The MWorks Project

Privacy Policy

The MWorks applications (MWClient and MWServer on Mac, the MWorks app on iPad) do not collect any user data. Data files generated by experiments are stored locally on the device and are never transmitted anywhere by the MWorks applications.

Network Usage

When MWClient connects to an MWServer instance running on a different Mac, or to the MWorks app running on an iPad, it communicates via unencrypted TCP/IP connections. The security of the data sent via these connections therefore depends on the security of the network over which they travel. If the intervening network is open to the public Internet or otherwise insecure, the data transmitted between MWorks applications may be intercepted and collected by a third party.

Third-Party Services

The MWorks website, including the online user manual, and the MWorks issue tracker are hosted on GitHub. You can view GitHub’s privacy policy at
