SCREEN PETS

Privacy Policy

Information practices for the Mac app, visionOS app, and related Screen Pets pages and support

Effective: September 18, 2026 | Last updated: September 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Myworkingmemory LLC (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with Screen Pets on macOS and visionOS, the Screen Pets support and legal pages on myworkingmemory.ai, and related Screen Pets support and services that link to this Policy (collectively, the "Services"). It does not automatically apply to other Company products or every page on the Company's website.

This Policy is an information notice. The Terms and Conditions are a separate contract. A more specific notice controls for the product and processing activity it expressly covers. Publishing or accepting a contract is not, by itself, permission for an undisclosed use of information.

THE IMPORTANT DISTINCTION: Screen Pets saves information on your device, but that does not mean the Company receives those local records. Apple purchases, a website visit, an email you send us, and a destination you choose for sharing are separate information flows. The sections below explain each one.

1. Scope and product summary

Screen Pets provides decorative virtual companions: two-dimensional pets on the Mac desktop and companions within the visionOS app's habitat or Pet Yard. Pet selection, placement, animation, and saved state are processed on your device. There is no Company account, Company-hosted pet roster, or Company cloud synchronization service in the versions described here.

The app uses Apple's purchase services for optional one-time collection unlocks. It does not provide a customer-facing AI-generation service or send your pet roster or desktop content to an AI provider. You may separately choose to contact support, open a website, or use a system sharing service.

As of this Policy's effective date, version 1.0 is released on Mac and visionOS. References to version 1.1 explain the update's behavior only if and when that version and feature are released and installed. They do not announce that a proposed update or collection is already available. Mac version 1.1's additional archives, local invitation history, earlier-customer benefit evidence, and sharing card must not be read as features of every earlier version or of visionOS.

This Policy does not replace the privacy notices of independent services, including Apple, your operating system, email provider, browser, sharing destinations, or recipients. Their handling of information is distinct from the app's local processing and the Company's receipt of information.

2. Information we handle

The term "information we handle" distinguishes information processed by our app on your device from information actually received by the Company or an external service. A local identifier is not a Company account. A screen or habitat coordinate is not geographic location.

2.1 Information you provide

Pet choices and controls. You choose pet types, locations, and settings and use controls such as pause, hide, home, and remove. The app processes these choices locally and saves the state needed to display your companions. Search text used to filter the Mac catalog stays in the local interface rather than being sent to a Company search service.

Support, feedback, and other correspondence. If you email us, we receive the sender address and the name, message, attachments, screenshots, device or app details, purchase information, and other material you choose to include. The support link opens your email service; it does not automatically upload your pet archive, complete device diagnostics, or desktop screenshot. A purchase receipt or attachment you deliberately send is separate from the app's ordinary StoreKit processing.

Sharing. You choose whether to share, what supported sharing item to send, and the destination. Mac version 1.1 composes an artwork-only card locally; visionOS version 1.1 shares a public app link and description. Section 9 explains recipients and visibility.

The app does not ask you to create a Company username or password or upload arbitrary files, images, or prompts to generate pets. Do not send information that is not needed for your request, particularly passwords, authentication codes, full payment-card or bank-account details, government identifiers, sensitive health information, or confidential information about another person.

2.2 Information generated through app use

Pet records. Local records can contain a randomly generated pet identifier, pet kind or catalog identifier, position, movement state, paused state, and home state. Mac records can also include a global hidden state. Vision positions are normalized coordinates within the Pet Yard, not a recorded room map.

Display and interaction information. The Mac app uses screen bounds, display changes, pointer position, mouse-movement and drag events, animation timing, relevant window state, and the system's Reduce Motion setting to position and animate pet windows and respond to controls. Some event monitoring can operate while another application is active. It is not desktop-pixel recording: the app does not use these events to collect a persistent pointer trail, keyboard input, clipboard contents, other-app window titles or content, or desktop files. A resulting pet position or setting may be saved even though the underlying event is transient.

Preferences and recovery state. Local settings can include first-use and first-placement flags, migration information, per-collection unlock status, the pet or collection selected during checkout, unresolved purchase state, and recovery or duplicate-delivery records. They help preserve selections and avoid treating an uncertain purchase as a completed purchase or a reason to buy again.

