Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

HashSecure Technologies LLC ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you:

• Visit our website (hashsecure.us)
• Use our mobile applications (VisaPulse, EpicTalk, RoadRage, LifeFlow, RadioStar, Solstix, Heliosa, AuditEdge, Swonk, The Stack)
• Use our applications for Mac and Apple TV (RadioStar for Mac, RadioStar Scenes, and Phonepose for Mac, an App Store screenshot designer available on the Mac App Store)
• Use our web applications (Phonepose, at phonepose.com)
• Engage with our technology consulting services

We comply with applicable laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

2. Information We Collect

What we collect depends on the app. Several of our apps collect no data at all; each app's section below says exactly what it does. The general categories in A and B apply only to apps whose section mentions them.

A. Information You Provide

• Account Information: Email address, name, username
• Contact Information: Email, phone number, company name when you contact us
• Payment Information: Processed securely through Apple App Store (we do not store payment details)
• User Content: Any information you choose to provide within our apps
• USCIS Receipt Numbers: Immigration case receipt numbers (e.g., EAC1234567890, LIN1234567890, MSC1234567890) that you voluntarily provide for case tracking purposes. Receipt numbers are considered Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as they can be used to identify your specific immigration case.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Device Information: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers
• Usage Data: Features used, interaction patterns, crash logs
• Log Data: IP address, browser type, access times, referring URLs

C. Product-Specific Data

VisaPulse (Immigration Case Tracker)

• USCIS Receipt Numbers (PII): VisaPulse collects USCIS receipt numbers that users voluntarily enter to track their immigration cases. Receipt numbers are 13-character alphanumeric identifiers (e.g., EAC1234567890, LIN1234567890, MSC1234567890) assigned by USCIS to immigration applications. Receipt numbers are considered Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as they can be used to identify a specific immigration case.
• How Receipt Numbers Are Used: Receipt numbers are transmitted securely to the official USCIS Case Status API (api.uscis.gov) solely for the purpose of retrieving case status, processing updates, and case history on the user's behalf.
• Case Status Data: Information retrieved from USCIS including case status, form type, receipt date, and status history.
• User Preferences: Notification settings, tracked cases, and app preferences.

EpicTalk (TV Planner)

EpicTalk has no accounts and no ads. Your followed shows, marks and watch history are stored on your device, with optional iCloud sync through your own iCloud account. Show and episode information comes from TMDB. To write briefs, columns and recaps, show and episode information (and, for Previously On, summaries of the episodes you marked watched) is sent through our server, hosted on Cloudflare, to Google's Gemini API. No name, account or device identifier is sent with these requests. Some text may be written by Apple's on-device model instead, where available.

Road Rage: Fury Lane (Game)

If you sign in with Apple, we receive your name and email address (or Apple's private relay address) and a user ID. Your name and scores appear on public leaderboards. Gameplay data and scores are stored in Google Firebase (Firestore). The app uses Firebase Analytics to understand gameplay and crashes. When you delete your account in the app, we delete your profile and your sign-in account. Scores already posted to leaderboards are not removed by this step yet; email info@hashsecure.us and we will remove them.

LifeFlow (Life-Event Organizer)

LifeFlow is designed so that we hold none of your information. It has no accounts and no analytics; we do not collect device information, usage data, or logs from LifeFlow. Your journeys, documents, notes, photos, and profile details are stored in encrypted storage on your device. If you enable iCloud sync or sharing, that data syncs through your own private iCloud database under your Apple account, subject to Apple's privacy practices; we cannot read it. LifeFlow Pro is a one-time purchase processed by Apple; we receive no payment card details.

LifeFlow's optional AI features work differently from the rest of the app and are disclosed in-app before use: when you type a description of a life event to generate a journey, or ask a question about a journey, that typed text — after an on-device step that strips names, emails, phone numbers, and other identifiers — is sent through our server to Google's Gemini API to produce the response. No user ID, device ID, account, or advertising identifier accompanies these requests, we do not store the content, and nothing from your document vault or profile is ever included. If you never use the AI features, nothing leaves your device through LifeFlow.

