METASTAGE LLC PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: October 18, 2019
Metastage LLC (“Metastage,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) makes holographic captures that can be used in virtual, mixed, and augmented reality products. In support of those captures, we offer an app where users can download and interact with content. Collectively, we refer to our products and services, including our mobile apps, platform, and content, as our “Services.”
Because captures made through our Services are often very personal, we take your privacy very seriously. We care deeply about the confidentiality of your projects and your captures, and we want to be completely transparent about the way we handle your personal data. We do not require the use of a login or a registration to use our Services. You can use our Services without providing a name or email address.
This Metastage Privacy Policy details important information regarding the collection, use, processing and disclosure of user information collected about our customers, purchasers, subscribers, and/or users. It explains how we treat information from or about our users, including when and why we collect, use, and share information in connection with our Services. By using the Services you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, so please read it carefully. If you do not agree to our Privacy Policy, please do not use our Services.

We may collect certain data directly from you or automatically via your use of the Services. The data that we collect varies and may involve the following:.
- Access to Camera & Motion Sensor. In order to place your captures, or our demo content in your environment, we require access to the camera. We do not transmit the imagery seen or captured through the camera outside your device. This imagery is sent to you via the screen itself, and if pictures or videos are taken, they are stored on your local device and inaccessible to us. If you choose to share them to social media, or other outlets, these transactions happen outside our Services.

Doing so is completely voluntary on your part, and you have the choice about whether and what information to disclose via your email.
