Privacy Policy — StickyDocs

Last updated: May 24, 2026

Overview

StickyDocs ("the app") is a macOS application that mirrors on-screen sticky notes to Google Docs in your own Google Drive. This policy explains what data the app accesses, how it is used, and how you can remove it.

Data We Collect

Baleware does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data to its own servers. StickyDocs has no backend, no analytics, no advertising, and no user accounts. All communication takes place directly between your Mac and Google's APIs.

Google Account Data the App Accesses

When you sign in with Google, the app requests the following scopes:

• Basic profile information (your name and email address) — to display which Google account is currently signed in.
• Google Drive — per-file access (drive.file scope) — to create a single Stickies/ folder in your Drive, to create one Google Doc per sticky note, and to locate Docs the app itself previously created (using an appProperties tag the app sets). With this scope, StickyDocs cannot see, list, read, or modify any Drive file that it did not itself create.
• Google Docs (documents scope) — to read and write the body of the Docs created by the app, in order to keep each sticky note's text in sync with its matching Doc.

StickyDocs does not access your other Drive files, Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, or any other Google service.

How the Data Is Used

The data accessed via the scopes above is used solely to provide the core function of the app: mirroring the text of your sticky notes to Google Docs you own, and restoring those notes on other Macs signed into the same Google account.

Your sticky content and Google account data are not used for advertising, are not sold or rented to third parties, and are not used to train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models, whether by Baleware or anyone else.

Limited Use Disclosure

StickyDocs' use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Where Data Is Stored

• On your Mac — sticky content and metadata are stored in a local SQLite database inside the app's sandbox container (~/Library/Containers/com.baleware.StickyDocs).
• In your Google Drive — one Google Doc per sticky, in a folder named Stickies/ at the root of your Drive. These files are owned by you.
• In the macOS Keychain — OAuth access and refresh tokens for your Google account.

No StickyDocs-operated server receives, stores, or processes any of this data.

Network Connections

The app connects to the following Google endpoints:

• accounts.google.com and oauth2.googleapis.com — to sign in and refresh access tokens.
• www.googleapis.com (Drive API) — to create and look up the Stickies/ folder and per-sticky Docs.
• docs.googleapis.com — to read and write the body of those Docs.

Third-Party Services

The app uses only Google's own APIs (Drive, Docs, and OAuth). Google's handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Deletion and Revocation

You are in control of your data at all times.

• Remove local data: in the app's Debug menu choose "Reset All Local Data," or delete the app's container folder at ~/Library/Containers/com.baleware.StickyDocs.
• Delete Drive content: move the Stickies/ folder in your Google Drive to the trash.
• Revoke the app's access to your Google account: visit myaccount.google.com/permissions and remove StickyDocs.
• Deletion requests or questions: email [email protected].

Children's Privacy

StickyDocs is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from children.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
