Privacy Policy

SpatiaX Ultra App - How we handle your data and protect your privacy.

Effective date: 17 May 2026  ·  Last updated: 17 May 2026  ·  Publisher: Hasnain Studio X (Hasnain Butt Akhtar)

1. Overview

SpatiaX Ultra is a Windows desktop spatial-audio enhancement app that processes the audio output of your PC in real time using a local DSP engine. This policy explains what information the App accesses and how it is used.

SpatiaX Ultra processes all audio entirely on your device. No audio is ever uploaded, recorded, or transmitted to any server.

We only access data needed to deliver features you actively use. If you do not use a feature, related data is not processed for that feature.

This policy is provided for Microsoft Store compliance and user transparency.

2. Data we access on-device

The App may access the following data locally to function:

Audio Endpoints (WASAPI)

SpatiaX Ultra enumerates and connects to your Windows audio capture and render endpoints (speakers, headphones, virtual cables) so it can route processed audio. Only device identifiers, friendly names, sample rate and channel count are accessed - never any audio content.

Live Audio Stream

The system audio loopback stream is processed in real time inside the local DSP engine (EQ, spatializer, HRTF, surround, dynamics). Audio frames exist only in process memory during playback and are never written to disk or transmitted.

App Preferences and Presets

Local app settings such as selected output device, latency, sound mode, EQ curve, presets, per-device calibration and macro slider positions are stored under your Windows AppData folder.

HRTF Datasets (Optional)

If you place a KEMAR-format HRTF dataset in the app's HRTF\ folder, SpatiaX Ultra loads it locally to power binaural rendering. The dataset is read only at startup; the App never uploads or shares it.

Purchase / License State

Microsoft Store license state is checked at launch to determine whether your free trial is active, expired, or whether a full purchase is associated with your Microsoft account.

3. Optional network and external services

Depending on features you use, the App may access network/external services for:

Microsoft Store Licensing

For the one-time purchase, restore, and Store-managed free trial, the App communicates with the Microsoft Store using your Microsoft account context. Only the license response is read - no purchase metadata is stored by SpatiaX Ultra.

User-Requested External Links

Opening the Microsoft Store product page, the developer website, or this privacy policy in your browser - only when explicitly requested by you.

No Analytics or Telemetry

SpatiaX Ultra ships without third-party analytics, telemetry SDKs, crash-reporting beacons, or advertising IDs. The App does not phone home.

No Audio Upload

No part of the audio signal - system playback, microphone, or test tones - is ever sent over the network. All DSP processing runs entirely on your CPU.

What We Do Not Collect

SpatiaX Ultra does not collect contacts, SMS / messages, advertising ID, precise device location, microphone input (unless you explicitly enable a future voice-tuning feature), or any audio content for app functionality.

4. Data sharing and selling

We do not sell personal information.

We do not use third-party advertising SDKs in the desktop app.

We only interact with Microsoft Store licensing services so the App can validate your free trial and unlock the full version after purchase.

Microsoft Store purchase and account handling are governed by Microsoft privacy terms in addition to this policy.

5. Microphone and other permissions

SpatiaX Ultra processes system playback audio (WASAPI loopback) and does not require microphone access for normal listening enhancement.

The App declares the internetClient capability solely so the Microsoft Store licensing API can reach the Store service for trial state and purchase restore.

The App declares the runFullTrust capability because Windows audio endpoints (WASAPI exclusive/shared modes) require a full-trust process - this is the standard requirement for any real-time audio DSP app on Windows.

You can manage Windows permissions at any time in system settings.

6. Local storage and retention

The App stores configuration, presets and per-device calibration locally so your sound profile persists between launches. These files live under %LOCALAPPDATA%\\Packages\\HasnainButtAkhtar.SpatiaXUltra_*.

No audio content, capture, or playback recording is ever stored.

You can remove all local app data by uninstalling SpatiaX Ultra from Windows Settings → Apps.

7. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect local app data. Final security also depends on your Windows account and device security controls. The App is distributed exclusively through the Microsoft Store and runs sandboxed inside its MSIX container.

8. Children's privacy

SpatiaX Ultra is not directed to children under 13.

9. Your rights

Depending on your region (for example GDPR / CCPA), you may have rights regarding personal data, including access, correction, deletion, or objection where applicable. Contact us using the details below for privacy requests.

When applicable, we aim to respond to verified privacy requests within a reasonable timeframe required by law.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will reflect the latest revision.
