Nothing we collect leaves your device — because we collect nothing.

VirtualReactor is a virtualization app for Apple Silicon Macs developed by SektionEins under the S1Apps umbrella. This policy describes how VirtualReactor handles your information. It applies to the VirtualReactor app on macOS.

Summary

VirtualReactor does not collect, transmit, or share any personal or device data. There is no account, no login, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no backend server. Configuration files and virtual-machine images stay on your device.

What VirtualReactor does

VirtualReactor creates and runs guest virtual machines — macOS, Linux, and other operating systems — on Apple Silicon Macs using Apple's Virtualization framework. Virtual-machine disk images and configuration are stored as files on your device, at locations you choose. VirtualReactor itself does not upload, sync, or transmit anything to us or to any third party.

Data we collect

None. To be specific, VirtualReactor does not collect:

• personal information (name, email, phone number, address, age, gender)
• account credentials — there is no account or login
• device identifiers (advertising ID, IMEI, MAC address, IDFA, IDFV)
• IP address, network information, or location
• contacts, calendar entries, photos, or media
• usage analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or diagnostic logs
• the contents of, or any data from inside, your virtual machines
• any other personal or sensitive user data

Data we share

None. We have no data to share. We do not sell, rent, transfer, or disclose user data to third parties — for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or any other purpose — because no such data exists on our side.

About guest virtual machines

VirtualReactor runs operating systems and software that you choose to install. Once a VM is running, the guest operating system and any software inside it can do whatever its own code is programmed to do, including making network connections, contacting remote servers, and transmitting data. VirtualReactor neither controls, monitors, intercepts, nor logs any traffic generated by guest VMs. We cannot predict and are not responsible for what a guest VM transmits — that behavior is governed by the guest operating system, the guest software, and the privacy policies of their respective vendors.

You can configure a VM to run with no network access at all. A VM created without a network device, or with its network device disabled, has no path to the internet and cannot transmit data over the network regardless of what software is installed inside it.

Downloading a VM image — for example a macOS restore image, a Linux ISO, or a vendor-supplied disk image — is a network request you initiate. That request is sent directly from your Mac to the server hosting the image and may reveal your source IP address and basic request metadata to that server, just as any download would. VirtualReactor does not proxy, mirror, or log these downloads — they go straight to the source you selected.

Permissions

VirtualReactor may request access to storage and the file system in order to read and write VM disk images and configuration at locations you choose. Running guest VMs uses Apple's Virtualization framework; depending on the guest configuration, macOS may prompt for additional permissions (for example shared folders, microphone, or camera passthrough). These prompts come from macOS and apply only to the VM you are configuring at that moment.

Third-party services and SDKs

VirtualReactor embeds no advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, and no backend service. VirtualReactor does not connect to any server operated by us. Help and documentation links inside the app open this website and public information resources in your default browser; opening those links is a normal web request from your browser, not a transmission from VirtualReactor.

Children

VirtualReactor does not collect any data from any user, regardless of age, and complies with applicable children's privacy regulations (including COPPA and GDPR-K) by virtue of collecting no data at all.

Data retention and deletion

Because we do not collect any data, there is nothing for us to retain or delete on your behalf. VM images and configuration files are stored on your device. To delete a VM, delete it within VirtualReactor or remove its files using the macOS Finder. Uninstalling VirtualReactor removes the application; VM files saved to your own storage are not affected unless you delete them yourself.

Withdrawing consent

Because we do not collect data and there is no account to deactivate, there is no consent to withdraw on our side. Uninstalling VirtualReactor stops all app activity on your device.

Security

VM images and configuration are stored using the standard local file storage of your operating system. Because VirtualReactor does not transmit your VMs or any other data, transport security and server-side protection are not applicable on our end. Security inside a guest VM is governed by the guest operating system and the software you install there.

International users

The same policy applies worldwide. No data crosses any border because no data is collected.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, an updated version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date. Material changes will be reflected on the app's store listing.