RadioStar, RadioStar for Mac and RadioStar Scenes (Live Radio)

• As declared in their App Store privacy labels, these apps do not collect data from you.
• Radio streams are played directly from independent broadcasters found through the community RadioBrowser directory. As with any internet stream, a broadcaster's server receives your device's network address while you listen; those broadcasters are not operated by us.
• RadioStar can use your location or a postal code you enter to suggest local stations.

Solstix (Night Sky) and Heliosa (Sky & Weather)

These apps do not collect data from you. They use your device's location to show weather, sky events, ISS passes, golden hour and eclipse times. Weather comes from Apple WeatherKit, which receives your location from your device under Apple's privacy policy; we do not receive it. Space weather and imagery come from NASA and NOAA. Heliosa can add an eclipse reminder to your calendar; it only asks to add events, not to read your calendar.

AuditEdge (Audit Toolkit)

AuditEdge has no accounts. Your search history is stored on your device and is not linked to your identity. When you use AI search or AI content, the text you type is sent through our server, hosted on Cloudflare, to Google's Gemini API to produce the answer. No name, account or device identifier is sent with it, and you are asked before the first request. Vulnerability data comes from the NVD API.

Swonk (Voice Notes)

Your notes, recordings, photos and saved credentials are stored on your device, with optional iCloud sync, off by default. Face ID is handled by your device; we never receive it. If you turn on Smart Suggestions, the text of a note (a voice transcript, typed note, receipt text or YouTube description) is sent through our server, hosted on Cloudflare, to Google's Gemini API. Passwords and other secrets are masked on your device before anything is sent, and you are asked before the first request. Swonk uses YouTube API Services to read video details you share; see the Google Privacy Policy and YouTube's Terms of Service.

The Stack (News)

The Stack does not collect data from you. It has no accounts and no analytics. Saved stories and settings are stored on your device. If you turn on iCloud Sync, they sync through your own iCloud account; we cannot read them. To show stories, the app requests headlines and article images from our server, which reads publishers' public RSS feeds. These requests contain no identifiers, and our server does not log your IP address. When you open a story or an image loads, the publisher's site receives your device's network address, as with any website. Reminders and the morning digest are scheduled on your device and are optional.

Phonepose for Mac

Phonepose for Mac keeps everything on your Mac. We don't collect, see or store anything you make with it.

What we collect. Nothing. Phonepose for Mac has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. It doesn't send your designs, screenshots, captions or any other data to us or to anyone else.

Where your work is kept.

• Your designs are files (ending in .phonepose) that you save wherever you choose.
• If you turn on "Keep designs in iCloud Drive" in Settings (it's off at first), designs are stored and synced by Apple in your own iCloud Drive, under your Apple Account. They go from your Mac to your iCloud, never to us, and we can't see them.
• Exports are saved only where you choose.
• Your settings and a few working files that make the app faster (such as prepared 3D phones and previews) stay in the app's own folder on your Mac.

Purchases. Phonepose Pro is an auto-renewing subscription bought through the Mac App Store. Apple handles the payment and your Apple Account, and we never see your payment details, name or email. The app only asks the App Store whether your Apple Account has Pro. To keep the free export to one screen, one time, the app keeps a small note in your Mac's keychain saying the free screen was used. It holds nothing else.

Files you open. When you open an Xcode project, a folder or a screenshot, Phonepose only reads what you pick, to fill in your app's icon, colors, languages and screenshots. macOS only lets the app see the files and folders you choose.

Translation. Translation happens on your Mac, using the translator built into macOS and, for some languages, Apple Intelligence. Your captions aren't sent to us. The first time you translate into a language, macOS may download that language from Apple, and Apple's privacy policy covers that download.

Deleting your data. In the app, Settings > Privacy > Delete All App Data removes your settings, recent files list and working files. It doesn't touch your saved designs or exports, because those are your own files; delete them in Finder like any other file. Because we hold no data about you, there's nothing for us to delete on our side.

Children. Phonepose for Mac is made for app developers and isn't aimed at children. It collects nothing from anyone, including children.
