Effective August 22, 2026 · Version 1.0.0

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what DeskMuse collects, why the information is used, when it may be disclosed, and how you can manage or delete it.

1. Who We Are

DeskMuse is a social app for discovering, creating and sharing desk setups. DeskMuse is the operator responsible for the personal information described in this policy. For privacy requests, email privacy@deskmuse.app. For account or service questions, email support@deskmuse.app.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account and profile information

When you register or sign in, we process your email address, a credential-derived login identifier, user ID and account provider. We do not need your plain-text password to operate the app. Your profile may include your display name, handle, biography, birth year, avatar, cover image, privacy settings and account status.

2.2 Content and social activity

We process desk setup photos and videos, titles, captions, tags, timelines, gear information, product links, drafts, comments, likes, saves and follow relationships. Public profile and public setup information can be viewed by other users. Drafts and other private records are used only to provide the related feature and protect the account.

2.3 Messages and safety information

We process direct messages, conversation records, read markers, hidden-message markers, blocked or restricted user settings, reports and appeals. A message or conversation hidden by one participant may remain available to another participant who owns their own view of that record.

2.4 Purchases and virtual items

If you buy Pixel Coins, we process the selected bundle, price, purchase date, Apple transaction identifier and transaction verification data. We also process wallet credits, gifts, promotion charges and related ledger records. Apple processes the payment and we do not receive your full payment card number.

2.5 Device, technical and local information

We may receive technical information needed to deliver requests, such as IP address, request logs, app version, operating system and error information, if provided by the service infrastructure. The app stores session and preference data locally on your device. We do not use advertising cookies in the mobile app. We only access photos, camera or notifications when you grant the relevant system permission.

3. How We Receive Information

We receive information from you, from your use of DeskMuse, from other users when they interact with you, from Apple when a purchase is completed, and from service providers that host or secure DeskMuse.

4. How We Use Information

We use information to create and secure accounts; provide profiles, feeds, publishing, search, messaging, notifications, gifts and promotions; store and deliver uploaded media; process and reconcile Apple purchases; prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized access; respond to reports and appeals; personalize recommendations and alerts; provide support; and comply with legal obligations.

5. Visibility and Sharing

Public profiles, public setups, comments and other public activity may be displayed to other users. We share information with service providers that host data, store media, deliver notifications, support security or process Apple transactions. We may disclose information when required by law, to protect users and the service, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not sell personal information for money.

6. Payments and Apple

Pixel Coin purchases are processed through Apple App Store billing on supported iOS devices. Apple processes payment and transaction information under Apple's own terms and privacy policy. DeskMuse uses transaction information to credit the correct wallet and prevent duplicate credits.

7. Account Deletion

We retain information only as long as needed to provide DeskMuse, protect users, resolve disputes, maintain financial and safety records, and comply with law. When you choose Delete account in the app, DeskMuse immediately and permanently deletes your account and associated data, including your profile, setups, comments, messages, wallet records, settings and uploaded media, then signs you out. This deletion cannot be undone and the account cannot be restored. You may contact privacy@deskmuse.app about legally available data requests.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export or request deletion of your personal information, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and opt out of certain product emails. We may verify your identity before completing a request. You may also manage photo, camera and notification permissions in your device settings.

9. Adults Only

You must be at least 18 years old, or any higher minimum age required in your country, to use DeskMuse. DeskMuse is not directed to children below that age. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact privacy@deskmuse.app.

10. International Transfers

DeskMuse and its service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so keep your credentials private and report suspected unauthorized access promptly.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when DeskMuse, its data practices or legal requirements change. We will update the effective date and version shown above. Material changes may be presented in the app or through another reasonable notice method.
