Your Paddle credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider. Our server calls Paddle and hands your Mac a normalised number, so the Mac app never holds the credential. Remove the integration and the encrypted key is deleted with it.

- Does the Notch Metrics Mac app hold my Paddle key?
- No. Our server calls Paddle and hands your Mac a normalised number. Your Paddle credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider, so a row copied anywhere else does not decrypt.
