2. Principle: Local data storage

All notebook content is stored exclusively on your device (Apple® SwiftData). No personal content is transmitted to the publisher's servers or to third parties. The app works fully offline.

The following data is stored locally on your device:

• Notebooks (title, cover colour, folder assignment, creation date)
• Notebook pages including handwriting, text boxes, images, shapes and PDF backgrounds
• Page backgrounds (lined, grid etc.) and margin settings
• Tool settings (last used stroke widths per tool)
• Folder structure for notebooks

3. Camera and photo library access

The app optionally requires access to the camera (to capture photos directly into notebook pages) and the photo library (to insert existing images). Captured or selected photos are only embedded in the current notebook and do not leave your device without your action.

4. Cloud connections (optional)

NiblyNotes offers the option to connect to educational cloud providers to import, export files or to create backups. A connection is only established when you actively log in to a provider. Supported are:

• BayernCloud Schule (ByCS) — a service of the Free State of Bavaria. Login is handled via the official ByCS sign-in procedure.
• Nextcloud — open-source cloud. Login via the official login flow v2 with app password.
• NetMan for Schools (H+H Software) — version 6 or later, REST interface with username/password authentication.

Credentials are stored exclusively in the iOS® Keychain of your device and do not leave your device. When sending, opening or backing up to a cloud, only the file you selected is transmitted to the server you configured. The app does not communicate with any third-party services.

5. Shared notebooks (iCloud® synchronisation)

The "shared notebooks" feature lets you share a notebook with other people who can view or edit it simultaneously. This uses Apple®'s iCloud® system exclusively (CloudKit):

• Synchronised notebook data is stored in your personal iCloud® and shared via Apple's infrastructure with the devices you invite.
• The publisher of the app has no access to shared notebook content.
• All participants need an Apple® account to share and join.
• When you end a share, a local copy of the notebook remains with every participant.
• Every participant decides via a "Publish" button when local changes are transmitted.
• A share can be granted as "Read only" or "Edit"; you can change the permission at any time.

6. Own file formats

NiblyNotes uses two custom file formats for export and exchange:

• .nibly — complete notebook with all pages
• .niblypg — single page for targeted exchange

When sending these files via AirDrop®, email or cloud upload, only the content of the selected notebooks or pages is transmitted.

7. Backup

The app offers an optional backup function to automatically back up your notebooks to one of the cloud solutions mentioned in section 4. The backup function only runs against the cloud provider you set up — never against the publisher's servers.

8. Tracking, analytics, advertising

No analytics services, no advertising and no tracking SDKs are used. The app does not connect to any external push notification service and does not transmit usage data to the publisher.

9. Data transmission to publisher servers

There is no transmission of personal content, notebook data, usage data or telemetry to PC-Future GmbH servers.

10. Your rights (Art. 15 ff. GDPR)

Since no personal data is transmitted to us, we cannot provide information about notebook content itself. For your cloud providers and Apple® services, the respective privacy policies of the providers apply.

• Apple® (iCloud®, CloudKit, App Store®): apple.com/legal/privacy
• BayernCloud Schule: information at bycs.de
