Your work stays on your device.
Thank you for using Metaspace, an iOS app designed for drawing in three dimensions. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use the app, how it is used, and how it is secured.
1. Information we collect
Digital Architecture does not collect personal information, project content, face-tracking data, motion data, or usage analytics from Metaspace. The app processes the information needed for optional camera and motion features locally on your device, as described below, and does not send it to Digital Architecture, advertisers, analytics providers, or other third parties.
2. Offline operation
Metaspace functions on your iOS device and does not require an internet connection for core editing. Your drawings and creations are stored locally, and the app does not transmit project data over the internet. System sharing and file services are used only when you explicitly choose them.
3. Data storage and deletion
All data created within Metaspace, including drawings, designs, and other project content, is stored locally on your device. Metaspace does not store that data on Digital Architecture servers. You can delete projects within the app. Deleting Metaspace removes its app-local data, subject to any device backups or copies you previously exported. Images you choose to save to Photos can be deleted in the Photos app.
4. No user accounts
Metaspace does not require an account, login, or user authentication. Core usage is anonymous and no personal profile is created.
5. Camera, Photos, and device permissions
Metaspace requests access only when you choose a feature that needs it. AR Mode uses the back-facing camera to place drawings in the physical environment. Presenter Camera and Render Snapshots may request permission to add the images you explicitly capture or render to your Photos library. You can revoke camera or Photos access at any time in iOS Settings; the rest of the app remains available without these optional features.
6. Camera Depth and face-tracking data
Camera Depth is an optional parallax mode. When you select it and grant camera permission, Apple’s ARKit uses the front-facing camera to track one viewer. Metaspace reads only the midpoint position between the viewer’s eyes, or the head position when individual eye positions are unavailable, to shift interface layers in response to the viewer’s movement.
Camera Depth does not use gaze direction, facial expressions, face geometry, or face tracking to identify or authenticate you. Metaspace does not display, record, save, or transmit the front-camera images used by ARKit. The temporary head or eye position and the resulting parallax offset remain in memory only for the active session and are discarded when tracking stops. Camera Depth pauses when the app is inactive or while another camera-intensive feature is using the camera.
7. Motion Depth
Motion Depth is an optional alternative to Camera Depth. It uses motion-sensor information through Apple’s Core Motion framework to create a subtle parallax effect as you move your device. The motion samples and resulting parallax offset are processed on device, are not retained after use, and are not transmitted. Only one depth-parallax method can be active at a time, and you can select Off at any time to stop both methods.
8. Children’s privacy
Metaspace does not create user accounts, build profiles, or send personal information to Digital Architecture. It can be used as an offline educational drawing tool. A parent, guardian, or educator should still supervise device and App Store use where appropriate.
9. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the app or legal requirements change. The latest version will remain available on this page with its effective date.
