Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025
1. Overview
NotchOz ("the app") is a menu bar application for macOS. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our servers. Your settings and preferences are stored only on your Mac.
2. Data stored on your device
The app stores the following data locally on your Mac (using macOS UserDefaults and Keychain): language preference, selected widgets and their order, quick info note and todo list, and similar settings. Google Calendar authentication tokens are stored securely in the macOS Keychain. This data never leaves your device.
3. Third-party services
The app may connect to the following services to provide features. No personal data is sent by NotchOz beyond what is strictly necessary for each feature:
- Music: Spotify (if installed) — the app displays now-playing information via local Spotify APIs; no data is sent to us.
4. Google Calendar integration
If you choose to connect your Google Calendar, the app uses Google's OAuth 2.0 to authenticate your account. NotchOz requests read-only access to your calendar (calendar.readonly scope) to display upcoming events in the notch widget. Your calendar data is fetched directly from Google's servers to your Mac and is never stored, transmitted, or shared with us or any third party. You can disconnect your Google account at any time from the widget.
Google API Services User Data Policy: NotchOz's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
5. No analytics or tracking
NotchOz does not require an account (Google sign-in is optional, only for the Calendar widget). We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking.
