Help & FAQ/Your data

Why did notes disappear from my trash?

Ask your AI agent instead

Trash is not an archive: by default, anything in it is permanently deleted after 30 days. The switch sits in the Trash view itself, labeled "Auto-delete after 30 days" - turn it off there if you want trash kept forever, and the setting syncs to all your devices. The cleanup runs on your device when the app opens, because the server cannot see which encrypted notes are trashed.

Permanently deleted means gone: no server copy and no recovery path. If you use trash as a someday-maybe pile, disable auto-delete or restore notes before day 30. Until then, trashed notes still count toward your storage - "Empty" in the same view frees that space immediately.

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.
