What afternote collects, why, and the third parties that help run the service.
What we collect and why
- Google profile (email, name, profile picture) — to create your account and sign you in.
- Notes, attachments, and chats you create in afternote — to store them, organize them, and answer questions about them.
- Usage data (how many AI requests you make, when, and how much they cost) — to enforce fair-use limits and prevent abuse.
- Anonymous traffic stats (pageviews, signup, note-created events) — to understand what’s working without tracking individual visitors.
Where your data lives
Afternote uses a small set of vendors to run the service:
- Supabase — database storage (notes, accounts, usage logs) and Google sign-in.
- Vercel — hosting and serverless compute.
- OpenAI— large language models for chat, classification, and embeddings. Your notes are sent to OpenAI when AI features run. Per OpenAI’s API terms, your content is not used to train their models.
- Google — identity provider for sign-in.
- Plausible — cookieless, anonymous web analytics.
None of these vendors are sold your data; they process it on afternote’s behalf to provide the service.
How long we keep it
Notes and account data are kept until you delete them or your account. Usage logs are kept long enough to enforce limits and analyze cost. Analytics is aggregated and contains no personally identifiable information.
One deliberate exception: records of operator access to your data are kept even after you delete your account. These contain no note content — only the fact that access happened and when — and they are retained precisely so that such access can’t be erased by deleting an account.

Your rights
You can export your notes at any time from within the app. You can delete your account, which removes your notes and personal data from afternote’s storage. For other requests — data access, correction, or anything else — email us.
Cookies and tracking
Afternote doesn’t use third-party advertising cookies. The app uses essential cookies only — to keep you signed in. Plausible analytics is cookieless and doesn’t track you across sites.
Age
Afternote isn’t designed for use by anyone under 18. Please don’t sign up if you’re younger than that.
Changes
This page may change as afternote grows. Material changes will be sent by email before they take effect.
