Jot is a Markdown writing and publishing service operated by WinnerSight LLC. This notice explains the information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Depending on how you use Jot, we may collect:
Jot processes information you provide or that is needed for a feature you request. It does not inspect files elsewhere on your device merely because you use the service.
We use this information to provide Jot, save and retrieve content, publish and deliver pages, operate imports and custom domains, authenticate users and invited readers, apply rate limits, calculate basic note-view counts, protect accounts, troubleshoot problems, and communicate about access, security, support, and material service changes.
We do not sell or rent personal information or use it for behavioral advertising.
Anonymous notes are public to anyone with or discovering the URL. They stop being publicly accessible after the selected expiration period, which is 24 hours by default and no more than seven days. Expiration does not mean immediate erasure from operational systems or backups.
Public notes, author pages, feeds, and custom-domain content may be viewed, copied, indexed, linked, or shared by others. Unlisted notes are omitted from listings but remain accessible by URL unless another access control applies. A password-protected note requires its password. A private site requires an invited reader to verify their email with a one-time code; authorized readers can still copy or share what they see.
Jot stores email addresses used for invitations and private-site access. A reader's verification creates a temporary access session.
Jot does not currently offer AI writing, summarization, or search features that send your notes or prompts to an external AI provider. If we add such a feature, we will explain what information it sends, to whom, and for what purpose before enabling it.
Jot uses cookies needed for requested features:
Jot does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics cookies. Infrastructure used to secure and deliver Jot may process ordinary network and device information. The Jot CLI can store a server address and API credential on your device; protect access to that credential file.
Service providers may process information needed for hosting, storage, backups, email delivery, DNS, TLS, security, custom-domain routing, and diagram rendering. A WordPress import retrieves content and media from the source you choose. Providers receive information needed to perform their services and are not permitted to use it for their own advertising. Information may be processed in the United States and other locations where they operate.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information handled by Jot. Account access uses time-limited email codes; API credentials and protected-note passwords are not intentionally stored in plaintext. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Protect your account and avoid placing information in Jot that requires a specialized or regulated system.
Your content remains yours. Jot processes it to provide the service and publishing options you choose. Account holders can view and edit their notes, download an archive of notes and media, revoke API keys, and change supported publishing settings. Jot does not currently offer self-service account deletion.
You may contact us to request a copy of your information or content, correct profile information, delete your account and associated content, revoke credentials, or ask a privacy question. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request and will respond as required by applicable law.
We generally keep account information and content while an account remains active or until deletion is requested, subject to operational, security, and legal needs. Anonymous notes become inaccessible after their selected expiration period. When an account holder moves a note to Trash, it stops being public and can be restored for 30 days. You can also permanently delete a trashed note sooner. Trashed notes may remain in operational systems after the restore window until cleanup runs. Expired content, deleted content, and account information may be retained in operational systems and backups. Jot does not promise a fixed deletion time for those copies.
Authentication codes are short-lived. Cookies expire as described above. Security and activity records may be retained as needed for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, service operation, legal compliance, and dispute resolution.
Jot is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information through Jot.
We may update this notice as Jot or our practices change. We will update the dates on this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice of material changes.
