Privacy Policy — Sticki.ly

Sticki.ly is a cross-platform sticky-note app for macOS, Windows, iPhone, Android, and the web. You can use one local sticki for free, or sign in to sync your stickis across your own devices. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, what we never collect, and how to turn off optional analytics.

When you sign in, we collect your email address, a device identifier, the device name you provide implicitly through the operating system, and the platform identifier (macos, windows, ios, android, or web). We use this information to verify your purchase status, enforce the 10-device limit, and route synced stickis to the right account. Stickis you have not synced remain local to that device or browser until they sync.

If cloud sync is enabled, we store the stickis you choose to sync: title, note body, timestamps, attachment metadata, and the single file you attach to a sticki. Attachment files and metadata needed to associate those files with your account are stored in Bravely-managed storage. Guest-mode stickis stay on your device/browser unless you later sign in and choose to migrate them.

Sticki.ly uses email-based verification codes instead of passwords. When you request a code, we store a hashed version of that code, your normalized email address, the requesting device ID, the request timestamp, and an expiration timestamp. Verification emails are delivered through our transactional email provider. We never return the code over the API, and expired or consumed codes are invalidated automatically.

For web purchases, our merchant-of-record billing provider processes billing, invoicing, and sales tax/VAT compliance. On iPhone and Android, purchases are processed by Apple and Google through in-app purchase flows. We store the minimum entitlement data needed to tell whether Sticki.ly Pro is active for your Bravely Account. We do not collect or store payment card details.

Sticki.ly uses product analytics across web, desktop, and mobile. Events cover things like onboarding completion, paywall views, purchase restores, sync failures, and update installs. We do not send your sticki contents, attachment file contents, filenames, or free-form text to analytics. You can disable analytics at any time in Settings on every client. Desktop apps may also fetch an update feed from bravely.dev to check for new signed releases; those checks include only version and platform context required to deliver the update.

We do not collect any of the following unless you explicitly attach or sync them yourself: • Your contacts, address book, calendar, or reminders • Your location • Your camera or microphone feed • Advertising identifiers (IDFA, GAID) • Payment card numbers or billing addresses • Data from apps outside Sticki.ly • The contents of files you did not attach to a sticki

We use the limited information above solely to: • Authenticate you with email verification codes • Sync your stickis and attachments across your own devices • Verify Sticki.ly Pro entitlements and sync purchases • Enforce storage and device limits • Deliver product support and investigate account issues • Improve the app through aggregate analytics if you have not opted out

We share only the minimum necessary information with service providers that help us run Sticki.ly: hosting and storage, verification emails, cross-platform entitlement state, web billing, mobile billing, and product analytics. We do not sell your data and we do not share it for advertising.

Synced stickis and attachments remain stored until you delete them, remove your account data, or ask us to delete your account. Purchase and entitlement records are retained as long as needed to honor your subscription history, sync purchases on reinstall, and process refunds. Analytics events are retained according to our workspace retention policy. To request deletion of your account data, email support@bravely.dev.

Sticki.ly is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Depending on where you live, you have rights over the personal data we hold about you. We honor these rights for everyone who asks, regardless of where you live. • Access — ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy. • Correction — ask us to fix data that is wrong or incomplete. • Deletion — ask us to delete your personal data by emailing privacy@bravely.dev from the address on your account. Where a product has a built-in Delete Account control you can use that instead; bravely.dev/delete-account explains what applies to each product. • Portability — ask for your data in a portable, machine-readable format. • Objection and restriction — ask us to stop or limit certain processing. • Withdraw consent — where we rely on consent (marketing email, optional analytics), you can withdraw it at any time without affecting processing that already happened. • Non-discrimination — we will not degrade your service or charge you more for exercising any of these rights. EEA and UK residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. California residents may use an authorized agent; we may verify the agent's authority and confirm the request with you first. Other US states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and others as they take effect) have equivalent rights, including a right to appeal a denied request — reply to our decision email with "Appeal" and we will respond in writing within the period the law requires. Canadian residents have access, correction, and consent-withdrawal rights under PIPEDA; Australian residents have access and correction rights under the Australian Privacy Principles. To exercise any right, email privacy@bravely.dev. We respond within the timeframe the applicable law requires — generally 30 days under GDPR and 45 days under the CCPA, with an extension where the law permits one. We may need to verify your identity before acting, usually by confirming control of the email address on the account.

