1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores on your device so it can remember things between visits — like keeping you logged in or remembering your language choice. NoteWhispr also uses similar browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) for the same purposes.
2. The cookies and storage we use
Essential (always on)
These keep the Service working. Without them you couldn't sign in or use the app. They are not optional.
- nw_token — your signed authentication token (kept in localStorage), required to stay logged in
- nw_lang — remembers your selected language (e.g., en, es, ja) across visits
- nw_jonathan_session — anonymous session ID for the Jonathan chatbot conversation (sessionStorage, cleared when you close the tab)
- Stripe checkout cookies — set by Stripe during payment to prevent fraud and complete the transaction
Analytics (anonymous, aggregate)
We collect minimal anonymous usage data (which features get used, error rates) to make the product better. No identifiers, no cross-site tracking, no profiles built about you. You can opt out by emailing us.
Marketing
We don't use marketing cookies. We don't show ads. We don't share data with ad networks.
3. Third-party services
A few essential third parties may set their own cookies when their functionality is in use:
- Stripe — payment processing and fraud prevention on the Billing page
- Cloud hosting / CDN — performance and security cookies for fast page delivery
These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which you can review on their websites.
4. Managing cookies
You can clear cookies and local storage at any time from your browser settings. Note that signing out of NoteWhispr or clearing the nw_token value will log you out. You can also use private/incognito windows to browse without persistent storage.
On the Account page (when signed in) you can also clear your preferences and request data deletion.
5. Changes to this policy
If we add new cookies or storage usage, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date at the top. For material changes that affect privacy, we'll also email active users.
