Spinodal · Mind Bending Pixels
Privacy
Effective November 7, 2026.
This policy describes Spinodal 1.0 for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. The native app runs its wax simulation on your device. You do not need a Spinodal account.
The lamp stays on your device
The native Spinodal app collects no data. It does not send microphone audio, camera images, motion readings or generated captures to Mind Bending Pixels. It contains no advertising or analytics SDK. Optional App Store purchases use Apple’s services, and links you open leave the app for a website.
Microphone, camera and motion
You choose whether to enable the available sensor controls. Microphone and camera access require permission. Audio, images and motion readings are processed locally to influence the lamp. The app does not make audio or camera-video recordings. Input buffers are used temporarily for analysis; camera motion detection compares successive low-resolution frames.
You can stop listening or disable an input in the app, and manage permissions in device settings. Denying permission leaves the lamp usable without that input. Apple TV has no microphone or camera mode in this release.
Local settings
Preferences, tool strengths, selected colors, onboarding choices, demo start and cooldown timestamps, and purchase-confirmation markers used to avoid repeating the welcome can be stored locally. The current app uses live room input; it does not record a room-activity history or upload sensor readings.
Local data from an older experimental version may remain after an update until that app data is removed. Device and operating-system backup settings may also affect local app data. Removing local app data does not cancel an App Store purchase or delete media already saved in Photos.
Performance reports
Record performance captures up to 60 seconds of timing and device status on your device. Nothing is sent. Copy performance report puts that text on your clipboard; it leaves your device only if you paste it into a message you choose to send.
Live Photos on iPhone and iPad
Studio lets you create a silent Live Photo of the generated lamp. It records the simulation, not camera footage or microphone audio. Preparation and preview use temporary on-device files.
Nothing is added to your library until you choose Save to Photos and grant Photos add-only permission. Spinodal does not read your photo library or change your wallpaper. Saved media is managed in Photos and may sync through Apple’s services according to your Photos and iCloud settings. Delete saved captures in Photos when you no longer want them.
Studio purchases
Apple handles purchases and Restore purchases. Spinodal checks verified StoreKit entitlements to enable Studio features. It does not receive your payment-card details or Apple Account password. Apple may also process App Store, TestFlight and device diagnostics according to your settings. Apple’s handling of these services is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.
Web pages and support email
About and Full guide open external web pages. Website visits are separate from the native simulation. Our site is delivered through Cloudflare Pages; loading a page sends ordinary web-request information to the host. Other Mind Bending Pixels pages may use analytics described in the website privacy policy. No analytics scripts or contact forms are included in this policy page or the companion Support page.
If you email us, you choose the message and attachments you send. Email is handled through your and our email providers. Do not send your Apple Account password, payment details or material you do not want to share.
