Atoms-World for iOS — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 September 2026
Atoms-World is published by Alexandre Tkatchenko, 8 Rue Jean Fries, 3321 Berchem, Luxembourg (the "Licensor", "we") and developed by Igor Poltavskyi, Sergio Suárez-Dou, Miguel Gallegos Gonzalez and Alexandre Tkatchenko as a private, independent project. This policy explains what the App does with information on your device.
In short
The App collects no personal data. It has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no crash-reporting tools of its own. Every simulation runs on your device. Nothing you do in the App is sent to us or to anyone else.
Device permissions
The App asks for one device permission:
- Microphone — only while Listen to music is on in Sounds of Nature, so the molecule can move to music playing nearby. iOS asks for your permission first.
Sound heard through the microphone is analysed on your device in real time to drive the molecule's motion, and is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. You can refuse or withdraw this permission at any time in your device settings.
Stored on your device
The App keeps your settings (language, game options, a YouTube link you entered) on your device only. Deleting the App deletes them.
YouTube
If you paste a YouTube link in Sounds of Nature, the video plays in YouTube's own embedded player and is streamed from Google's servers. Google may then process data under its own terms and privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). We receive nothing from it. If you never use this option, the App makes no network connection.
Information from Apple
If you have chosen in your device settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with crash reports and usage statistics about the App. Apple handles this under its own privacy policy, and you can turn it off at any time in your device settings.
Emails you send us
If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use them only to reply to you, based on our legitimate interest in answering your request (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), and we keep them only as long as needed for that.
Links
The About screens contain links (the SO3LR article and code). They open in your browser; the websites' own privacy policies apply.
Children
The App is suitable for use in education. It collects no data from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Apart from emails you send us, we hold no personal data about you. If you have written to us, you can ask us to access, correct or delete that correspondence. You also have your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation and may lodge a complaint with the Luxembourg data-protection authority (Commission nationale pour la protection des données, https://cnpd.public.lu).
Changes and contact
We will publish any change to this policy in the App and at https://atoms-world.online/privacy. Questions: contact@atoms-world.online.

Device permissions
The App asks for these device permissions:
- Microphone — only while Listen to music is on in Sounds of Nature, so the molecule can move to music playing nearby. Android asks for your permission first.
- Music from other apps (Android 10 and later) — only while you use this Sounds of Nature option: Android's own capture consent lets the App hear the sound other apps play. The screen is never captured. A notification with a Stop button is shown while it runs.
- Notifications — only for that ongoing "listening" notification.
- Vibration — haptic feedback in the games.
- Internet — only to play a YouTube video you choose in Sounds of Nature.
Sound heard through the microphone or captured from other apps is analysed on your device in real time to drive the molecule's motion, and is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. You can refuse or withdraw any permission at any time in your device settings.
