PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: July 8, 2026
Last Updated: July 8, 2026
Welcome to NOCTEM. This mobile application is developed, owned, and operated by Cha0s Magick Labs ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy, but more importantly, we protect it. This Privacy Policy governs your use of the NOCTEM mobile application (the "Application") and outlines exactly how data is handled.
By installing and using this Application, you explicitly agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Application.
1. Scope and Core Philosophy
NOCTEM is a professional-grade, multi-functional Ghost Hunting and Paranormal Investigation Suite. To deliver high-performance environmental analysis, real-time audio filtering, and visual telemetry, the Application requires specific device permissions.
We operate under a strict Zero-Retention, Local-First data architecture. We are in the business of building advanced tools, not collecting, trading, or selling your personal information.
2. Device Permissions and Data Utilization
To function at its core capacity, NOCTEM requires access to the following hardware and software interfaces on your mobile device. These permissions are executed solely for the operational purposes detailed below:
Camera & Image Sensor: Utilized exclusively to render the active visual interface, capture photographic/video evidence during investigations, and feed local frameworks—specifically Google ML Kit Pose Detection—to map and track skeletal anomalies in real-time.
Microphone & Audio Input: Utilized for real-time Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) recording, frequency analysis, and audio filtering algorithms. No ambient audio is recorded or stored without direct user initiation.
Location Services (GPS & Network): Utilized strictly to provide precise geographic telemetry (coordinates) for metadata tagging of your investigation logs, and to calibrate environmental context tools (such as compass/EMF systems).
Local Storage (Read/Write Access): Required to write, save, modify, or delete the media files (photos, audio clips, and videos) that you explicitly choose to capture during an investigation.
3. Data Architecture: On-Device Processing and Storage
We do not want your data, and our infrastructure is designed to ensure we never touch it.
Absolute Local Processing: All computational processing—including high-frequency audio filtering, camera feed analysis, and ML Kit skeletal tracking—occurs entirely on your local device hardware in real-time.
Zero Cloud Harvesting: We do not maintain external servers to harvest, back up, or store your photos, location data, or audio files. Any data generated during your use of NOCTEM remains sequestered on your physical device unless you explicitly and manually export or share it through third-party communication channels.
4. Third-Party Integrations and Analytics
The Application integrates specific third-party software development kits (SDKs) to execute advanced functionalities:
Google ML Kit: Used for local pose detection and visual anomaly tracking. While the core machine learning processing occurs locally on-device, Google may collect certain anonymized diagnostic data, system crashes, and usage statistics to optimize its software performance. This data collection is strictly governed by the Google Privacy Policy, which we encourage you to review.
5. User Autonomy and Control
You retain absolute control over your device's ecosystem. You can grant, modify, or revoke NOCTEM’s access to the Camera, Microphone, Location, and Storage interfaces at any single moment via your operating system’s native application settings.
Note: Revoking these permissions will immediately restrict or completely disable the specific features within the Application that rely on that hardware asset.
6. Children's Privacy and Age Restrictions
NOCTEM is a specialized tool and is explicitly not marketed to, designed for, or intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. Cha0s Magick Labs does not knowingly or intentionally collect personal information from children. If we discover that an individual under 13 has bypassed restrictions, zero data is compiled regardless due to our local-only architecture.
7. Amendments to This Policy
We reserve the right to modify, amend, or update this Privacy Policy at our sole discretion to reflect changes in regulatory compliance or application architecture. Any updates will be made visible immediately by revising the "Last Updated" date at the pinnacle of this document. Your continued use of the Application post-update constitutes binding acceptance of the revised terms.
