Privacy Policy

NotchPit is a native macOS app plus this website. This page describes exactly what each part collects, why, and who else sees it. Where a feature works without sending data off your Mac, it does.

What stays on your Mac

Quick notes, saved links, shelf files, reading progress, focus-timer state, extension order and every appearance setting are stored locally on your Mac. They are not uploaded to NotchPit and we cannot read them.

Calendar events and media playback details are read live from macOS through the permissions you grant, shown in the notch, and never transmitted.

What the website collects when you buy

To issue a license key we record: your email address, your name and phone number if you supply them, the toyyibPay bill code or Polar checkout ID, an internal order reference, the plan name, the amount, payment status, and the created and paid timestamps.

License records themselves store a SHA-256 hash of your key rather than the key itself, so the stored value cannot be turned back into a working license.

This order data is held in Google Firestore. We keep it for as long as the license is valid, because it is what lets us re-send a lost key and honour support requests.

Trial reminder emails (optional)

During your free trial you can ask NotchPit to email you before the trial ends. Only if you opt in, we store your email address, a random ID for your Mac and the date your trial ends.

We send at most two emails (one two days before the trial ends and one when it ends) and none if you buy a license. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.

This data is held in Google Firestore and is used for nothing else. Email support@notchpit.com to have it deleted.

What we never receive

Card numbers, bank credentials and one-time passwords are entered on toyyibPay (Malaysia) or Polar (other countries) and never reach NotchPit servers or this website. We only receive the bill code or checkout ID and a paid/unpaid status.

Third-party services

toyyibPay: payment processing in Malaysia. Receives your payment details and the billing information you enter on their page.

Polar (polar.sh): merchant of record for purchases outside Malaysia. Sells the license as reseller, handles payment and sales tax, and receives your email, payment details and billing country.

Resend: transactional email. Receives your email address to deliver your license key, and trial reminders if you opted in.

Google Firestore: order and license storage.

Cloudflare Pages: website hosting. Processes standard request logs including IP address for security and abuse prevention.

Prayer times: solat.my in Malaysia, the official MUIS timetable in Singapore, and AlAdhan elsewhere. The relevant provider receives your selected location when you enable the prayer extension.

Weather, book search and football fixture providers: called only when you enable those extensions.

Location

Location is used only if you turn on a current-location feature. You can instead pick a saved location by name, in which case macOS location services are never queried. Location is sent to the relevant provider to return results and is not stored by NotchPit.

Analytics and tracking

With your permission, this website uses Google Analytics and Meta to measure visits and ad conversions. These services may set cookies and receive your IP address, browser details, pages visited and events such as downloads and purchases, including purchase amounts. For confirmed purchases made with tracking enabled, the server may send Meta a SHA-256 hash of your email address to match the conversion. Your name and phone number are not included in these events. Choose Allow or Decline, and change your choice with Privacy choices at any time. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control disable website tracking. The interactive preview runs in your browser.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the order data associated with your email address, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Deleting your order record also invalidates the license attached to it, so we will confirm before acting.
