This website

The site has no analytics and no advertising trackers, and its own pages set no cookies. Two forms load a script from outside the site, and only on their own pages: the beta sign-up on the home and download pages, and the spam check of the feedback form.

Beta sign-up

The beta sign-up form is provided by Aetheler Labs' beta service at beta.aethelerlabs.com. When you sign up, with your consent, it stores:

• your email address;
• your name, if you give it;
• the systems you use;
• what you would use PanoRyse for, if you say;
• the page you signed up on, and your country.

It does not store your IP address. We use these details only to send beta testers their beta licence and the download. To have your details removed, write to contact@aethelerlabs.com or support@panoryse.com from the email you signed up with.

Feedback form

The feedback form stores what you type (type, title, details, version and your email if you give one) and the time it arrived, in a database at Cloudflare that only PanoRyse support can read. It does not store your IP address. Your email is used only to reply about that message. The spam check is Cloudflare Turnstile, which loads only when you start filling in the form, under Cloudflare's own privacy policy. To have a message deleted, write to support@panoryse.com with its title and the day you sent it.

The PanoRyse program

• Your photos stay on your computer. PanoRyse never uploads them.
• Online services (maps, terrain, catalogues, satellite data, AI providers) are contacted only when you ask. Each request carries the program's name and version and what it needs, such as the place or the part of the sky you asked about. Credits and data sources lists every service.
• The licence check, once a Pro licence is active and the licence server is switched on, runs at most every 20 days. It sends the licence ID, a hash of a random value made when PanoRyse was installed, and a one-time number.
• API keys for AI providers stay in memory and are not saved. A cloud model's request to read or write a file waits for your Allow or Deny.
• The optional blind plate solver (astrometry.net) is off until you turn it on. It is sent a list of star positions; a picture is sent only if you choose that too.
