PhosphorLive is a video performance application that runs entirely on your Mac. It was designed to work without collecting, storing, or transmitting any personal data.
01 / Overview
The short version — none of your data leaves your Mac.
02 / Data collection
Nothing is collected.
PhosphorLive does not collect any personal information. Specifically:
- No user accounts or registration required
- No analytics or tracking
- No crash reporting sent to external servers
- No cookies or identifiers
- No network requests to our servers
03 / Local data
What stays on your machine.
PhosphorLive stores the following data locally on your Mac:
- Project files — your setlists, choreography, and effect settings, saved as JSON files wherever you choose
- Preferences — app settings (audio device, MIDI configuration, window positions) stored in macOS UserDefaults
- Security-scoped bookmarks — file access permissions for your video files, managed by macOS sandboxing
This data never leaves your computer.
04 / Camera & mic
Processed locally, never stored.
PhosphorLive may request access to your camera and microphone for live overlay effects and audio-reactive features. Camera and audio data is processed locally in real-time and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted.
05 / Network
Only your local network, only for live work.
PhosphorLive uses local network connections only for:
- OSC (Open Sound Control) — receiving control messages from other apps or devices on your local network
- Syphon — sharing video frames with other applications on the same Mac
No data is sent to external servers or the internet.
06 / Third parties
None.
PhosphorLive does not integrate with any third-party services, advertising networks, or analytics platforms.
07 / Children
Children's privacy.
PhosphorLive does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
08 / Changes
If anything changes.
If I make changes to this privacy policy, I will update this page. Since PhosphorLive collects no data, significant changes are unlikely.
