Music Integration Data

Used only to display current track information in the NotchFlow interface. This data is processed locally and never transmitted to our servers.

License Information

Used to validate your purchase and ensure you have access to NotchFlow features. Processed securely through Lemon Squeezy.

Usage Analytics

Used to understand how NotchFlow is used, identify popular features, and improve app performance. All analytics are anonymous and cannot be traced back to individual users.

Limited Third-Party Interactions

• Lemon Squeezy: Handles payment processing and license validation. They have their own privacy policy governing transaction data.
• Apple Music/Spotify: We only read currently playing track information through official APIs. We don't send any data to these services.
• macOS System APIs: We interact with system APIs for screen detection and notifications, but no data leaves your Mac.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a valid court order or legal process.

Local Storage Security

All your preferences and settings are stored locally on your Mac using macOS's secure storage mechanisms. This data is protected by your Mac's security features and user account permissions.

Network Communications

When NotchFlow communicates with external services (like license validation), all connections use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS).

App Sandboxing

NotchFlow follows Apple's sandboxing guidelines, limiting the app's access to only necessary system resources and preventing unauthorized data access.

Data Control

• Access: All your data is stored locally and accessible through the app's settings
• Modification: You can change any preferences or settings at any time
• Deletion: You can reset all settings or uninstall the app to remove all data

Analytics Opt-Out

You can disable anonymous usage analytics in NotchFlow's preferences. This will not affect app functionality.

Music Service Integration

You can disconnect music services at any time through the app's settings. NotchFlow will continue to work without music integration.

GDPR Rights (EU Users)

If you're in the EU, you have additional rights including data portability and the right to be forgotten. Since we collect minimal data stored locally, most of these rights are automatically fulfilled.