Local invitation history in Mac version 1.1. The app saves dates, counts, and settings used to decide when to show its own guidance, collection offers, sharing hints, or Apple review requests. These include first-use and interaction dates, session and meaningful-use counters, distinct active days, an initial time-zone identifier, offer attempts and dismissals, opt-outs or snoozes, review-request attempts, guidance identifiers, and policy-version or duplicate-event identifiers. These records remain local; a time-zone setting is not GPS location. The history records an attempted review invitation, not the rating you selected or the text of a review.

Local diagnostics. Mac version 1.1 keeps a bounded in-memory list of selected event names and related product, collection, entitlement, timing, source, and invitation-state information. It has no active external app-event reporting transport. The app also writes certain journey event names to operating-system debug logs; those names are not an upload of the full pet archive or full event payload.

Purchase and acquisition evidence. Apple supplies signed transaction or app-acquisition information to the app. Depending on the platform and feature, this includes product and transaction identifiers, original and current purchase dates, entitlement status, purchase environment, ownership origin, revocation status, and an app-transaction identifier. Mac version 1.1 also uses verified earlier acquisition or purchase evidence to determine and recover the earlier-customer Tiny Dragons benefit. The app processes that evidence locally rather than uploading it to a Company receipt-validation server.

2.3 Information from platforms and other services

Apple separately handles App Store accounts, downloads, billing, purchase history, refunds, and platform diagnostics. Apple may make developer reports available to the Company, such as downloads, sales and proceeds, refunds, taxes, app analytics, crash information, and public reviews. Information made available in such reports is not the same as receipt of your entire local pet roster, your full payment credentials, or the app's complete local transaction cache.

Website infrastructure receives the network information necessary to serve a page you request. Email services handle a message you choose to send. We may receive the resulting correspondence or provider reports made available to us. Sections 7, 9, and 10 distinguish these flows. The app does not read your full payment-card number, bank details, Apple Account email, or Apple password through its described StoreKit transaction paths.

3. How information is used

On-device information is used to display, animate, place, save, and recover pets; preserve preferences; verify collection access; reconcile purchases and revocations; assess the earlier-customer benefit where available; prevent duplicate purchase delivery; limit repetitive offers or review requests; diagnose app behavior; and compose sharing material you request.

Information you actually send to the Company is used to respond to your communication, address the reported issue, provide and document support, consider feedback, and handle a purchase, privacy, or legal request. Website infrastructure uses request information to deliver pages and operate and protect the hosting service. Apple and selected sharing or email services process information for their respective functions under their applicable arrangements.

Company-held information may also be used when reasonably necessary to meet applicable legal or accounting obligations, address misuse or security concerns, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. These purposes do not give the Company access to local app information that has not been sent to it. We do not use a policy update alone to authorize a materially different purpose where further notice or consent is required.

4. Local processing and user-controlled storage

4.1 Mac storage

Mac version 1.1 stores pet state in an application-support archive and related preferences within the app's local sandbox. It may retain an earlier archive, legacy preferences, and preserved recovery copies when data is migrated, damaged, or repaired. Purchase unlock and recovery information is stored locally. Invitation and guidance history is stored in a separate local file. These records are not a Company cloud profile.

Verified earlier-customer benefit evidence can also be stored in the Mac Keychain, a protected operating-system store. The app's new benefit-cache item is configured as device-only and is not configured by the app for iCloud synchronization. Keychain evidence can survive removal of the app or its ordinary container. The app does not provide a comprehensive Keychain-erasure control for that evidence.

4.2 visionOS storage

The described visionOS app stores its pet roster and habitat state in local app preferences, including pet identifiers, kinds, positions, paused state, and home state. More Pets unlock state is stored locally, with purchase objects and messages also used in memory. The Mac version 1.1 invitation-history system and earlier-customer Keychain cache are not visionOS features described by this Policy.

4.3 Backups and deletion limits

Removing a pet updates the current roster; it does not erase all preferences, purchase evidence, invitation history, preserved recovery files, or older copies. Quitting ends the app's running session, not all stored records. Uninstalling may leave a container, Keychain item, system log, backup, or exported file, depending on the operating system and removal method.

App-maintained recovery copies, operating-system or user backups, and copies kept by independent providers are different stores. The app's recovery files are not all subject to an automatic expiry or disk cleanup. Device backup and migration settings can affect which local records are copied. The Company cannot remotely retrieve or comprehensively erase a pet archive that exists only on your device.

You control device access, backups, exports, and sharing destinations. Information you voluntarily include in a support message or share with a recipient is handled through that separate flow; deleting the local original does not retract the external copy.

