Privacy Policy — ABCdabra

Last updated: August 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how ABCdabra ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use our mobile application.

Summary

ABCdabra is a local-first note-taking app. Your notes, photos, drawings, audio recordings, and files are stored only on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to the content of your notes.

We use a limited, anonymous analytics service to understand how the App is used, so we can improve it.

Information We Collect

Your Notes and Content

All notes, blocks (text, photo, drawing, audio, file, date, location), and attachments you create in ABCdabra are stored locally on your device using local storage. We do not upload, back up, or have any access to this content. It never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or share it yourself using your device's built-in sharing features.

Anonymous Usage Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics (provided by Google) to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data, including:

• App opens (to understand overall usage)
• Note creation events (that a note was created, not its content)
• Block-added events, including the type of block used (e.g., text, photo, drawing) — not the content of the block
• Standard technical information automatically collected by Firebase, such as device type, operating system version, app version, and general (non-precise) location derived from IP address, for the purpose of regional usage statistics

This data is anonymous and aggregated. It is not linked to your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information, because ABCdabra does not require or collect an account, name, or email address.

What We Do NOT Collect

• The text, images, drawings, audio, or files inside your notes
• Your name, email address, or any account information (the App does not require an account)
• Precise GPS location (the optional Location block, if you choose to use it, stores location data you select locally on your device only — it is not transmitted to us)
• Contacts, photos outside of what you explicitly attach, or any other device data unrelated to app usage statistics

How We Use Information

Anonymous usage data is used solely to:

• Understand whether people are using core features of the App
• Identify where users may be encountering difficulties
• Guide future improvements to the App

We do not sell your data. We do not use this data for advertising, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect the anonymous usage data described above. Firebase's handling of this data is governed by Google's own privacy policy, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Data Storage and Security

Your notes and personal content are stored locally on your device using standard platform storage mechanisms. We recommend using your device's built-in backup features (such as iCloud or Google account device backup) if you wish to keep a backup of your local data, as ABCdabra (Free version) does not currently offer cloud sync.

Children's Privacy

ABCdabra does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the App does not require account creation and does not collect personal content, it does not knowingly gather personally identifiable information from any user, including children.

Your Choices

• You can use all core features of ABCdabra without providing any personal information.
• You can disable analytics collection through your device's system-level privacy settings (e.g., limiting ad tracking / app tracking permissions), where supported by your operating system.
• You can delete all app data at any time by uninstalling the App or clearing app data through your device settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves (for example, if we introduce optional cloud sync features in the future). Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
