Peg · Effective date: 25 October 2026

Peg is a notes app. It keeps your notes on your device. It has no account, no analytics and no adverts. Peg does not send your notes to us or to anyone else.

The rest of this page says the same thing in more detail.

Who makes Peg

On this page, "we" and "us" mean Code Suma.

What Peg keeps on your device

• Your notes, with the day each was made and last changed.
• The tags you give your notes. In the apps, a tag's name stays in Peg's database after no note has it any more. Peg does not show it.
• A note you are still writing, until Peg has stored it.
• Indexes of your notes, so search can find them. In the Windows and Android apps, these include numbers that stand for what each note means.
• Your choices: the theme, the font and the width of the panels. On Android, also whether you put away the offer of smart search.
• A few markers for Peg itself. In the apps, Peg remembers that it added the welcome note. On the website, it remembers which notes came from the website, so it can update the ones you have not changed.
• On Android, once you turn on smart search, the 119 MB model file.

In the apps for Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad and Mac, all of this stays in the app's own folder on your device. The notes are in a database file, and the rest is in the app's own web storage. On pegnotes.app, it is your browser's storage for that website. On Android, iPhone and iPad, other apps cannot read it. On Windows, as with any desktop app, other programs you run can read it.

What Peg does not do

• It has no account and no sign-in.
• It does not upload your notes, to us or to anyone else. There is no server of ours that holds them.
• It contains no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. It does not track you across other apps or websites.
• It does not send your notes to an AI service. Peg suggests tags on your device. On Windows and Android, it also finds related notes there.
• It does not use your location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos.
• We do not sell or share your data. We never receive it.

Pictures from the web

A note can show a picture from a web address, written as ![words](address). Peg then loads that picture from its website, as a browser does. That website sees your device's internet address and the picture's address. It also sees what a browser normally sends, such as the kind of device and its system version. It does not see the rest of your note.

Peg loads the picture each time it shows the note. While you change a picture's address, Peg may also load the address as you have typed it so far.

Smart search on Android

On most Android phones, smart search finds notes by their meaning. It needs a model file of 119 MB. Peg downloads it only when you tap "Turn on smart search". The file comes from models.pegnotes.app, which Cloudflare serves for us. The download sends nothing from your notes. Like any web server, Cloudflare sees your device's internet address while it sends the file.

On Windows, the model comes with the app, so nothing is downloaded.

The website

pegnotes.app is Peg itself, running in your browser. What you write there stays in that browser. Cloudflare hosts the website for us, and handles your internet address to send you its pages. The website sets no cookies of its own, and it has no analytics and no adverts.

Your device's own backups

Phones and computers make backups of their own, such as iCloud Backup or Google's backup of Android apps. These may include what Peg keeps on the device. Whoever keeps the backup keeps it under their own terms. We never see these backups.

Deleting your notes

• To delete one note, open it and tap the trash. For a few seconds, Undo can bring it back.
• On Windows, uninstall Peg and tick "Delete the application data". Without the tick, your notes stay on the PC, and they come back if you install Peg again.
• On a Mac, deleting Peg leaves your notes on the Mac. To delete them too, open your home folder, then Library, then Containers, and delete Peg's folder, dev.codesuma.peg.
• On Android, iPhone and iPad, uninstall Peg. Your phone's own backup, such as Google's backup of Android apps or iCloud Backup, may still hold your notes. Android can bring them back when you install Peg again.
• On the website, clear the site's data for pegnotes.app in your browser.

Copies in your device's own backups stay until those backups are deleted.

We hold nothing about you, so there is nothing to ask us to delete. The one exception is an email you send us.

If you write to us

If you email us, we receive your email address and what you write. We use it only to answer you. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not share your email with anyone.

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the emails you sent us. You can also complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Statistics from the app stores

Apple and Google give every app maker some statistics about their app, such as how many people installed it. If you chose to share analytics with app developers, they may also send us crash reports. These come from Apple or Google, not from Peg. They do not include your notes.

Children

Peg collects no personal information from anyone, and that includes children.

Changes to this policy

If Peg starts to keep or send anything new, this policy changes first. The new version appears on this page, with a new effective date at the top.
