Privacy Policy

HSX Aetheris is developed by Hasnain Studio X with a local‑first, privacy‑first design philosophy. Your game library is read on your own PC and never leaves it.

Effective date: 25 July 2026  ·  Publisher: Hasnain Butt Akhtar / Hasnain Studio X  ·  Applies to: HSX Aetheris (Windows App)

1. Overview

HSX Aetheris is developed by Hasnain Studio X with a local-first, privacy-first design philosophy.

  • We do not collect personal data.
  • We do not transmit any data to external servers.
  • We do not operate servers for our apps.
  • We do not sell, share, or monetize user data.

All processing happens locally on your device.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

HSX Aetheris does not collect, store, or send any of the following:

Personal Identity Data

No name, email, phone number, address, or identifiers. HSX Aetheris has no account and no sign-in.

Usage Data or Analytics

No telemetry, crash analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. HSX Aetheris contains no analytics library of any kind.

Your Games and Files

No game list, save data, screenshots, recordings, or any file on your PC is uploaded or shared.

Sensitive System Data

No passwords, tokens, credentials, browsing history, or system logs. HSX Aetheris never reads or stores your store account details.

Location Data

No GPS, IP-based location, or device location.

We do not run servers, so nothing can be uploaded even by accident.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

App Settings

Your theme, accent, and preferences are saved locally on your device only.

Your Library and Play History

HSX Aetheris reads the records your installed game launchers already keep on this PC to build your library, and records your own launches and session lengths so it can show your play insights. Both stay on your device.

Local Cache

Cover artwork is cached locally so your library loads quickly. Artwork you choose yourself is copied into the same local cache and never transmitted.

Local Trial or Licence State

Managed entirely by the Microsoft Store. The app reads it locally; we receive nothing.

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.

4. Microsoft Store Licensing

HSX Aetheris is a paid app with a Microsoft Store managed free trial. All licensing, payments, and transactions are handled exclusively by Microsoft.

  • We do not process payment information.
  • We do not store payment details.
  • We do not receive your Microsoft account information.

5. App Permissions

Minimum Required Only

HSX Aetheris requests only the minimum permissions required for core functionality. Permissions are used solely for app features and never for data collection.

File Access

Used to find the games already installed on this PC, and to read a cover image or a shortcut when you choose one. Nothing is uploaded and no file is opened for any other purpose.

On-Device Processing

Processor, graphics, and memory readings come from Windows performance counters and are displayed live on your screen. They are never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere.

Network Access

Used only for the Microsoft Store licence check. HSX Aetheris makes no other outbound connection. When you choose a cloud gaming tile or a link on the About page, that address opens in your own browser.

6. Children's Privacy

HSX Aetheris is a general-purpose utility tool. It is not directed to children under 13 and does not collect any data from any user.

7. Policy Updates

If this policy changes, we will update the version and effective date. Any changes will remain consistent with our core principle: Your data stays on your device.
