Privacy Policy for zet
Last updated: July 5, 2026
Developer: Software Smyth
App: zet (com.softwaresmyth.zet)
Contact: Use the support email listed on the Google Play store listing.
Overview
zet is a note-capture app with a home-screen widget. Notes are stored on your device and can be pushed to a git repository you configure (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or another Git HTTP remote). zet does not operate developer-controlled servers and does not collect analytics.
Data stored on your device
| Data | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Note text and metadata | Local drafts and history before/after sync | App-private SQLite database |
| Repository URL and folder path | Know where to push notes | Android SharedPreferences |
| Filename pattern | Name new note files on push | Android SharedPreferences |
| API token | Authenticate to your git host | Android EncryptedSharedPreferences |
| Local retention setting | Optional auto-purge of old local notes | Android SharedPreferences |
Data transmitted
When you save or sync a note, zet sends data only to the repository URL you configured:
- Note content (as a markdown file in your chosen folder)
- API token (in HTTP headers for authentication to your git host)
zet does not send data to Software Smyth or any other third party except the git host you select.
Data not collected
- No accounts with the developer
- No advertising identifiers
- No crash or usage analytics to developer servers
- No sale or sharing of personal data for marketing
Permissions
zet requests Internet access solely to communicate with your configured git remote.
HTTP vs HTTPS
You may enter http:// or https:// repository URLs. HTTPS is recommended. Cleartext HTTP is permitted so self-hosted remotes without TLS can be used at your own risk.
Backups
Automatic Android backup is disabled for zet so encrypted credentials and configuration are not copied to cloud backup services. Notes remain in app-private storage until you push them or delete them locally.
Data retention and deletion
- Local notes: You can set a retention period in Settings to delete old notes from this device. This does not delete copies already pushed to your remote repository.
- Remote copies: Managed by you on your git host.
- Uninstall: Removing the app deletes all local zet data from the device.
Children
zet is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because zet stores data locally and on your git host, you can delete local data by uninstalling or using retention settings, and manage remote data through your git provider.
