Privacy policy

HDRiris Capture and HDRiris View are local-first creative applications provided by ASGARD Studio. This policy explains what information the applications use and how it is handled.

Information HDRiris uses

HDRiris uses the camera to capture exposure brackets and motion sensors to guide alignment and record camera orientation. Captured photographs, HDR environments, previews, exports, camera metadata and project information are stored locally on your device. GLB models you import, their embedded textures, generated thumbnails and model metadata also remain on your device.

If you enable Save capture location, HDRiris requests foreground location access once when a new capture begins. The resulting coordinates, date, and any resolved locality and country are saved with that project on your device. Location saving is off by default and can be disabled in Settings.

HDRiris View reads HDR and OpenEXR files only from folders you select. Watched-folder locations, generated previews, lighting analysis, suggested and manual tags, ratings, notes and preferences are stored locally on your computer. Imported GLB preview models are copied into the application’s private local model library.

On-device processing

Your source photographs, HDR environments and imported models are processed on your device. This includes HDRiris View radiance analysis and automatic tag suggestions. ASGARD Studio does not operate an account system, upload service, advertising service or analytics service for HDRiris. We do not receive your photographs, HDR environments, imported models or local project library.

Maps and platform services

When location saving is enabled, the operating system’s geocoding service may process coordinates to obtain a locality and country. When you view a saved capture location, HDRiris may request map content from Mapbox. Mapbox may receive technical request, usage and location-related information under its own privacy terms, and its map attribution control provides access to its telemetry choices. Opening a location in the Maps app is governed by the privacy terms of that maps provider.

When you open the Poly Haven catalog in HDRiris View, the app requests catalog metadata and thumbnails from Poly Haven. If you download an asset, Poly Haven receives the network request needed to provide that file. Opening a file in Blender, Cinema 4D or Unreal Editor passes the selected local file path to that installed application.

Sharing and support

HDRiris shares a file only when you choose an export or system sharing action. The destination you select then handles that file under its own terms. If you contact support, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, device model, app version and problem description, solely to answer your request and improve the app.

Retention and deletion

Local capture projects remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall HDRiris. HDRiris View library metadata and generated caches remain until you remove them or uninstall the application; clearing its cache does not delete source HDRIs. Support correspondence is retained only as reasonably necessary to resolve the request, maintain service records and meet legal obligations.

Children

HDRiris is a professional creative tool and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through an HDRiris account or service because the app has no account service.

Changes

We may update this policy when HDRiris or its service providers change. The current version and its effective date will remain available on this page.
