Terms of Service
Last Updated: July 9, 2026
Acceptance of Terms
By installing or using the Floating Notes browser extension ("Extension") or accessing our website at floatingnotes.app ("Website"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services.
Description of Service
Floating Notes is a browser extension that allows you to create and manage personal notes directly in your browser. Key characteristics:
- Core note-taking works locally in your browser without an account
- Optional Pro features may include account access, billing, Google Drive sync, advanced targeting, import/export, and related safety features
- Google Drive sync stores synced notes in your own Google Drive folder; browser storage is used as a local hot cache
- Some features are free and some features require a paid plan
User Responsibilities
When using Floating Notes, you agree to:
- Use the Extension only for lawful purposes
- Not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Extension
- Not redistribute, sell, or create derivative works based on the Extension
- Maintain access to your Google account and Drive files if you enable Google Drive sync
- Export or keep copies of important notes when appropriate
Paid Plans
Floating Notes may offer paid Pro plans. Payments are handled by our payment provider; Google is not the seller of Pro plans. Subscription status, cancellation, refund handling, and customer portal access may depend on the payment provider's systems and policies shown at checkout.
If your subscription ends, paid editing or sync features may be limited, but we aim to avoid destructive data loss. Local mode and export remain important data-control paths.
Intellectual Property
The Floating Notes Extension, including its code, design, and branding, is the proprietary property of Floating Notes and is protected by copyright law. All rights reserved.
Your notes and content remain yours. We do not claim any ownership or rights to the content you create using the Extension.
Data and Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy for information about how we handle data.
Important: Local-only notes and local cache are controlled by your browser. Uninstalling the Extension or clearing browser data may delete local notes and cache. If Google Drive sync is enabled, synced note files are controlled through your Google Drive account.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE EXTENSION AND WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL FLOATING NOTES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE EXTENSION OR WEBSITE.
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Third-Party Services
The Extension operates within browsers provided by third parties (such as Google Chrome). Optional features may use Google Sign-In, Google Drive, and a payment provider. Your use of those services is subject to their terms. See Google Drive Sync and Data Controls for more detail about Drive sync.
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Extension after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
