Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026. Draft: to be reviewed before the store opens.
This policy covers the Local Upscale Studio app and this website. It is published by David Balderston, an independent developer.
The app
The app processes your photos and videos on your Mac. Your files are never uploaded to us or to anyone else.
- No account.
- No analytics or advertising SDKs.
- No tracking across apps or websites.
If the app downloads extra model files after you install it, those downloads contain no information about your photos or videos.
Buying
Polar is the merchant of record for every purchase. It collects your payment details, works out the sales tax or VAT that applies, and sends your receipt. Its own privacy policy covers that processing. We never see your full card number.
When you buy, the merchant of record shares with us your name, email address, country, order details and licence key. We use them to deliver the app, to send updates about your purchase, to handle refunds and support, and to keep the records tax law requires. We do not sell them or use them for advertising.
Licence keys
The current app does not check your licence key online. If a later version does, it will send only the key and an anonymous identifier for your Mac, and we will update this page first.
This website
The site does not use cookies for tracking or third-party analytics. It is hosted on Cloudflare, which keeps standard request logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability. The checkout opens on the merchant of record's pages, which have their own cookies and policy.
If you write to support, we keep your messages so we can help you. Ask us at any time to delete them.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, except where tax law requires us to keep order records. Email the address below.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
