NoteCC Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy sets out how we, NoteCC  (“NoteCC”), use and protect your personal data that you provide to us, or that is otherwise obtained or generated by us, in connection with your use of our cloud-based annotation services (the “Services”). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refers to NoteCC, and ‘you’ refers to you, the user of the Services.
1.1 Privacy Principles

NoteCC has two fundamental principles when it comes to collecting and processing private data:

    We don't use your data to show you ads.
    We only store the data that NoteCC needs to function as a secure and feature-rich annotation service.

1.2. Terms of Service

This Privacy Policy forms part of our Terms of Service, which describes the terms under which you use our Services and which are available at https://NoteCC.valab.org. This Privacy Policy should therefore be read in conjunction with those terms.
1.3. Table of Contents

This Privacy Policy explains the following:

    the legal basis for processing your personal data;
    what personal data we may collect from you;
    how we keep your personal data safe;
    what we may use your personal data for;
    who your personal data may be shared with; and
    your rights regarding your personal data.

1.4. EEA Representative

If you live in a country in the European Economic Area (EEA), the Services are provided by NoteCC, which for the purposes of applicable data protection legislation is the data controller responsible for your personal data when you use our Services. However, as NoteCC is located outside the EEA, we have designated one of our EEA-based group companies, 
NoteCC UK, as a representative to whom you may direct any issues you have relating to our processing of your personal data.
2. Legal Ground for Processing Your Personal Data

We process your personal data on the ground that such processing is necessary to further our legitimate interests (including: (1) providing effective and innovative Services to our users; and (2) to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud or security issues in respect of our provision of Services), unless those interests are overridden by your interest or fundamental rights and freedoms that require protections of personal data.
3. What Personal Data We Use
3.1. Basic Account Data

Notes is an encrypted cloud storage service

Only data such as IP address and periods of activity are collected for the purpose of optimizing the service.
