Privacy Policy

HSX Nova is a local AI image‑creation workstation for Windows, developed by Hasnain Studio X with a local‑first, privacy‑first design philosophy. Image creation, refinement and chat all run on your own device.

Effective date: 22 July 2026  ·  Publisher: Hasnain Butt Akhtar / Hasnain Studio X  ·  Applies to: HSX Nova for Windows (version 1.0.0.0)

1. Overview

HSX Nova runs entirely on your own PC and requires a dedicated GPU. The app ships with no model weights - you point it at your own model files, and those files stay wherever you put them.

  • We do not collect personal data.
  • We do not operate servers for this app.
  • We do not sell, share, or monetize user data.
  • Nothing you create is ever uploaded.

The only outbound internet use in the whole app is the Microsoft Store licence check.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

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

Personal Identity Data

No name, email, phone number, address, or identifiers. The app has no accounts and no sign-in.

Usage Data or Analytics

No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting, no update pings, no advertising SDKs.

User Content

No prompts, images, face photos, model files, or anything else you create or load inside the app.

Sensitive System Data

No passwords, tokens, credentials, browsing history, or system logs.

Location Data

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

There is no cloud processing. We do not run servers for HSX Nova, so nothing can be uploaded even by accident.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

App Settings

Your preferences and configuration are saved in the app's local app-data folder on your PC only.

Prompt History and Image Tags

Prompts you have used and tags you apply to images are stored locally so you can find your work again.

Saved Face Photos

Photos you choose for the face tool are stored locally in the app's app-data folder. They are never transmitted, and you can delete them at any time.

Local Log

A plain log file kept on your device to help you troubleshoot. It is never sent anywhere.

Your Model Files

HSX Nova includes no model weights. It reads the model files you point it at, and they remain in the location you chose.

Created Images

Images you create are saved to your Pictures folder in a HSX Nova subfolder. Each image stores its own recipe - prompt, seed and size - inside the PNG file.

This data never leaves your device. The optional local chat feature talks to a runtime on the loopback address on your own machine, so that traffic stays on the PC as well.

4. Microsoft Store Licensing

HSX Nova is a paid app with a 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 or card details.
  • We do not receive your Microsoft account information.

The licence check is the only outbound internet call the app makes.

5. App Permissions

Internet Client

Used solely for the Microsoft Store licence check. There are no other outbound calls, no update pings, and no crash reporting.

Full-Trust Desktop

Required to run image creation on your GPU and to read the model files and photos you select.

File Access

Only for the files and folders you choose, plus the HSX Nova subfolder in your Pictures folder where created images are saved. No background scanning.

Responsible Use

Every generated image carries a visible AI mark, and a safety filter is always on and cannot be switched off.

6. Children's Privacy

HSX Nova is a general audience creative 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.
