Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to dev-aether-sx-2apk.pantheonsite.io (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains our approach to privacy and data collection.

Simple Truth: We do NOT collect, store, or track any personal information from our website visitors.

We are a download resource that provides scanned APK files for AetherSX2 emulator, game APKs, PS2 BIOS files, and related emulation tools. We believe in complete transparency and user privacy.

What We Do

We provide:

  • Scanned APK Files: AetherSX2 emulator APK files that have been scanned for malware and viruses
  • Educational Content: Guides, tutorials, and information about PS2 emulation
  • Download Links: Direct access to BIOS files and emulator downloads

That’s it. No tracking, no analytics, no cookies, no data collection.

What We Do NOT Collect

From Our Website:

  • No personal information
  • No email addresses
  • No IP addresses
  • No browsing history
  • No cookies or tracking technologies
  • No analytics or visitor statistics
  • No user accounts or registration
  • No payment information (everything is free)

From the AetherSX2 App:

The AetherSX2 emulator operates 100% locally on your device.

  • We do NOT receive any data from the app
  • We do NOT track your gameplay
  • We do NOT access your game files or BIOS files
  • We do NOT collect usage statistics

The app only requires device permissions for local functionality:

  • Storage Access: To read PS2 BIOS and game files from your device
  • VIBRATE: For controller haptic feedback
  • WAKE_LOCK: To prevent screen timeout during gameplay
  • FOREGROUND_SERVICE: To maintain emulation performance

All data stays on YOUR device. Nothing is sent to us or any third party.

Third-Party Services

Our website is hosted on Pantheon (pantheonsite.io). While we do not collect any data, Pantheon may maintain basic server logs for security and technical purposes (such as preventing DDoS attacks). These logs are controlled by Pantheon, not us.

For information about Pantheon’s data practices, please visit their privacy policy.

We do NOT use:

  • Google Analytics or any analytics services
  • Advertising networks
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Third-party cookies
  • Marketing or retargeting tools

Your Control and Rights

Since we don’t collect any data, there’s nothing for us to access, delete, or share. You have complete control:

Website Visitors:

  • No Data Stored: We have no data about you to access or delete
  • No Tracking: Browse freely without being tracked
  • No Cookies: No cookies to manage or opt-out from

App Users:

  • Full Control: All data stays on your device
  • Uninstall Anytime: Simply delete the app from your device
  • Permission Management: Control app permissions through Settings > Apps > AetherSX2 > Permissions
  • Delete Data: All saves, configurations, and BIOS files can be deleted manually from your device storage

Security:

While we don’t collect your data, we still prioritize security:

  • Malware Scanning: All APK files are scanned for viruses and malware before being made available
  • Secure Downloads: We use HTTPS protocol for secure file transfers
  • No Account System: No passwords or login credentials to be compromised
  • Local-Only App: The emulator runs entirely offline on your device

Your game files, BIOS files, and save states never leave your device.

Legal Responsibility

BIOS and Game Files:

Important: We do NOT provide, host, or distribute:

  • PlayStation 2 BIOS files (you must dump from your own PS2 console)
  • Game ROMs or ISOs (you must create backups from games you own)
  • Copyrighted content of any kind

You are solely responsible for:

  • Obtaining PS2 BIOS files legally from your own hardware
  • Creating game backups only from titles you physically own
  • Complying with copyright laws in your jurisdiction

We provide only the emulator software. All content must be legally obtained by you.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

If we ever change our privacy practices (such as adding analytics), we will:

  • Update this page with the new policy
  • Change the “Last Updated” date at the top
  • Clearly notify visitors of any changes

Currently, we have no plans to collect any data. If that changes, you’ll know.
