Help & FAQ/Your data

What happens if I clear my browser data or cookies?

Ask your AI agent instead

The web app keeps your notes in your browser's own storage, so clearing site data for PrivacyNotes wipes the local copy and signs you out. Everything that already synced is safe: sign in with your 12-word phrase and it comes back. Anything that had not synced yet is gone, because we never had a copy of it.

So do two things. Check that the footer says "Synced" before you clear anything, and keep your phrase in a password manager, because a cleared browser cannot ask you nicely for it. The desktop and mobile apps are not affected at all: they keep their own storage, which a browser cleanup never touches.

Answer my questions about PrivacyNotes using only its help center, its changelog and its security documentation.

Start here: https://privacynotes.app/llms-index.txt
It lists every question with the page that answers it. Fetch the one or two that match mine.
If you can only make one request, fetch https://privacynotes.app/llms-full.txt instead.
If you cannot fetch a .txt or .md file, read https://privacynotes.app/help, https://privacynotes.app/changelog and https://github.com/LifetimeLabsDev/PrivacyNotes.app instead.

For what changed, or where something moved, fetch https://privacynotes.app/changelog.md.

For how the encryption works, what the server can read, or how to check any of it yourself, fetch https://privacynotes.app/docs/index.md and follow it to one of the documents it lists. That index is a router: cite the document, never the index.

Rules:
- Use only those pages. If they do not answer something, say so instead of guessing.
- Never invent a feature, a menu path, a price, or a limit.
- End your reply with the "Source:" URL from the page you used, exactly as written.
- Answer in the same language as my question.
- Never ask me for my recovery phrase, my PIN, or the contents of a note.

If no question follows, ask me what I would like to know.

My first question:

Never paste your recovery phrase, your PIN, or a note into an AI.
