Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12/3/2025

Introduction

At lost end found Ltd, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how Obsidian Floating Notes ("the App") handles your data.

Data Collection and Use

Obsidian Floating Notes is designed with privacy as a core principle. The App operates entirely on your local device and does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers.

Local Data Access

The App only accesses the following data on your local device:

  • Obsidian Configuration: Reads your Obsidian configuration to detect available vaults
  • Vault Files: Accesses markdown files in your Obsidian vaults for reading and editing
  • App Settings: Stores user preferences locally on your device

No Data Collection

We do NOT collect:

  • Personal information or identifiers
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Note content or metadata
  • App usage patterns
  • Crash reports or diagnostics

Data Storage and Security

All data processed by Obsidian Floating Notes remains on your local device:

  • Local Processing: All note editing and searching happens locally
  • No Cloud Storage: We do not store your notes or any data in the cloud
  • Sandbox Security: The App runs in a macOS sandbox for enhanced security
  • File System Access: Only accesses files you explicitly authorize

Permissions

The App requests the following permissions with your explicit consent:

  • File System Access: To read and write files in your Obsidian vaults
  • Obsidian Configuration Access: To detect and connect to your vaults

Third-Party Services

Obsidian Floating Notes does not integrate with any third-party services that collect or process your data.

Data Retention

Since all data is stored locally on your device, data retention is entirely under your control. The App does not retain any data beyond what is necessary for its operation on your device.

Your Rights

Because the App operates entirely locally and does not collect personal data:

  • You have complete control over your data
  • You can revoke file access permissions at any time through macOS System Preferences
  • You can delete the App and all its data by removing it from your Applications folder

Children's Privacy

Obsidian Floating Notes does not collect any personal information, making it compliant with children's privacy protection regulations by design.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Since the App does not collect data, significant changes to our privacy practices are unlikely.
