Privacy, kept close to the work.
This page describes the current shipping behavior of QC Deck, an audio quality-control app published by perpetual media ltd. as a Van Horne Studios product. It covers the app, its optional file integrations, and support conversations—not the separate browsing behavior of this website.
Publisher and scope
QC Deck is an audio quality-control and analysis app for reviewing imported music files, measurements, playback, reports, and revision notes. QC Deck is published by perpetual media ltd. [JURISDICTION — owner to supply], the seller shown on the App Store. Van Horne Studios is the product brand.
Publication gate: supply the jurisdiction and final effective date, and approve this text, before this page is published.
Data and files you choose to use
QC Deck can work with audio files, session bundles, file names, timestamps, format details, measurements, playback state, reports, and local revision comments that you import or create. The app may also read device and app settings needed for audio playback, file access, accessibility, and reliable operation.
In the current Release configuration, audio analysis and report generation are performed on the device. QC Deck does not require an account for its local workflow, and no advertising, analytics, or tracking collection is declared in the app privacy manifest.
QC Deck does not intentionally collect your unreleased music for advertising or model training. Do not send confidential media in a support email unless support explicitly asks for a specific file through an approved channel.
iCloud Drive and Dropbox
iCloud Drive
When iCloud Drive is available and you choose that workflow, QC Deck watches for supported files placed in the QCDeck Inbox folder, then presents them for guided import. Apple controls iCloud Drive transport and storage. QC Deck’s local import and library data remain subject to the device’s app storage and your deletion choices.
Dropbox
Dropbox is optional. If you connect it, QC Deck uses Dropbox OAuth and stores the resulting credential bundle in the device Keychain. Dropbox access is limited to QC Deck’s own app folder in your Dropbox. QC Deck reads supported audio and session files from that folder and imports them locally. If you choose Save to Dropbox on a report, QC Deck writes that PDF report into the same app folder, next to the session it came from. Nothing else is written to your Dropbox, and nothing is sent to perpetual media ltd. Dropbox’s own privacy terms also apply.
QC Deck’s public Release configuration does not enable hosted report links or hosted comments. If that changes, the privacy policy must be reviewed before the feature is enabled.
Support communications
If you contact Van Horne Studios, the support mailbox may receive your email address, message, app version, device model, iOS version, reproduction steps, and any diagnostic details you choose to include. Support data is used to respond to the request and troubleshoot the product; no response-time promise is made here.
Use the QC Deck support page for the requested troubleshooting details. Please remove client names, unreleased audio, access tokens, and other confidential material before sending attachments.
Retention, deletion, and security
Imported audio, reports, measurements, and revision records are stored in the app’s local data locations until you remove them or delete the app’s data. Source files that remain in iCloud Drive or Dropbox are governed by your actions and those providers’ retention controls. Exact retention periods for support correspondence and any future hosted feature are owner-approved policy decisions, not claims made by this draft.
QC Deck uses platform file protection, Keychain storage for Dropbox credentials, and normal HTTPS connections for provider requests where applicable. These measures reduce risk but are not a guarantee that any system is impossible to compromise.
Your choices and privacy requests
You can choose whether to use iCloud Drive or Dropbox, disconnect Dropbox from QC Deck, remove local sessions and reports, and control files stored in those providers. To ask about access, correction, deletion, or the handling of a support message, email management@vanhornestudios.com with “QC Deck privacy request” in the subject line.
Children
QC Deck is a professional audio tool and is not directed to children. The final age and children’s-privacy wording remains subject to owner and legal review for the jurisdictions where the app is offered.
Changes
When QC Deck’s data behavior changes, this page should be updated before the change ships. The effective date above identifies the version of this policy presented here.
