Effective date: 22 August 2026  ·  Version: 1.0.0.0  ·  Publisher: Hasnain Butt Akhtar / Hasnain Studio X  ·  Applies to: HSX Nostalgicel (Windows App)

1. Overview

HSX Nostalgicel 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 generation and all processing happen locally on your device.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

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

Personal Identity Data

No name, email, phone number, address, or identifiers.

Usage Data or Analytics

No telemetry, crash analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.

Your Content or Files

None of the words you type, none of the photographs you open, and none of the pictures the app makes from them.

Sensitive System Data

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

Location Data

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

Your Words and Pictures

Nothing you type and no picture the app makes is collected, uploaded, retained after the session, or used to train anything.

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

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

App Settings

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

Everything You Make

A photograph you open is read only and is never modified. Finished pictures are written to disk in the output folder you pick yourself, and are listed in the local Library described below.

Local Cache

Your chosen mode, accent, style, look and the switches on the Settings page, stored in a small local settings file. Nothing else is kept.

Local Trial or Licence State

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

Library Index

A small file on this PC listing the pictures you have made, with the words that produced each one, its seed, the style used, and any tag or collection name you add yourself. It exists so the Library page can find your work again. It is never uploaded, and deleting a picture removes its entry.

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

4. Microsoft Store Licensing

HSX Nostalgicel is a paid app with a free Microsoft Store 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 Nostalgicel requests only the minimum permissions required for core functionality. Permissions are used solely for app features and never for data collection.

File Access

Only what you hand it: the words you type and any photograph you open with the file picker or drop onto the window, plus the output folder you choose for finished pictures. It never reads your screen, and never opens a file you did not choose.

On-Device Processing

Reading your words, applying an era and its presets, cel-shading a photograph you supply, and exporting the result all run on your own PC using its graphics card. Nothing is sent anywhere to be generated or processed.

Network Access

Used only for the Microsoft Store licence check. The app makes no other outbound connection, and needs no internet at all to make a picture.

6. Children's Privacy

HSX Nostalgicel is a general-purpose 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.
