Privacy policy

For the Fractarium app for iPhone and iPad and this website · Last updated: 20 October 2026

In short

Fractarium does not collect any personal data. The app has no accounts, shows no ads, uses no tracking or analytics tools and never connects to a server.

Who is responsible

Marcus Adler, fractarium@ma-adler.de. Fractarium is a private, non-commercial project.

What stays on your device

Your settings – such as appearance, stage and the parameters you last used for each fractal – are stored only locally on your device. They never leave it and are deleted when you delete the app.

Photos and files

Only when you save an image or a video does the app ask for permission to add it to your photo library. It cannot read your photos. Vector graphics are saved through the system’s file dialog to a place of your choice.

App Store

Downloads and updates go through Apple’s App Store, which is covered by Apple’s privacy policy. If you allowed your iPhone or iPad to share analytics with app developers, Apple provides me with aggregated usage and crash statistics. They do not tell me who you are.

This website

This site is hosted by STRATO GmbH in Germany. When you visit it, STRATO processes technically necessary data such as your IP address in server logs to deliver and protect the site – see STRATO’s privacy policy. The site itself sets no cookies, loads no third-party fonts or scripts and measures nothing. On the start pages, a tag asks Safari on iPhone and iPad to show a banner for the app in the App Store; Safari fetches the details for it from Apple itself.

If you write to me

If you send me an email, I use your address and message only to reply and delete them once they are no longer needed for that.

Your rights

You can ask at any time what data I hold about you and have it corrected or deleted – an email is enough. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

Changes

If anything about the app changes that affects your privacy, I will update this policy; the version published here applies.
