Pathfinder Sketch — Privacy Policy

Audio Tech Hub · Effective August 12, 2026

The short version: Sketch has no accounts, collects no personal information, and your music sessions never leave your local network. The app sends anonymous usage statistics to help us improve it, and you can turn that off inside the app at any time.

Your sessions stay local

Pathfinder Sketch connects to the Pathfinder plugin on your computer over your own Wi-Fi network. Everything musical — the sounds you trigger, the paths you draw, the audio you monitor — travels directly between your phone and your computer. None of it is sent to us or to any server on the internet.

What we collect (anonymous usage statistics)

To understand how the app is used and to catch problems, Sketch sends a small number of anonymous events to a server we operate:

Usage events — for example: the app was opened, the demo was started, a session was joined, the purchase screen was shown.
Diagnostics — for example: a session token was rejected, an audio stream had dropouts.
Device context — app version, iOS version, and device model (like iPhone15,3).
Approximate region — when an event arrives, we derive a coarse location (country/city level) from the network address, then discard the address itself. We never collect or store your IP address or precise location.

These events are tied to a random identifier created on your device. It is not linked to your name, email, Apple ID, phone number, or any other personal information — we couldn't identify you from it if we tried.

Opting out

Open the unlock screen in the app and switch off "Share anonymous usage stats." That stops all statistics immediately. The app works identically either way.

Purchases

The Pro unlock is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. The app checks your purchase with Apple's StoreKit system on your device.

What we don't do

No accounts, sign-ups, emails, or passwords.
No advertising, no ad identifiers, no tracking across apps or websites.
No selling or sharing of data with third parties.
No microphone or photo access. The camera is used only while you scan a pairing QR code, and the image never leaves your device.

Data retention & deletion

Anonymous usage events are kept for up to 24 months and then deleted. Because events aren't linked to you, there is nothing we could look up by name or email — but if you want the events from your device removed, email us the random identifier shown in the app's diagnostics and we'll delete them.

Children

Sketch is not directed at children under 13 and collects the same nothing-personal from everyone.

Changes & contact
