Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 21, 2025
Overview
PhosphorLive is a video performance application that runs entirely on your Mac. Your privacy is important to us, and we have designed PhosphorLive to work without collecting, storing, or transmitting any personal data.
Data Collection
PhosphorLive does not collect any personal information. Specifically:
- No user accounts or registration required
- No analytics or tracking
- No crash reporting sent to external servers
- No cookies or identifiers
- No network requests to our servers
Local Data
PhosphorLive stores the following data locally on your Mac:
- Project files — your setlists, choreography, and effect settings are saved as JSON files wherever you choose
- Preferences — app settings (audio device, MIDI configuration, window positions) are stored in macOS UserDefaults
- Security-scoped bookmarks — file access permissions for your video files, managed by macOS sandboxing
This data never leaves your computer.
Camera & Microphone
PhosphorLive may request access to your camera and microphone for live overlay effects and audio-reactive features. Camera and audio data is processed locally in real-time and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted.
Network
PhosphorLive uses local network connections only for:
- OSC (Open Sound Control) — receiving control messages from other apps or devices on your local network
- Syphon — sharing video frames with other applications on the same Mac
No data is sent to external servers or the internet.
Third-Party Services
PhosphorLive does not integrate with any third-party services, advertising networks, or analytics platforms.
Children's Privacy
PhosphorLive does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes
If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update this page. Since PhosphorLive collects no data, significant changes are unlikely.
