When you sign up for Technotes at technotesapp.com, you have to provide basic account details like a username, an email address, and a password.

When you add a note on Technotes, we record the note text along with the date and time it was posted. Also, if you edit a note you created, we keep a record of the changes.
Our servers maintain logs of every request made to our service. These logs are rotated every day and are kept for up to seven days according to our log rotation policy. This helps us check activity for safety reasons while not storing data for too long.
We use the data we collect from you to provide the core functionality of Technotes. You must be logged in to post and interact with notes, which makes sure that only authenticated users can use the platform. We also review technical details to help us moderate the community and detect misuse, such as ban evasion.
