Privacy Policy — Chaoscope for Android

Last updated: May 2026

Summary

The Chaoscope app does not collect, store, or share any personal user data. All processing is performed locally on the user’s device. No third-party SDKs are used that track user behaviour.


Data collection

Chaoscope collects no data of any kind. Specifically:

Network access

The app declares no INTERNET permission. Android’s OS-level sandbox therefore blocks all outbound network traffic regardless of any code path. The app is incapable of sending data over a network.

Local storage

The only write operation performed by the app is PNG export: when the user explicitly taps the Export button, the rendered image is saved to the Pictures/Chaoscope/ folder on the user’s own device. No other files are written, and no data leaves the device.

Third-party SDKs

No third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or behavioural-tracking SDKs are included. The full dependency list consists exclusively of Android Jetpack / AndroidX libraries published by Google under the Apache 2.0 licence.

The splash screen contains two optional links that open outside the app:

Button Destination Data sent by the app
Buy me a coffee buymeacoffee.com/balancin None — opens system browser
Suggest or Criticize mailto:chaoscope@duck.com None — opens user’s email client

In both cases the app passes no data. Standard browser/email-client HTTP headers (IP address, User-Agent) may be exchanged — that is the responsibility of the respective system app, not Chaoscope.

Children’s privacy

Because no data is collected at all, there are no special risks for users of any age.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app introduces any form of data handling, this policy will be updated before that version is published, and the change will be clearly noted in the release notes.
