8. End-to-End Encryption and Data Recovery
8.1 Encryption Overview
Better Keep Notes uses end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default to protect your notes when syncing to the cloud. This encryption is mandatory and cannot be disabled. Your notes are encrypted on your device before being transmitted to our servers. We do not have access to your encryption keys, PIN, or recovery key.
8.2 Your Responsibility for Encryption Credentials
When using cloud sync, you are solely responsible for:
- Remembering your encryption PIN or password
- Safely storing your recovery key in a secure location
- Understanding that these credentials cannot be reset or recovered by us
Critical Warning: If you forget your encryption PIN and lose your recovery key, your encrypted notes will be permanently inaccessible and unrecoverable. Foxbiz Software Pvt. Ltd. cannot decrypt, recover, or reset your encryption credentials under any circumstances. This is by design to ensure only you can access your encrypted data.
8.3 No Liability for Encryption-Related Data Loss

- Failure to properly back up your recovery key
