Northwave is a Mac tool for game sound design. This policy explains, plainly, what the app does and does not do with your information. The short version: your recordings stay on your own disk, and we do not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data.
Nothing. Northwave has no account, no login, and no sign-up. We do not collect names, email addresses, contacts, location, advertising identifiers, or usage analytics.
A Northwave project is an ordinary folder that you choose on your own disk. Everything the app touches — your recordings, the sound tables, and the kits it exports — is written into that folder and nowhere else. It is never uploaded to us or to any third party.
Northwave asks for microphone access only so that you can record a take into your project. The
audio goes straight into your project folder as an ordinary .wav file. Nothing is
recorded without you pressing record, and nothing leaves your machine.
Northwave works fully offline and makes no network requests at all — no font server, no analytics, no telemetry, and nothing to opt out of.
Northwave is a general-purpose sound tool and is not directed at children. Because we collect no data at all, we collect none from children.
We do not share or sell data, because we do not have any of your data to begin with.
Your project folder is yours: move it, copy it, or delete it at any time with the Finder. Because nothing is stored on our side, there is nothing for you to request from us.
If this policy changes, the updated version will appear at this same address with a new date.
