Privacy Policy
PrismPulse
PrismPulse is designed to keep market data processing on-device. This policy explains how the app handles information.
Who we are
Dr Matcha Studio Limited and Dr Matcha Studio (collectively, "Dr Matcha Studio") own and operate PrismPulse. Dr Matcha Studio was founded by Mengjie Fan.
Scope and summary
This policy covers PrismPulse for macOS. The app performs ranking and UI rendering locally on your device. We do not operate a PrismPulse cloud service or collect usage data on our servers.
Information you provide
PrismPulse processes inputs you enter to build and rank your market radar.
- Watchlist symbols, pins, and ordering preferences
- Attention Dial settings and display choices
- Provider selections and optional API keys
Market data connections
When you connect a live data provider, your device communicates directly with that provider. The provider may receive your IP address, request metadata, and account credentials as governed by their privacy policy.
- Polygon (WebSocket + REST fallback)
- Alpaca (WebSocket + REST snapshot)
- Finnhub (when enabled)
Demo Mode uses deterministic simulated data and does not contact external services.
On-device processing and storage
Salience scoring, stability logic, and UI rendering happen on-device. Watchlists and preferences are stored locally in Application Support. API keys are stored in macOS Keychain under provider-specific accounts.
Diagnostics and logs
PrismPulse uses local system logging to aid troubleshooting. These logs remain on your device unless you choose to share them with us or with Apple through standard macOS crash reporting.
No tracking or ads
PrismPulse does not include advertising SDKs or third-party trackers. We do not sell personal data.
Sharing and exports
If you choose to export or share outputs, those files are created at your direction and shared using destinations you control. We do not receive exported content.
Retention and deletion
Data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Removing the app deletes locally stored data. API keys can be removed from within the app or via macOS Keychain.
Your choices and rights
Because we do not collect PrismPulse data on our servers, we do not have access to your watchlist or API keys. You control your data locally through the app and your device settings.
Security
We rely on platform-level protections provided by macOS. No system is perfectly secure, but PrismPulse is designed to minimize data exposure.
Children
PrismPulse is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we add optional cloud features or data collection, we will update this policy before those changes take effect.
