1. Scope: the current local preview
Chinese Porcelain Archive is a Pattern Provenance project operated by Seymour Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (熙摩实业(上海)有限公司, 熙摩). Its current local preview is labelled Porcelain Atlas. This notice covers that preview, not a released App Store service.
The local preview uses device-only profiles and simulated membership. It does not perform real account sign-in or charge for purchases. Server account, purchase-verification and remote notification services are not activated in this preview.
2. Local information and its purpose
Your local display name, learning preferences, language and appearance choices, saved objects, notes, comparison work, boards, learning history and downloaded content remain on this device. They support learning, personalisation and returning to saved work. Learning records do not automatically sync across devices.
Optional interaction measurements are recorded locally and are not uploaded to an analytics service. The preview does not use advertising tracking or build advertising profiles.
3. Your controls and retention
In My, open the account centre and Privacy & Data to export local data, stop new learning-history or analytics records, or clear learning history. Remove saved work and downloaded content through their own controls. Deleting a local profile does not delete every saved collection; review those separately. Local data remains until removed using these controls or the app and its data are deleted from the device.
Learning reminders are scheduled on the device. Change reminder preferences in the app or notification permission in iOS Settings. We cannot recover or erase device-only records remotely. Exports, shares and device backups are controlled by you and your chosen services.
4. Support and other websites
If you email us, we receive your address, message and any attachments for support. Our existing Zoho email service delivers and stores that correspondence. We retain it only as needed to resolve your request and meet applicable legal obligations, then delete it. Contact us to request access, correction or deletion. Do not send passwords, verification codes or full payment-card details.
Opening a museum source, Apple service or this website creates a separate web request. The destination’s privacy policy applies to that visit. The Pattern Provenance website privacy notice covers this website; local-preview statements do not apply to website traffic.
5. Connected services: preparation only, not active
The following describes the connected version being prepared and checked locally. It is not an active connected service or a completed App Store release. The current local preview does not collect the server data described below.
When enabled, Apple sign-in identifiers, verified purchase records and encrypted authorization tokens will be used to sign in, restore eligible purchases and revoke Apple authorization. Optional content notifications will use an encrypted device notification identifier with your permission. Learning history and saved work will remain on your device.
Apple will provide Sign in with Apple and App Store purchase processing, and Apple Push Notification service will deliver content notifications when enabled. We do not receive your Apple Account password or full payment-card details. These services are separate from the local learning reminders and our Zoho email support.
6. Planned account deletion and retention — not yet enabled
In the connected version, Account Centre → Privacy & Data → Delete account and local profile will let you request deletion in the app. Once the server confirms deletion, the active server account, sessions, purchase associations and notification registrations linked to those sessions will be removed. The local profile will be reset; local saved items will remain. Export or remove saved work separately using its own controls.
Apple authorization revocation may take additional time. The prepared process deletes encrypted revocation tokens as soon as revocation succeeds. If revocation fails, it retries for up to seven days, then deletes the tokens and shows instructions for stopping Sign in with Apple manually. Limited deletion-receipt, revocation-status and replay-prevention records, including a hashed receipt and the associated account identifier, are scheduled for removal after a retention window of up to 30 days.
Deleting the account will not erase purchase records held by Apple or cancel an Apple subscription. Manage subscriptions separately through Apple; account deletion will remain available without waiting for a subscription to end or emailing support.
7. What must be confirmed before activation
The actual backend service providers, processing regions, and retention periods for backups, operational logs and support correspondence still need to be confirmed. Before connected services are enabled, we will publish those details, confirm the deletion and scheduled cleanup processes in the deployed service, and update the App Store privacy disclosures. Local checks do not establish that the live Apple connection has been verified.
This notice covers the current preview and separately identifies preparation for future services. It must not be used as the complete policy for a connected release or to claim that such a release collects no data. The current preview is not a purchase offer.
