Privacy Policy for deepEnd

Last updated: November 14, 2026

deepEnd is an immersive swimming experience for Meta Quest, developed by James Park ("I," "me," or "the developer"). This policy describes the information processed by deepEnd and how to contact me about privacy.

Information deepEnd processes

deepEnd uses hand tracking to recognize swimming strokes, hand gestures, and menu interactions. While the app is running, it receives hand-joint positions and related tracking information from the Meta Quest operating system through OpenXR. deepEnd processes this information on the headset to control the experience. It is used transiently during play and is not saved by deepEnd as a hand-tracking history or associated with an identity.

The app also uses the headset's tracked position and orientation to place the view and operate the experience. It does not directly access the headset cameras, microphone, contacts, precise location, or Meta account profile. The Quest build does not request Android internet, camera, or microphone permissions, and the app has no developer-operated service or app networking feature for sending information off the headset.

Meta Quest and platform services

Hand tracking and other headset functions are provided through Meta Quest, its operating system, and the OpenXR runtime. Those platform components may process device, sensor, account, diagnostic, or usage information under Meta's own policies and controls. This policy covers deepEnd's handling of information; it does not replace Meta's privacy information or describe platform-level processing in full. Please review Meta's Privacy Policy and the privacy settings on your headset for details about Meta's handling of that information.

The project uses the OpenXR vendor integration and Meta's hand-tracking aim extension. It also includes some Meta UI sample artwork. I have not configured deepEnd to send data to Meta or another service, but platform-level processing is controlled by Meta as described above.

I do not operate a deepEnd account system, analytics service, advertising service, or server that receives or stores player information. deepEnd does not intentionally transmit hand tracking, headset tracking, or gameplay information to me or another third party. Hand-tracking information is used in memory while the experience runs and is not retained by deepEnd after it is no longer needed for the current session.

I do not sell or share personal information collected by deepEnd because deepEnd is not configured to collect or transmit it.

Your choices and deletion

You can stop deepEnd from receiving hand-tracking information by disabling hand tracking or closing the app; hand tracking is needed for the intended hand-controlled experience. You can remove deepEnd and its app-local data using the app management controls on your headset. Any information handled by Meta's operating system or platform services is subject to Meta's policies and should be managed through Meta's privacy controls.

I do not keep player information on developer-operated servers. If you believe deepEnd has stored personal information about you, email me at jamespark98@gmail.com and identify the information or build involved. I will review the request and delete any personal information under my control, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Changes to this policy

If deepEnd's data practices change, I will update this policy and its revision date. The current version should be available at the same public URL where this policy is published.
