Privacy Policy
1. What Scrib collects
Nothing. Scrib does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. The privacy nutrition labels on the App Store and Google Play both read Data Not Collected because that is the truth.
2. What lives on your device
The only data Scrib touches is the data you create — your notes — and it stays on your device:
- Notes are written to an encrypted local database in the app's private storage container.
- Every note is encrypted at rest with AES-256.
- The encryption key is stored in your operating system's secure key store — Android Keystore on Android, iOS Keychain on iOS — both of which are hardware-backed where the device supports it.
- If you set a PIN, the PIN is hashed with PBKDF2 and only the hash is stored. Scrib cannot recover your PIN.
Uninstalling Scrib removes everything — there is no remote copy.
3. Network access
Scrib does not request network access. The Android manifest declares no INTERNET permission. The iOS build makes no outbound network calls. The one exception is the in-app "Rate Scrib" link in Settings, which hands a URL to the operating system so it can open the App Store or Play Store listing — Scrib itself does not perform the request.
4. Third parties
Scrib has no integrated third-party SDKs. No Firebase, no Crashlytics, no Sentry, no Mixpanel, no AppsFlyer, no advertising network of any kind.
The app stores themselves (Apple App Store, Google Play) collect their own install metrics under their own privacy policies. That data is theirs, not Scrib's.
5. Permissions
Scrib requests only the permissions it needs to function:
- Storage (Android) / App Sandbox (iOS) — to read and write your notes.
- Microphone (Android, optional, voice input feature) — only used while you are actively recording a voice note. Audio is never stored or transmitted; it is converted to text on-device and discarded.
6. Children
Scrib is rated 4+ on the App Store and Everyone on Google Play. Because Scrib does not collect data from anyone, it does not collect data from children either.
7. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Material changes will also be summarized in the app's release notes.
8. Contact
Scrib is built by Beeswax Pat — an independent developer. The fastest way to reach the developer is on X: @BeeswaxPat.