5. Accounts and cloud storage

Screen Pets does not provide a Company account, Company login, hosted user profile, or remote pet-content storage. There is no Company account-deletion process because there is no such account in the described app. Apple Account management and authentication are Apple's functions, not a Company sign-in form.

There is no Company pet-roster cloud sync between Mac, visionOS, or your other devices. Restore Purchases checks eligible collection access with Apple; it does not restore all pets and settings. Support and legal pages are hosted websites, not a cloud backup of your app data.

6. Purchases and platforms

Optional collections use Apple non-consumable purchases: one-time unlocks, not automatically renewing subscriptions. More Pets and Tiny Dragons, where offered, are distinct products. Family Sharing and cross-platform access depend on the particular product and Apple's rules. The Mac earlier-customer Tiny Dragons benefit uses the verified acquisition or entitlement evidence described above; it does not require a Company account.

StoreKit communicates with Apple, and the app receives the information needed to check purchases, restore eligible access, finish transactions, or reconcile a revocation. Some evidence is cached locally for recovery. The Company does not operate a separate receipt-validation endpoint in the described app. An Apple authentication request does not give the Company your Apple password.

Apple handles its payment credentials, transaction history, refund processes, platform security, and account records under its own terms and privacy practices. We may separately receive Apple developer reports or purchase details you choose to send to support. Removing the app does not erase Apple's records, request a refund, or delete Company correspondence about a transaction.

7. Analytics, diagnostics, advertising, and tracking

7.1 App-local events, review requests, and Apple diagnostics

The app does not send the described local pet, preference, invitation, or in-memory event records to a Company analytics service. Mac version 1.1 has local diagnostic and invitation logic but no implemented production adapter for optional remote event reporting and no third-party analytics SDK. A dormant interface or development plan is not an active data flow.

Apple review requests and an optional Rate Screen Pets link use Apple's mechanisms. The app does not read your chosen star rating, reward positive reviews, or require a review to unlock included content. Local history can record a request attempt even when Apple displays no review prompt.

Operating-system logs and crash or hang reports are separate from app-local event reporting. Apple-managed diagnostic sharing depends on system and platform settings, and Apple may make developer diagnostics available to the Company. System logs and provider reports do not necessarily disappear when the app quits or is uninstalled. No third-party crash-report uploader is included in the described app.

7.2 Website requests and website analytics

Opening the Screen Pets support, Terms, or Privacy page sends a request to website infrastructure served through Vercel. That infrastructure receives the requested address, network address, and connection or request metadata. Depending on provider processing, technical records may include request time, browser or user-agent information, referrer, approximate region inferred from a network address, error information, or security signals. This is not the app sending a pet roster or recording your desktop.

The Screen Pets support and legal page versions covered by this Policy are static pages without embedded analytics scripts or forms, and their page responses do not set cookies. The broader hosting project has web analytics enabled and has previously recorded analytics and performance data. A project-level setting does not establish that every current Screen Pets page sends an analytics event; it also does not mean that hosting infrastructure receives no request information. Other Company pages may have different practices and are outside this product-specific description unless they link to this Policy.

Provider request logs, security records, caches, analytics, and performance information have provider-dependent settings and retention. The Company does not necessarily receive every record a provider handles. Deleting an old website deployment is not the same as deleting visitor records. Section 11 addresses retention.

7.3 Advertising and tracking

The described app has no third-party advertising network or advertising SDK, does not use an advertising identifier for cross-app tracking, and does not transmit its local pet or invitation records to data brokers or advertising networks. No sale or disclosure of those local app records for cross-context behavioral advertising is part of the app's described operation.

Local offers for the Company's own collections and limits on how often they appear do not involve an external advertising profile. Choosing an external recipient with the system sharing control is a separate user-directed action. This app-specific description is not a statement that every Company website, independent platform, or support provider has identical practices.

8. AI and automated features

Screen Pets does not accept customer AI prompts or call a runtime AI model to generate pets in the described versions. Pet motion, animation, and sharing-card composition run as local app functions. Customer app use does not send desktop screenshots, local pet files, or prompts to a model provider through those functions.

Some bundled artwork and models were produced with generation tools during development. That production workflow is separate from customer information processing. It is not a customer upload, model-training, or human-review feature. The app does not transmit your information to those development tools through the functions described here.

