Privacy Policy
Who we are
ArcGlyph is an independent VR application developed by a single creator based in Puerto Rico, USA. You can contact us at [email protected].
Data We Collect and Why
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Where Processed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device & Motion Sensors | Headset position, hand tracking | To render spells and interactions | On-device only |
| Audio Recordings (microphone) | Voice captured while the Recorder Spell is active | To create on-device .wav files so you can replay, export, or delete voice notes |
On-device only |
| Local Gameplay Content | Anchor positions, spell definitions, preferences | To preserve your custom setup between sessions | Stored in app sandbox |
| Support Communications | Email and message contents (only if you contact us) | To help us respond to your support requests | Our support inbox only |
Meta Horizon Platform Data
ArcGlyph uses platform features provided by the Meta Horizon ecosystem, including spatial anchors, passthrough rendering, hand tracking, and microphone access. These may involve processing the following:
- Meta Horizon User Data – such as anonymized session data, controller inputs, and permissions granted (e.g., microphone).
- Device User Data – including headset orientation, positional tracking, and hand gesture recognition.
This data is processed only on-device to enable core features like anchoring spells in space, detecting hand gestures, and recording audio spells. None of this data is transmitted or stored externally unless you explicitly choose to export or share it.
Deep Link Features
ArcGlyph supports deep links that allow specific in-app actions (like deleting a spell circle) to be triggered from URLs. These links include only app-generated IDs and do not contain any personal or device data. No information is sent to external servers during this process.
Third-Party Sharing (Optional)
ArcGlyph includes an optional sharing feature that allows users to generate short URLs using TinyURL. When you choose to share a spell circle or setup:
- Only the spell layout or configuration is sent (in compressed, encoded form).
- No personal information, account data, or headset details are shared.
- The data is sent to TinyURL's servers to create a shortened link.
These shared links are public and can be viewed by anyone with the link. Use of the sharing feature implies consent to send gameplay data to TinyURL under their own Privacy Policy.
What We Do Not Collect
ArcGlyph does not collect names, account identifiers, precise location, payment data, or usage analytics, and we never transmit microphone data off the headset. We do not share data with third parties, except when you explicitly use the sharing feature to generate a TinyURL.
How We Use Data
- To enable ArcGlyph’s core features (e.g. persistent spell circles).
- To let you record, replay, and optionally export audio clips with the Recorder Spell.
- To investigate and respond to user support emails.
Where Your Data Is Stored
All gameplay, sensor, and audio data are stored locally on your Meta Quest headset inside the app’s secure sandbox. Nothing is transmitted externally unless you choose to export an audio file.
Data Retention & Deletion
- In-app data remains until you delete it via the ArcGlyph reset option in settings or uninstall the app.
- Voice recordings stay on-device until you delete them in-app, remove them with a file-manager, or uninstall ArcGlyph.
- Support emails are deleted within 90 days of resolving your request.
- Anyone, anywhere may request access to or deletion of their data by emailing [email protected].
Security
Data is stored in the Meta Quest application sandbox and protected by operating-system-level permissions. ArcGlyph does not transmit or expose data to external systems.
Microphone Permission
When you first use the Recorder Spell, ArcGlyph requests the Meta Quest “Record Audio” permission. Recording begins only after you confirm it, and you may revoke the permission at any time in Quest → Settings → Permissions.
Children
ArcGlyph is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect or store data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app and submitted data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights
You have the right to access or request deletion of your personal data, regardless of where you live. Please contact [email protected] to make a request.
Our representative for EU data matters is Javier Gomez, reachable at the same email.
Changes to This Policy
We will update this policy when changes occur. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest version. Continued use of ArcGlyph after updates means you accept the revised terms.
