BH Vector is an editor for the Behringer PRO VS MINI synthesizer – an app for Mac and iPad and an Audio Unit (AUv3) plug-in for music software. It is made by Bronisław Hońca (contact: kontakt@bronislawhonca.pl).

In short: the app has no accounts, ads or analytics. The App Store version does not connect to the internet at all. The version downloaded from the developer's website checks once a day whether a newer version exists (section 1). Everything the app saves stays on your device.

1. What the app connects to

Only to the MIDI devices you choose – the PRO VS MINI synthesizer and optionally a controller keyboard – through the system's MIDI support (USB, or a network MIDI session if you set one up yourself). The app does not send any data over the internet.

The one exception is the Mac version downloaded from the developer's website (not the App Store): once a day it fetches a small file with the latest version number from bronislawhonca.pl, to notify you about an update. It sends no data about you or your device; like any web server, the site's server sees your IP address in its ordinary logs. You can turn the check off in the app menu (“Check Automatically”). App Store versions are updated by the App Store.

2. What the app stores on your device

• settings: selected MIDI ports, channel, MIDI learn assignments, preset names read from the synthesizer,
• your sounds (“My sounds”) and folders,
• SysEx dumps received from the synthesizer (dump library).

Sounds and settings are shared between the app and its plug-in on the same device (a shared app area in the system). Nothing reaches the developer or anyone else. Sound and dump files leave your device only when you export them yourself (“Export”).

3. The plug-in in music software

The plug-in's settings (sound, MIDI ports) are saved by your music software in your project – like the settings of any other plug-in.

4. Purchase

• App Store: the purchase is handled by Apple. The developer does not receive your payment details or Apple Account data. Apple's privacy policy governs how purchase data is handled.
• Version downloaded from the developer's website: the purchase is handled by Paddle (the reseller). The license key you receive by e-mail is stored only on your device and checked offline. Order data (e-mail address, order number) is processed by Paddle and the developer only to send the key and handle the order.

5. What the app does not do

It does not track you across other apps and websites, show ads, use analytics or third-party libraries, or – apart from the update check in the website version described in section 1 – connect to developer servers.

6. Deleting your data

Deleting the app removes its settings, sounds and dumps. Plug-in settings saved in your projects are removed together with the projects.

7. Children

The app does not collect any user data, including data about children.

8. Changes and contact

Changes to this policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Questions: kontakt@bronislawhonca.pl.
