
