Privacy Policy

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The following information is stored exclusively on your local device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party:

• App preferences and settings (theme, layout, feature toggles)
• Calendar data displayed in the notch (sourced from your local macOS Calendar)
• Music playback data (sourced from your local media applications)
• Battery status information (sourced from macOS system APIs)
• Files placed on the file shelf (stored temporarily in local memory)
• Camera mirror data (processed locally, never recorded or stored)
• Character animation states and preferences

2.2 Information Processed by Third Parties

AI Chat Feature: When you use Nochi's AI chat feature, the text of your questions and prompts is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for processing. This is the only feature in Nochi that transmits any user-generated content off your device. Specifically:

• Your chat messages are sent to Anthropic (Claude) to generate responses.
• Anthropic processes these messages in accordance with their own privacy policy. You can review Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy.
• We do not store, log, or retain your AI chat messages on our servers.
• Chat history may be stored locally on your device but is never synced to any external server.

2.3 Payment Information

When you purchase a subscription or lifetime license for Nochi, your payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not collect, store, or have access to your full credit card number, debit card number, or bank account information. We receive from Stripe only:

• A confirmation of your payment status
• Your email address (for license delivery and account management)
• A Stripe customer ID (for managing subscriptions and processing refunds)
• Transaction amounts and dates

For more information about Stripe's privacy practices, visit stripe.com/privacy.

2.4 Analytics and Diagnostics

We may collect anonymized, aggregated usage data to improve the App. This data does not identify you personally and may include:

• App version and macOS version
• General feature usage frequency (e.g., which features are used most)
• Crash reports and error logs

You may opt out of analytics data collection in the App's settings.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You may request information about the personal data we hold about you.
• Deletion: You may request that we delete personal data we hold about you. Because most data is stored locally, uninstalling Nochi will delete the majority of your data.
• Opt-Out of Analytics: You may disable anonymized analytics collection in the App's settings.
• AI Chat: You may choose not to use the AI chat feature, in which case no data will be sent to Anthropic.
• Manage Payments: You may manage your subscription or request a refund through the methods described in our Terms of Service.
