Chemistry 3D by ORIENTPRO
Privacy Policy
In short: On iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro and Apple Watch, Chemistry 3D does not collect any data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and the app does not talk to any server of ours. On the App Store its privacy label is Data Not Collected.
On Android, Chemistry 3D also has no account and no server of ours, and your problems, photos, scans, recordings, molecules and projects stay on your device. The Android app is free because it shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google’s ads software collects some device data to show and measure those ads. The section Android: ads and Google services says exactly what that involves and how to choose.
What stays on your device
Everything you make and do in Chemistry 3D is stored on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch or Android device: molecules and projects with their versions and notes, lesson and practice progress, calculator history, favorites, recent items and settings. The chemistry engine, the molecule library, the periodic table, the simulations and the calculators all run on the device. Nothing is sent to us, and we have no way to see it.
Deleting the app deletes this data from that device. On Apple devices, Settings › Delete All Data in the app removes every project from the device and, if iCloud sync is on, from your iCloud as well. On Android, you can also clear the app’s storage in Android settings. If backup is turned on in your Android device settings, Android may include the app’s data in your device backup to your Google account; that backup is handled by Google under your account, and we cannot read it.
iCloud sync (Apple devices)
If iCloud is turned on, your projects sync between your Apple devices through your own private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit), and lesson progress through your iCloud key-value storage. This data lives in your Apple Account under Apple’s iCloud terms; only you can read it, and ORIENTPRO cannot access it. You can turn sync off in Settings › iCloud sync; the app then keeps everything on the device only. The Android app does not use iCloud; you can move projects between devices as .chem3d files.
AI explanations
On Apple devices with Apple Intelligence, explanations are written on the device by Apple’s on-device model, using only the numbers the chemistry engine calculated. What you ask is not sent to us or to anyone else. Where Apple Intelligence is not available or is turned off, the app shows curated explanations that are built into the app. You can turn AI explanations off in Settings › Apple Intelligence.
On Android, the Explain panel builds its text on your device from the numbers the app’s own chemistry engine calculated. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Permissions
On iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro and Apple Watch, Chemistry 3D asks for one permission, and only when you use it:
- Photos, add only: so the app can save an image you choose to export. It cannot see, read or browse your photo library.
On Apple devices, Chemistry 3D does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts, calendars or health data, and it does not ask for them. The Android app uses the camera and microphone for its Ask features, only when you use them and only on the device; see Android: ads and Google services.
Files, exports and sharing
Exports (images, PDF study sheets, SVG, SMILES, MOL, SDF, XYZ, PDB, USDZ and CSV files on Apple devices; images, PDF, Word, GIF, video, CSV, molecule files and .chem3d projects on Android) are created on the device and go only where you send them, through the system share sheet or the file picker. Files you open in the app (SMILES, MOL, SDF, XYZ, PDB and Chemistry 3D projects, and on Android also photos, videos, PDFs and Word documents in Ask) are read on the device. “Report an error” and “Contact Support” open your own email app with a message you can review; the app sends nothing by itself. Links to websites open in your browser.
Apple Watch and widgets
The Apple Watch app, its complications and the Home Screen widgets show content from the app on your devices, such as the Element of the Day, the Molecule of the Day and the name of the project you were working on. They collect nothing and send nothing to us.
Purchases
On Apple devices, Chemistry 3D Pro subscriptions and the Lifetime purchase are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. The app checks your purchases on the device with Apple’s StoreKit and never sees your name, payment details or Apple Account. Apple’s privacy policy covers that transaction.
The Android app has no in-app purchases. Items marked as extra are opened by choosing to watch two short rewarded ads.
Android: ads and Google services
This section covers Chemistry 3D on Android phones, tablets and foldables (package com.orientpro.chemistry3d, from Google Play). It does not apply to the Apple apps, which show no ads.
Advertising (Google AdMob). The Android app shows ads served by Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK): native ads in some lists and pages, full-screen ads at natural breaks, an ad when you return to the app, and rewarded ads only when you choose to watch them to open an item. To show, limit, measure and protect these ads, Google’s SDK collects and shares with Google:
- Device identifiers: the Android advertising ID and the app set ID;
- IP address, which can be used to estimate your general location (approximate, not GPS);
- Interactions with ads: ad views, taps and video views, and app launches;
- Diagnostics: app and SDK performance information such as launch time, hang rate and energy use.
