Standard Notes is an end-to-end encrypted note-taking app that genuinely cannot read your notes; analytics are self-hosted via Plausible with no IP retention, apps collect zero usage data or location, and the subprocessor list is short and transparent — the main weaknesses are US jurisdiction and AWS hosting, the absence of published security audit reports, a thin policy that lacks GDPR rights language, and email marketing enabled by default.

Controls are reasonably accessible, but retention timelines are vague, Do Not Track is ignored, and the breadth of the ad-tech ecosystem is larger than you might expect from a subscription service.
