PyroMetal — Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 4, 2026

PyroMetal ("the app") is a real-time fire, smoke and explosion simulation
app for macOS. This Privacy Policy explains how the app handles your
information. In short: PyroMetal does not collect, store, or share any
personal data.

1. Data We Collect
We do not collect any personal data. PyroMetal has no user accounts, no
sign-in, and no analytics or tracking of any kind. We do not operate any
server that receives your data.

2. On-Device Processing
Everything you do in PyroMetal — building scenes, running simulations,
rendering, and exporting — happens entirely on your device using your
Mac's GPU. Your projects, imported files (such as 3D meshes, images, and
HDRI environments), and exported output are stored locally on your Mac and
are never uploaded to us or to any third party.

3. Files You Choose
When you import a file or choose an export location, macOS grants the app
access only to the specific files or folders you select. The app does not
scan, read, or access any other files on your Mac.

4. Purchases
PyroMetal offers a one-time in-app purchase to unlock exporting. All
purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or
receive your name, payment card, or any billing information. Apple's
handling of your purchase is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy
(https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/). To restore a previous purchase,
the app asks Apple (via StoreKit) whether your Apple Account owns the
purchase; this exchange is handled by Apple and does not share personal
data with us.

5. Analytics and Tracking
PyroMetal contains no advertising, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no
tracking technologies. We do not use cookies or device identifiers.
Apple may provide the developer with anonymous, aggregated App Store
statistics (such as download counts); this data is provided by Apple and
does not identify you.

6. Network Use
PyroMetal works fully offline. The only time the app may connect to the
internet is when you tap a link (for example, the Documentation link),
which opens in your web browser, or when Apple processes an in-app
purchase or restore. The app itself sends no data to us.

7. Children's Privacy
PyroMetal does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.
The app is rated suitable for all ages and contains no data collection.

8. Data Retention and Deletion
Because we do not collect any data, there is nothing for us to retain or
delete. Your projects and files remain on your Mac under your control; you
can delete them at any time, and removing the app deletes its local data.

9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be
posted on this page with a revised effective date.
