Privacy policy

Who is responsible

This website and the NixaniPSN app are made by Nixani. For anything about your data, contact us at [email protected].

This website

No cookies, no tracking

This site sets no cookies and uses no advertising or tracking tools. It doesn't use your browser's storage either, so there is nothing to consent to and no cookie banner.

Anonymous visit counts

To see how many people visit and which pages they read, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, from our hosting provider Cloudflare. It works without cookies and without storing anything in your browser, and Cloudflare states that it doesn't fingerprint visitors by IP address or browser details. For each page view it records the page, the referring site, your country, your browser, operating system and device type, and how fast the page loaded. No visitor is followed across pages or visits, and no profile is built. We only see totals. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in knowing how the site is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). See Cloudflare Web Analytics and Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Server logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. When you open a page or download a file, or NixaniPSN checks for updates, Cloudflare's servers automatically process technical data that your browser sends: your IP address, the date and time, the page or file requested, the referring page, and your browser and operating system. This is needed to deliver the site and to protect it against abuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The host processes this data on our behalf and keeps it only as long as it needs to for these purposes.

Fonts

The site's typefaces are served from our own site, so loading a page makes no requests to font services or other third parties.

Links to other sites

Links to GitHub and other sites take you to services we don't control. Their own privacy policies apply there.

The NixaniPSN app

NixaniPSN runs on your PC. There is no Nixani account, and the app has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting. Apart from the update check below, it sends nothing to us.

Update check

NixaniPSN asks nixani.com for the current version number: one request for a small file, when the app starts and at most once a day while it stays open, never during a stream. The request identifies itself only as "NixaniPSN", with no version number or identifier. Like any web request, your IP address reaches our web host (see Server logs above). Nothing else is sent. You can switch this off in the app under App › About › Check for updates.

The app never updates by itself. Only when you press Update now does it download the new installer from nixani.com, check it against the published size and checksum, and install it.

What it stores on your PC

Everything is kept in %APPDATA%\NixaniPSN and never leaves your PC unless you send it yourself:

• settings.json: your settings, per-game settings and recently played games (name, PSN title id, cover image address, time, console).
• profile.dat: your PSN account id and sign-in tokens, and your linked consoles. Encrypted with Windows so only your Windows account can read it.
• Logs: the current and previous run (console name and local address, stream statistics, errors), and performance logs if you switch them on.
• Your own effect files, and the data folder of Microsoft's embedded browser component (WebView2), which can hold Sony's sign-in cookies.

To remove all of it, uninstall the app and delete that folder.

Who it connects to

• Sony, for PlayStation Network: you sign in on Sony's own sign-in page, shown in a window of the app. Your password goes to Sony, not to the app or to us; the app receives a sign-in code and keeps the resulting tokens on your PC. If you turn on game detection, it asks PSN what you're playing and loads cover art from Sony's image servers. Sony's privacy policy applies.
• Your console: finding, waking and linking it, and the stream itself, go directly between your PC and your PlayStation.
• Internet play: when you play away from home, the app uses Sony's PSN services to find your console and set up the session, public STUN servers to learn your PC's public address, and your router (UPnP).
• Microsoft: the installer downloads WebView2 from Microsoft if your PC doesn't have it. WebView2 is Microsoft's component and may make its own connections, such as its updates.
• GitHub: only when you click a link like "Engine source", in your browser.

If you send us logs with a problem report, we use them only to fix that problem.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and to have it corrected, deleted or restricted, to object to its processing, and to data portability. In practice we hold almost nothing: no accounts, and only anonymous visit totals. Write to [email protected] to use any of these rights. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Children

Our site and apps don't ask for personal data, and aren't directed at children under 16.

Changes

If what we do with data changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
