Privacy policy

Last updated: 19 July 2026

Pulsark ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect through pulsark.app and the Pulsark app, and how we use it. In short: we collect your email only if you give it to us, and nothing else identifies you.

Who is responsible

The data controller is Stig H. Våge, the developer of Pulsark, reachable at hello@pulsark.app. Pulsark is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.

What we collect

Your email address, only when you enter it to join the newsletter or beta. Optionally, anonymous, aggregate usage statistics about this website via a cookie-free analytics tool — never tied to an individual.

What we do not collect

No name, address or phone number. No payment information (that is handled by Apple through the App Store). No recordings, samples, sound banks or music you make — those stay on your device, and Pulsark Studio renders and exports entirely in your browser.

Why we collect it

To send you launch news and product updates, to invite you to beta testing through TestFlight, and to understand — anonymously and in aggregate — how the site is used so we can improve it.

Sharing

We never sell or share your email with third parties, except our email delivery provider, which processes it on our behalf under GDPR. We do not share data for advertising.

Storage

Your email is stored with our provider on servers in the EU. Anonymous statistics are stored in the EU. We keep your email until you ask us to delete it or unsubscribe.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email, and you can ask us to show you, or delete, everything we hold about you. Just email us and we will act on it promptly.

The Pulsark app

The app itself requires no account and asks for no personal details. Your projects, samples, sound banks and recordings stay on your device. Release builds do send crash and stability diagnostics — crash reports, app hangs, unexpected terminations, and technical context such as device model, iPadOS version, app version and audio-route changes — so that faults can be found and fixed. This is diagnostic data about the software, not about you: it carries no name, email or account, and is never used to track you or build a profile. Crash reports may include a screenshot of the app at the moment of failure, with all text masked. Debug builds send nothing.

Who processes data for us

Two processors act on our behalf under GDPR data-processing agreements, and neither may use the data for their own purposes. Brevo (Sendinblue) handles newsletter and beta email, storing addresses on EU servers — see brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy. Sentry receives the app’s crash and stability diagnostics described above — see sentry.io/privacy. If we ever enable website statistics we use Plausible, a cookie-free, EU-hosted tool that stores no personal data and sets no cookies.

Legal basis

Under the GDPR we rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for the newsletter and beta invitations, which you give by ticking the box and can withdraw at any time. For crash and stability diagnostics we rely on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) in keeping the software working, balanced by collecting no personal identifiers.

Children

Pulsark is a music production tool made for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us an email address, write to us and we will delete it.

Complaints

If you think we handle your data incorrectly, please contact us first — we would rather fix it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority; in Norway that is Datatilsynet (datatilsynet.no).

Changes

We may update this policy as the product and its launch evolve, and will publish any changes on this page with a new "last updated" date.