This data is sent encrypted (TLS). Google uses it to show and measure ads, for analytics, and to prevent fraud and keep ads secure, as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy. Google’s own disclosure for the SDK: Google Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure.
Text recognition (Google ML Kit). Text you type or paste, photos, videos, scanned pages, PDFs and Word documents you open in Ask, and items you share to Chemistry 3D from other apps, are read on your device with Google ML Kit text recognition, which runs with models built into the app. The images and the text are not uploaded. ML Kit sends Google limited diagnostic and usage information about the text-recognition feature (for example device model, Android version, app version, performance and error codes, with a per-installation identifier); it does not include your images or the text read from them, and it is not shared with third parties. See Google’s ML Kit data disclosure.
Camera, microphone, photos and files.
- Camera (Ask › Scan, Scan Pages, Take Photo, Record Video): used only while you use these features. Pages and photos are processed on your device. Nothing is sent to us.
- Microphone (Ask › Speak, and the sound of a video you record): Speak uses Android’s on-device speech recognition only; if your device has none, the app asks you to use the keyboard’s dictation instead. Audio is not stored or sent to us.
- Photos and files: photos and videos are picked with the Android Photo Picker and files with the system file picker, which give the app only the items you select. The app does not ask for access to your storage or photo library, and it does not ask for your location or contacts.
What Google Play’s Data safety section shows. All of the data below is collected by Google’s SDKs, not by us. It is encrypted in transit, it is not processed ephemerally, and its collection is required (you cannot turn it off, but you can limit ad personalization as described below):
| Data type | Shared | Purposes |
|---|---|---|
| Approximate location (estimated from the IP address; AdMob) | Yes | Advertising or marketing; analytics; fraud prevention, security and compliance |
| App interactions (ad views and taps, video views, app launches; AdMob) | Yes | Advertising or marketing; analytics; fraud prevention, security and compliance |
| Diagnostics (AdMob: launch time, hang rate, energy use; ML Kit: latency, error codes, API configuration) | Yes (AdMob); no (ML Kit) | Analytics; fraud prevention, security and compliance (AdMob); analytics (ML Kit) |
| Device or other IDs (advertising ID and app set ID from AdMob; a per-installation identifier from ML Kit) | Yes (AdMob); no (ML Kit) | Advertising or marketing; analytics; fraud prevention, security and compliance |
Not collected: crash logs, personal information, financial information, health data, messages, contacts, calendar, web browsing history, precise location, photos and videos, audio, and files and documents. There is no account to create.
Your ad choices on Android.
- Consent (European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland and regions with similar laws): before ads load, the app shows Google’s consent form (Google User Messaging Platform). You can accept or refuse personalized ads, and change your choice at any time in Settings › Privacy choices. If you refuse, Google may still show non-personalized ads, which use less data.
- US state privacy laws: where required, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for ads in the same Settings › Privacy choices.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete it in your Android settings (Settings › Privacy › Ads, or Settings › Google › Ads, depending on the device). Once it is deleted, apps receive no advertising ID.
- Ad content is limited to material suitable for a general audience of teenagers (maximum rating PG).
Diagnostics
Chemistry 3D contains no analytics or crash-reporting code of its own. On Apple devices, if you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may pass anonymous crash reports on to us; you can change this at any time in your device’s Privacy & Security settings. On Android, the Google Mobile Ads SDK and ML Kit send Google the diagnostic data described in Android: ads and Google services.
If you write to us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include. We use it only to answer you, we do not add you to any list, and we do not share it.
Children and students
Chemistry 3D is made for learners, including school students. On Apple devices it collects no personal data from anyone, so it collects none from children, and there is no advertising. The Android app is for students aged 13 and older and adults; it is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. We ourselves collect no personal information from anyone; the ad data described above is collected by Google. Neither app has an account, a chat or any way to contact other users.
Your choices
Since we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export or delete on our side. Everything is under your control on your devices. On Apple devices: turn iCloud sync or AI explanations off in Settings, use Delete All Data, or delete the app. On Android: use Settings › Privacy choices or delete your advertising ID to stop ads personalization, and uninstall the app or clear its storage to remove everything it stores on your device. Data that Google collects for ads is kept and deleted under Google’s policies.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top. A change to what the app does with data would also be shown on the App Store privacy label or in the Google Play Data safety section before it takes effect.
