Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
The short version
Small Talk is private by design. Your notes are stored on your device, encrypted. We don't have servers, so we can't see your data. We don't have accounts, so we don't know who you are.
What we collect
Nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. We don't collect personal information, usage data, or device identifiers. We don't know who you are or how you use the app.
How your data is stored
Your notes are stored on your device, encrypted. We don't have servers. There's nothing to hack because there's nothing to steal.
Backup
If you enable backup, your data is stored in your own iCloud or Google Drive account. It's encrypted by Apple or Google and protected by your platform account. We never see it, never touch it, and have no access to it.
You can also export your notes as a file. Once exported, that file is yours to manage — we have no access to it.
You can disable backup or delete your backups at any time through your device settings.
Third-party services
We don't use analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or any external services. The only third parties involved are Apple and Google — for the app stores and, if you choose, backup to your own cloud account.
In-app purchases
Small Talk offers a one-time purchase to unlock extra themes and export. Payments are handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never see your payment information.
Data sharing
Never. We don't share data because we don't have any. We couldn't share your notes even if we wanted to.
Your control
It's your notebook. You can delete any note, any person, or everything at once — anytime. Uninstall the app and all local data is gone. To remove backups, delete them from your iCloud or Google Drive account.
Children's privacy
Small Talk is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children. Since we don't collect information from anyone, this is straightforward.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update it here with a new date. That's it. No buried changes, no surprises.
