Brow Notch
Privacy Policy
This policy explains how the Brow Notch app ("Brow", "the app") made by Monarch Group ATL LLC ("we", "us") handles your information.
What we collect
Nothing. We don't collect, receive, store, sell or share any personal data. Brow doesn't track you within the app or across other apps and websites, and it contains no third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting code.
What Brow keeps on your Mac
To work, Brow saves the following only on your Mac, inside its own private app container. None of it is sent anywhere.
- Clipboard history — text, links and images you copy. Brow doesn't save items that apps mark as concealed or that come from password managers. You can delete any item or clear the whole history at any time, and set how many items and how many days Brow keeps.
- Business cards — the details you type into your cards.
- Tote and Screenshots — links (macOS security bookmarks) to the files you drop in the tote and to screenshots in the folder you choose. Brow keeps links, not copies, and small preview images.
- Settings — your preferences, section order, shortcut and translator languages.
Deleting Brow and its data removes all of this. See how to remove Brow completely.
Permissions Brow asks for
macOS asks you before Brow can use any of these. Each one is optional; without it, only the matching section stops working.
- Calendar — to show your upcoming events and their online meeting links. Brow only reads events and never changes them.
- Control of Music and Spotify — to show the current track and to pause or skip when you click. Brow can't change your music library. Spotify only provides album art as a web address; since Brow doesn't use the internet, it shows the Spotify icon instead.
- Folders you choose — your screenshots folder and, if you like, a music folder. Brow sees only the folders you pick.
- Screen translation — uses the standard macOS screen-sharing picker. Brow sees only the window or screen you pick, reads its text once on your Mac, and doesn't save or send the image.
Translation
Text and screen translation use Apple's built-in translation in macOS, which runs on your Mac. If a language isn't installed yet, macOS may offer to download it from Apple; that download is handled by macOS under Apple's Privacy Policy, not by Brow.
Purchases
Brow is sold through the Mac App Store. Apple handles payment and gives us only anonymous, aggregated sales reports. We never see your name, Apple Account or payment details.
Children
Brow collects no data from anyone, including children.
This website
brownotch.com has no cookies, analytics or trackers. Like any website, our hosting provider may keep standard technical server logs (such as IP addresses) for security and operations.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update it on this page and change the date above. If Brow ever started collecting data, we would say so here and in the App Store before it happened.
