Privacy Policy

PanSphere is provided by Borealbit Technology Limited (“Borealbit,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy describes the PanSphere iOS app and this companion website.

Summary

PanSphere is local-first. The app does not require an account, does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, and does not send your playing sessions or preferences to Borealbit servers.

Information stored on your device

To provide its features, PanSphere stores onboarding and interface preferences; selected scales, scenes, ambience, and haptics settings; session history, playing duration, note counts, and streak progress; and cached App Store entitlement status.

PanSphere does not record microphone audio or create audio recordings of your performances. The current release does not offer MIDI, session-file, or audio export.

Information we do not collect through the app

The current app does not send Borealbit your playing sessions, note events, streaks, preferences, microphone, camera, location, motion, contacts, health information, advertising identifiers, or cross-app tracking data.

PanSphere does not request microphone, camera, location, motion, notification, contacts, or health permissions for its current features. Audio playback and optional haptic feedback use standard iOS capabilities and do not grant us access to your content.

Purchases and Apple services

PanSphere uses Apple StoreKit to display products, process optional purchases, restore purchases, and determine entitlement status. Apple processes payment credentials and transaction information under Apple's own terms and privacy policy. Borealbit does not receive your full payment-card details through the app.

Network access may be used for App Store product, purchase, restore, update, and support operations. The core instrument and locally stored session history do not require a Borealbit account or Borealbit server.

Cloud sync and device backups

PanSphere does not provide app-managed CloudKit or automatic iCloud synchronization for session history or preferences. Apple device backups, if enabled by you, are controlled by iOS and your Apple account settings.

You can clear session history within the app. Deleting PanSphere removes its active local app storage from the device, subject to any device backups managed by Apple.

Companion website

This website does not use advertising networks or a product analytics SDK. Requests are delivered through Cloudflare, which may process ordinary network and security information such as IP address, request headers, timestamps, and diagnostic logs to operate and protect the service under Cloudflare's own privacy terms.

The website does not provide a PanSphere account or receive your in-app session history. If you contact us by email, we receive the address and content you choose to send and use it to respond.

Data sharing and sale

We do not sell personal information. Service providers may process limited information only as needed to provide Apple purchase services, website delivery, security, or email support.

Children

PanSphere is a general-audience musical instrument. It does not knowingly collect account profiles or in-app playing history from children. Contact us if you believe a child has sent personal information to our support email.

Security and retention

Local app information is protected by your device and operating system. Information sent by email or processed in website infrastructure is retained only as reasonably needed for support, security, legal, and operational purposes. No system can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when PanSphere's behavior or legal requirements change. We will update the date above and, when appropriate, provide additional notice. Future features are not treated as current behavior until the product and policy are actually updated.
