⚠️ StratoSync does not sell personal data, use advertising tracking identifiers, or use personal data for cross-app tracking. Limited location, spatial, accessory, and SharePlay-related data may be processed only when needed for app functionality.

Overview

StratoSync is an Apple Vision Pro spatial computing application that combines environments generated at runtime, Earth lighting computed from the Sun’s current position, and live International Space Station telemetry.

The app fetches public ISS telemetry from https://api.wheretheiss.at at the update frequency selected in Settings (5, 10, or 15 seconds; default 5 seconds) and uses that data to render the ISS position, altitude, speed, orbital presentation, and related visual state.

StratoSync may also use Apple platform features such as foreground location, world tracking, room tracking, SharePlay, and supported spatial stylus input when the related features are used.

Data Use & Network Services

• ISS telemetry: StratoSync fetches public ISS latitude, longitude, altitude, velocity, and timestamp data from api.wheretheiss.at.
• Location: If permission is granted, StratoSync uses When-In-Use location access to compare your current position with the ISS and calculate proximity information on your device. Your coordinates are not included in ISS API requests or SharePlay messages.
• Spatial and room data: World Tracking and, where supported, Room Tracking may be processed on-device to place immersive content and provide best-effort wall-proximity assistance while full immersive environments hide passthrough.
• Accessory input: Supported spatial stylus input may be processed on-device for 3D drawing, annotation, and related interaction when the stylus feature is enabled.
• SharePlay session data: During a SharePlay session, StratoSync exchanges public ISS telemetry, its timestamp, and a randomly generated sender identifier between participants through Apple’s GroupActivities service. Each device calculates its own 3D presentation from the shared readings.
• App preferences: Preferences are stored locally in UserDefaults. The selected environment and its controls are saved; whether a generated environment is currently active is session-only and is not automatically restored.
• No account creation or authentication is required.
• No advertising tracking is used.
• The current app does not integrate a third-party analytics SDK or a dedicated third-party crash-reporting SDK.
• Location data is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.