9. When information leaves the device or is disclosed

Apple platform functions. Purchases, restoration, account authentication, review submissions, and platform diagnostics involve Apple as described in Sections 6 and 7. These flows do not establish that the Company receives every item Apple processes.

User-selected sharing. Mac version 1.1 can compose a 1200-by-800-pixel image containing up to twelve pet kinds or names and fixed app branding or text, together with a public App Store link. The generator does not include desktop pixels, other windows, device files, clipboard contents, pet coordinates, or purchase identifiers. Mac version 1.1 also offers an Invite a Friend action that supplies only the public App Store link to Messages or, if Messages is unavailable, a system sharing destination you choose. It does not automatically send a message. The described visionOS version 1.1 sharing control sends an app link and short description, not a roster image or transaction record. The sharing service and destination you choose can receive and retain the shared items. A completion callback is not proof of receipt, and the Company cannot retract a recipient's copy.

Email and support. Your email client and providers transmit a message you choose to send. The Company and the services used to deliver and handle that communication can receive the message and attachments. Our contact domain uses Microsoft mail-protection infrastructure in its mail route; that routing fact does not identify every mailbox host, reseller, forwarding destination, or storage country involved. We do not automatically attach the app's local stores to an email.

Website infrastructure. Vercel and the applicable hosting and network services process page requests independently of local pet records. Provider handling is described in Sections 7 and 10.

Legal and protection purposes. The Company may disclose information it actually holds when reasonably necessary for applicable law, valid legal process, protection of rights or security, or legal claims, subject to Section 18. This does not permit remote retrieval of device-only records through an app feature that does not exist.

A new recipient or materially different use requiring notice or consent will be addressed through the notice or consent required for that change. This Policy does not add an undisclosed public gallery, enterprise administrator, data-enrichment feed, or customer-content training pipeline.

10. Service providers and their roles

The relevant services include Apple for platform functions, Vercel for the product's web pages, email-delivery and mailbox services for correspondence, and the sharing or email services you select. Website source hosting is part of the Company's development and deployment workflow; visiting a legal page does not upload your pet roster to a source-code repository.

A provider's role depends on the service and applicable arrangements. Apple and a sharing destination may independently determine aspects of their processing. The Company does not describe every provider as exclusively its processor or promise control over all provider data. Provider privacy notices, your settings, applicable service terms, and law govern the independent processing each provider undertakes.

Use the Company contact for questions about Company-held information. Requests concerning an independently controlled Apple Account, recipient copy, or provider account may also need to be made to that provider. No provider connection described here creates a Company cloud copy of local pet records.

11. Retention

Different stores have different retention behavior. A period used to decide when to show an offer or review request is not a deletion deadline. A record-count limit is not a time-based erasure schedule.

For information the Company actually holds, we retain it only as long as reasonably necessary for the disclosed purpose and applicable obligations, and delete, de-identify, or dispose of it when no longer needed, subject to technical limits, backup cycles, legal holds, and lawful exceptions. This is not a representation that all providers use one fixed retention schedule or that every request can erase every copy immediately. Contact us about a particular record or deletion request.

12. Security

The described app uses Apple's application sandbox. Mac version 1.1 also uses hardened-runtime configuration, signed and matching StoreKit transaction checks, atomic local-file writes, bounded archive and event inputs, and Keychain protection for earlier-customer benefit evidence. The public Screen Pets support and legal pages use HTTPS. These are specific technical measures, not a certification of every device, provider, or Company operating process.

The pet and invitation-history JSON files do not have an additional app-managed encryption layer. Sandbox isolation is not the same as encryption. Device encryption, operating-system protection, and the security of backups depend on the device and relevant settings. The Company does not know or control every customer's FileVault or backup configuration.

No storage or transmission method is completely secure. Unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure cannot be ruled out. Secure your device and Apple Account, review what you send to support, and choose sharing recipients carefully. Do not include secret credentials in a request for help.

13. Security incidents

If a security incident affects personal information for which the Company is responsible, we will take the steps required by applicable law, including notice to affected people, regulators, or others when required. Timing, content, and method depend on the facts, applicable requirements, law-enforcement needs, and remediation. This provision does not promise notice where applicable law does not require it or for every local device issue beyond the Company's control.

14. Privacy rights and choices

Local controls. You can manage or remove companions and use the settings and invitation choices offered by your version. These controls affect the relevant function, not every local or external store. Section 4 explains why Remove Pet, quitting, and uninstalling are not comprehensive erasure.

