Plume by Vigu Labs
Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 5, 2026. Updated for Plume 1.1. App package: app.plume.notes.
Short version
Plume collects no personal data. Notes live on the user's device. There are no Vigu Labs accounts, ads, analytics, trackers, or Vigu Labs cloud sync. Newer features such as reminders, widget snapshots, share-to-Plume, PIN lock, Today filter, and automatic local backups also stay on the device.
1. Information we collect
None. Plume does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal information. Vigu Labs has no Plume notes server and no backend that receives user notes.
Plume does not ask for a name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, or a Vigu Labs account. The app contains no advertising SDK and no analytics SDK.
2. Where notes are stored
Notes, checklists, tags, colors, reminders, PIN lock settings, Today filter state, widget snapshots, and app settings are stored locally on the user's device in the app's private storage. They are not uploaded to Vigu Labs or to a third-party notes service.
If the user uninstalls Plume or clears app data, local information can be permanently removed from that device. Users should export a backup before clearing data or moving devices.
3. Local backups, export, and import
Plume can create automatic on-device backup snapshots so a local restore prompt is possible if app storage becomes unavailable or corrupt. These snapshots stay on the user's device.
Manual Export creates a user-controlled backup file. Manual Import reads a backup file selected by the user and can replace the current local notes. Vigu Labs does not receive exported or imported files.
4. Device permissions and Android features
Notifications are used only for optional note reminders created by the user. Reminder content is scheduled locally on the device.
The Android home screen widget shows Plume content selected from local app data. Widget content may be visible on the device home screen according to the user's device settings.
Android share integration lets the user send text from another app into Plume. Shared text is saved locally as Plume content only after the user chooses that action.
Billing is used only if the user chooses the optional one-time Plume Pro purchase. Payment processing is handled by Google Play Billing. Vigu Labs does not receive or store payment card details.
5. Note lock
Plume includes an optional PIN note lock. This is a local view gate intended to reduce casual on-device access. It is not end-to-end encryption and does not send PIN data to Vigu Labs.
6. Purchases
Plume Pro is an optional, one-time in-app purchase. The purchase is processed by Google Play under Google's terms and privacy policy. Plume stores only the entitlement state needed to unlock Pro features.
7. Data sharing and third parties
Vigu Labs does not share Plume user data because Plume does not collect Plume user data. Google Play may process information related to app installation, updates, and optional purchases under Google's own policies.
8. User control
Users can export their Plume notes to a backup file they control, import a backup on another device, delete individual notes, clear trash, or remove all app data by clearing storage or uninstalling the app.
9. Children's privacy
Plume does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
10. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, Vigu Labs will update this page and revise the effective date.