If you are in the EEA or UK, we rely on these lawful bases under the GDPR and UK GDPR: • Performance of a contract — creating and securing your account, delivering the features you paid for, syncing your content, processing purchases, and providing support. • Legitimate interests — keeping the service secure and reliable, preventing fraud and abuse, understanding aggregate product usage, and improving the product. We balance these against your rights and do not use them to justify intrusive tracking. • Consent — marketing email, and optional analytics where a client offers a toggle. You can withdraw consent at any time. • Legal obligation — keeping tax, accounting, and consent records, and responding to lawful requests.

Bravely Studios LLC is a US company. We and our sub-processors process data in the United States and in other countries where they operate. For personal data originating in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate transfer safeguards in our processor agreements — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum — where those safeguards are required. Email privacy@bravely.dev if you want more detail about the safeguards that apply to you.

For California residents, the categories of personal information we collect for this product are: • Identifiers — your Bravely Account identifier, email address, and device or installation identifiers. • Commercial information — records of purchases, subscriptions, entitlements, trials, and refunds. • Internet or other electronic network activity — aggregate feature-usage events, app version, platform, crash and error reports. • Coarse geolocation — a country-level signal derived from your network connection, used for consent rules and tax. • Your content — only the content the product is built to store or sync for you, described in the sections above. We collect this from you, your device, and our own systems, and we use it to run the product, honor what you have bought, keep the service secure, and support you. We disclose it to the service providers listed under "Sub-processors," each for a business purpose under a written contract. We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined by the CCPA and CPRA, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose that would trigger the right to limit. If that ever changes we will update this policy and provide the required opt-out before the practice begins. Retention is described under "Data Retention" above and, for account-level data, in the Bravely Account privacy policy.

We use the following service providers to run this product. They receive only what they need to perform their service for us, and each is bound by the data-processing terms that apply to our use of their service. Where a provider is not yet covered by a written data-processing agreement with us, its entry below says so. If you need a data-processing agreement in place before you use this product, email privacy@bravely.dev: • Cloudflare, Inc. — hosting, the Workers runtime, D1 databases, R2 object storage, and bot protection for bravely.dev and our app subdomains. See cloudflare.com/privacypolicy. • Google LLC — Firebase Authentication, which backs Bravely Account sign-in (including Sign in with Google). See policies.google.com/privacy. • Apple Inc. — Sign in with Apple, and App Store purchase and receipt handling for our Apple platform apps. See apple.com/legal/privacy. • Paddle.com Market Ltd — our merchant of record for purchases made on the web or in our desktop apps. Paddle handles checkout, payment processing, invoicing, and sales tax/VAT. See paddle.com/legal/privacy. • RevenueCat, Inc. — validates App Store and Google Play receipts and reports subscription lifecycle events so we can unlock what you bought. See revenuecat.com/privacy. • PostHog Inc. — product analytics for aggregate feature usage and reliability. See posthog.com/privacy. • Resend Inc. — sends our transactional email (sign-in codes, receipts, password resets, support replies). See resend.com/legal/privacy-policy. If we add or change a sub-processor in a way that materially changes how your data is processed, we will update this policy and give additional notice where the law or our data-processing commitments require it.

We protect your data with authenticated accounts, encryption in transit, access controls on our backend systems, and a deliberately small number of people who can reach production. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim guarantees we have not built and verified. Where a product makes a specific security claim, that claim appears in the app-specific sections above and is limited to what we have actually shipped. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant regulators as required by law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change — a new category of data, a new sub-processor, a new purpose, or a new legal basis — we will update the "Last updated" and "Effective" dates and give additional notice where the law requires it. Where a change requires fresh consent under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CASL, or a similar regime, we will ask for it before relying on the new purpose. Non-material changes (typos, clarifications, link fixes) are reflected by updating the "Last updated" date.