Platform and sharing choices. You control whether to submit a review, request a purchase, open an external page, send an email, or share material. Apple manages Apple Account and platform diagnostic settings. Your operating system, backup provider, and sharing recipients manage their separate controls.

Requests to the Company. Depending on your location, the information, and applicable law, you may have rights to confirm processing, access information, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, obtain a portable copy, object to or restrict certain processing, opt out of qualifying sale, advertising or profiling, withdraw consent where it is the basis for processing, or appeal a denied request. Nonwaivable rights and protections against unlawful discrimination remain available. You may contact the appropriate supervisory or public authority where such a right applies.

Send requests to dean@myworkingmemory.ai with "Screen Pets Privacy Request" in the subject line. Identify the platform, your request, and enough information to locate the relevant correspondence or Company-held record. No Company account is required. Do not send an Apple password, verification code, complete payment credentials, or unrelated identity documents.

We may verify identity or authority proportionately and request information reasonably necessary to locate a record or prevent unauthorized disclosure. An authorized agent should provide evidence of authority; direct confirmation may be requested where permitted. We respond within the applicable legal period and explain any refusal or available appeal as required. To appeal, email the same address with "Screen Pets Privacy Appeal" in the subject line.

We cannot provide or remotely delete a device-only pet record that the Company has not received. We can explain the relevant app controls and distinguish Company-held records from Apple, device, backup, or recipient records. A request does not require deletion of information that law permits or requires to be retained.

15. Children and teens

Screen Pets uses animal and fantasy-character imagery. The described app does not ask for a date of birth, create a child profile, provide a Company messaging account, or operate a public user gallery. Its App Store age rating describes content suitability; it is not a statement about contractual capacity or proof of parental consent.

Parents and guardians should supervise a child's device use, purchases, external sharing, and support communications. A child should not send personal information, screenshots, or attachments to the Company without a parent or guardian's assistance. The absence of a Company account does not mean an email or external sharing service cannot receive personal information.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to the Company in circumstances requiring parental authorization or other protection, contact dean@myworkingmemory.ai and identify Screen Pets and the concern. We will address the information and request as applicable children's-privacy requirements require, including deletion or parental authorization where required. Do not send additional information about a child that is unnecessary to explain the concern.

16. Sensitive, health, biometric, and precise-location information

The described ordinary app functions do not request camera, microphone, photo-library, contacts, health, biometric-template, or precise geographic-location information. Mac screen positions and visionOS Pet Yard coordinates are not geographic location. The described visionOS app does not store a map of your room.

Keychain protection does not mean the app reads your biometric template. A permission or authentication interface provided by Apple is not a Company collection of an Apple password or biometric record. Support messages and attachments are different: do not send sensitive personal or third-party information that the request does not need. The app is an entertainment product, not a health, professional-advice, or emergency service.

17. International users and transfers

The Company is based in the United States. If you visit its product pages, use Apple platform functions, email support, or share through an independent service, information may be processed in the United States and other countries where the relevant service operates. International availability does not itself send your local pet roster to the Company or establish where every independent provider stores information.

Processing by these services is not restricted by this Policy to one country, and data-protection laws can differ between countries. Your nonwaivable local rights remain applicable. Contact the Company about its handling of your information or a relevant regional notice; contact an independent provider about its separate processing. Any additional notice, safeguard, or authorization required for a particular processing activity remains required.

18. Legal requests and protection of rights

The Company may preserve, access, or disclose information it actually holds when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or enforceable legal process; protect a person's vital interests; address fraud, abuse, or security threats; enforce an agreement; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We may assess, narrow, challenge, or reject a request when appropriate and lawful.

This provision does not state that the Company possesses all local app data or can retrieve it on demand. It does not authorize a new device-surveillance capability or a broader collection practice than this Policy describes. Disclosure and retention remain subject to applicable limits and notice obligations.

19. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect product, legal, provider, or operational changes. The updated version will identify its effective and last-updated dates. If a change materially expands a use of personal information, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required. We will not rely on a silent policy change to authorize a materially different use when law requires more.

A proposed future feature, unused technical interface, or development-only capture tool is not an existing customer information flow. If a later version introduces Company accounts, cloud pet storage, remote analytics, customer uploads, or runtime AI processing, its actual practices must be addressed in the applicable notice before the new processing occurs as required.
