Privacy Policy

Float Notes Pro · Last updated: September 25, 2026 · Version 1.0

One-line summary Float Notes Pro collects no data at all. Your notes and settings stay on your Mac, inside the macOS App Sandbox. The App makes no network requests, has no account, and contains no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or other third-party SDKs.

1. Who we are

Float Notes Pro (hereinafter, "the App") is developed and operated by Ingeniería.dev, led by Chris Flores (hereinafter, "we", "the Developer").

2. What data we collect

None. Float Notes Pro was built with privacy by default. The App:

The App's App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected".

3. What is stored on your Mac

The App stores the following data locally, all of it confined to the macOS App Sandbox:

DataPurposeLocation
Your notes Remember what you wrote: title, text, color, pinned state, and creation/last-edit dates Mac (SwiftData store inside the app sandbox: ~/Library/Containers/dev.ingenieria.floatnotespro/Data/Library/Application Support/FloatNotesPro/)
Daily backups Protect your notes from accidental loss. At most one snapshot per day, only when you have notes; the 10 most recent are kept and older ones are removed automatically Mac (…/FloatNotesPro/Backups/ inside the same sandbox container)
App preferences Chosen pet, its size and on-screen position, animation and nap settings, panel size, close behavior, open-on-hover, keyboard shortcut on/off, font size, appearance, language, onboarding completion macOS UserDefaults (sandboxed)

This data is never sent to the Developer or to anyone else. If you delete the App, macOS removes its sandbox container, including your notes, backups, and preferences. Export any note you want to keep before uninstalling (see section 6).

4. External services

4.1 No network activity

Float Notes Pro makes no network requests. It calls no APIs, uses no analytics providers, joins no ad networks, has no crash reporter, and has no update service of its own. All app updates are distributed through the Mac App Store. The only time a web page opens is when you tap a link in the App (such as this Privacy Policy, Support, or the review page on the Mac App Store), and it opens in your own browser.

4.2 Apple and the Mac App Store

The $9.99 USD one-time purchase is processed exclusively by Apple through your Apple ID on the Mac App Store. The App contains no in-app purchases. Apple acts as the payment processor; we never have access to your payment card, billing address, or any payment data. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

5. System permissions

Float Notes Pro requests no macOS privacy permissions. It does not ask for Accessibility, Screen Recording, Input Monitoring, Automation, Full Disk Access, or any other protected resource.

CapabilityHow it worksData transmitted?
Global keyboard shortcut
(⌃⌥N)
Registered with the standard macOS hot-key API, which works inside the App Sandbox without Accessibility permission. The App is notified only when that exact combination is pressed — it never sees any other keystroke. You can turn it off in Settings. Never.
Click outside to close When the "click outside" close behavior is selected, the App listens for mouse clicks only while the notes panel is open, solely to know that a click happened outside the panel so it can collapse back into your pet. It does not record where or what you click, and it never observes keyboard input. Never.
Export as text When you export a note, macOS shows a standard Save dialog. The App writes a .txt file only to the location you choose, and has no access to any other file or folder. Never.

6. Exporting your notes

You can export any note as a plain-text .txt file at any time. The file is saved only where you choose in the macOS Save dialog. Once exported, that file is yours and is governed by wherever you store it; the App does not track it.

7. Marketing and advertising

The App displays no ads. We do not collect data for remarketing, profiling, or any promotional purpose. We do not participate in ad networks, and we do not sell or share information with third parties.

8. Purchase and in-app purchases

Float Notes Pro is a paid app on the Mac App Store: a one-time purchase of $9.99 USD. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no premium tiers. Payment processing is described in section 4.2 above.

9. Minors

The App is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including minors. Because the App requires no registration and collects no data, it complies with COPPA (US), LGPD (Brazil), and GDPR (EU) requirements regarding children by design.

10. User rights (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, LFPDPPP)

Even though we collect no data, the following rights are guaranteed by design:

For any questions about your rights, please email [email protected].

11. Security

The App runs inside the macOS App Sandbox with the Hardened Runtime, which restricts its access to only its own container and the files you explicitly choose when exporting. Local data is additionally protected by macOS disk encryption (FileVault, when enabled by you). Because nothing is transmitted, there is no data in transit to protect.

12. International transfers

We do not perform international transfers of personal data because we do not collect, receive, or store personal data on any server.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the App or to applicable law. The current version will always be published at this URL, along with the date of the last update. Material changes will also be announced in the Mac App Store release notes.

14. Governing law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the United Mexican States, in particular the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP). Any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts of Mexico City.
