Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Mockyard Studio ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects information across our websites, applications, and digital services.

Our philosophy is simple: your data belongs to you. Whenever possible, our applications are designed to work offline and keep your information on your own device instead of our servers.

Different products provide different features, so data handling may vary by application. The sections below explain the privacy practices for each of our products and services.

Information We Collect

Depending on the product or service you use, we may collect:

• Name and email address (for account-based services).
• Subscription and purchase information.
• Anonymous crash reports and diagnostic information.
• Device and application version information required to improve reliability.
• Information you voluntarily provide when contacting customer support.

We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve our services.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for legitimate purposes, including:

• Providing and maintaining our applications and services.
• Creating and managing your account.
• Processing subscriptions and purchases.
• Responding to support requests.
• Improving reliability, security, and performance.
• Complying with legal obligations where required.

App Permissions

Depending on the application and the features you choose to use, we may request permissions such as:

• Photos and Videos
• Storage
• Camera
• Microphone
• Location (only when required for location-based features)
• Notifications

Permissions are requested only when needed for a feature and can usually be managed through your device settings.

Nostos: Travel Expense Tracker

Nostos is built as an offline-first travel expense tracker.

• Travel expenses, budgets, currencies, and trip information remain on your device by default.
• We do not have access to your financial records unless you explicitly choose to use optional cloud synchronization features.
• Data exports (CSV, JSON, etc.) are generated entirely on your device.
• If you choose to enable optional cloud synchronization, your synchronized data will be encrypted and used solely to provide secure backup and multi-device access.

SimplyEdit: Video Editor

SimplyEdit processes your videos locally on your device whenever possible.

• By default, videos, photos, audio files, and editing projects are processed locally on your device.
• If a feature requires cloud processing, synchronization, or AI-powered services, you will be informed before any data is transmitted.
• We access your media library only with your permission and only for importing or exporting files that you choose.
• Exported videos are saved only to the location you select.

Nostos & Nodes Ecosystem

The Nostos & Nodes ecosystem includes our website, future community features, maps, directories, newsletters, and other services designed for solo travelers.

• If you create an account, we collect only the information necessary to maintain that account, such as your name and email address.
• If you subscribe to newsletters or updates, your email address is used solely for delivering those communications and you can unsubscribe at any time.
• If maps or location-based features are available, your location is used only to provide those services and is never continuously tracked in the background without your permission.
• Community content or profile information that you choose to publish may be visible to other users, depending on the feature you use.
• We may use cookies and similar technologies on our website to remember your preferences, improve functionality, measure performance, and enhance your experience.

Other Mockyard Applications

All applications published by Mockyard Studio follow the same privacy principles:

• Collect only the minimum information required.
• Prefer on-device processing whenever possible.
• Never sell personal information.
• Clearly explain any cloud features before they are enabled.

Third-Party Services

Our products may integrate trusted third-party providers for services including:

• Authentication
• Cloud synchronization
• Subscription management
• Crash reporting
• Payment processing
• Analytics

Each provider processes information according to its own privacy policy.

Analytics & Crash Reports

Some products use anonymous diagnostic information, crash reports, and performance metrics to improve reliability and fix software issues.

These reports do not include your personal files, videos, financial records, or private content unless you explicitly submit them during a support request.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Information stored solely on your device remains under your control and may be removed by deleting the application or clearing its data.

International Users

Our services are available worldwide. Depending on the services you use, your information may be processed in countries other than your own in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Children's Privacy

Our products are not directed toward children under the age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the right to:

Exercising these rights will not affect your ability to continue using features that do not require the requested information.

• Access your personal information.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your account and cloud data.
• Export your information where supported.
• Withdraw consent for optional features.

If your information is stored only on your device, uninstalling the application or clearing its data permanently removes that local information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our products, legal requirements, or business practices. Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
