Privacy and Data considerations

Where is my data stored?​

XYVR stores all data on your computer.

  • This application does not store your email and password.
  • We store a cookie file and session tokens upon login, if requested.
  • We store your address book in the %APPDATA%/XYVR/ folder.

What servers are called?​

XYVR does not operate any server, and it does not have analytics. The only services are those of the social VR apps.

XYVR has handling for four different social VR applications: Resonite, VRChat, ChilloutVR, and Cluster. Requests are only made to the servers of the corresponding social VR app when you add a connection in XYVR that refers to that app.

Requests are sent directly to the social VR applications from your machine, and the responses are processed exclusively on your machine.

  • We only perform requests to the following URLs:
    • for VRChat accounts: https://api.vrchat.cloud/api/1 (live updates: wss://pipeline.vrchat.cloud/)
    • for Resonite accounts: https://api.resonite.com/ (live updates: https://api.resonite.com/hub)
    • for ChilloutVR accounts: https://api.chilloutvr.net/1 (live updates: wss://api.chilloutvr.net/1/users/ws)
    • for Cluster accounts: https://api.cluster.mu/v1
    • Information from one account is never transmitted to the service of another account (e.g., Resonite account data is never transmitted to VRChat servers, etc.)
  • We fetch thumbnails:
    • for VRChat: from any thumbnail URL provided by the VRChat API.
    • for Resonite: only from URLs which hostname is resonite.com, or any subdomain of resonite.com.
    • for ChilloutVR: from any thumbnail URL provided by the ChilloutVR API.
    • for Cluster: only from URLs that start with https://cluster-file-storage.imgix.net/.
  • There are no requests to any other server.
  • There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no cloud storage.

What is the nature of the requests to those servers?​

XYVR is only interested in building an address book and monitoring live sessions.

  • This application does not modify, add, or remove any data from your VRChat, Resonite, or ChilloutVR accounts.
  • The following requests are for building an address book:
    • Get all of your friends' usernames, bio, links, notes.
    • Get all notes. If someone who has a note is not a friend, then get their username, bio, links, notes.
  • The following requests are for live monitoring:
    • Receive live events regarding user status changes and user sessions.
    • Get the currently active sessions.
    • Get the session of a contact.
    • Get the world of a session and its thumbnail.
    • Get the group name of a session.
  • Typing on the search bar or opening a users' profile in the UI does not perform any API request to the VRChat, Resonite, or ChilloutVR servers.

The following are exceptions to this rule:

  • At your request, the application may submit an invitation to yourself to join an instance (VRChat only).

More details​

  • If you check the "Stay logged in" checkbox, we store your session cookies and tokens in an encrypted file in %APPDATA%/XYVR/.DO_NOT_SHARE__session-cookies.encrypted
  • We store your user ID and real username in %APPDATA%/XYVR/connectors.json , but not your email.
  • We store your address book in %APPDATA%/XYVR/individuals.json
  • We store non-login API requests and responses in %APPDATA%/XYVR/response-collection.jsonl
  • World cache:
    • We store a cache of world names in %APPDATA%/XYVR/.cache_world-names/
    • We store a cache of thumbnails in %APPDATA%/XYVR/.cache_thumbnails/

HTTP requests and live updates:

  • Requests to the VRChat API are done using the url https://api.vrchat.cloud/api/1 at the rate of one request per second on average, except for live sessions (to fetch the player count of an instance) which are at four requests per second.
    • We also use the websocket URL: wss://pipeline.vrchat.cloud/
  • Requests to the Resonite API are done using the url https://api.resonite.com/ at the rate of two requests per second on average, and communication with the SignalR protocol for live updates (https://wiki.resonite.com/API#SignalR).
  • Requests to the ChilloutVR API are done using the url https://api.chilloutvr.net/1
  • There are no requests to any other external services.
    • There is no telemetry, analytics, or tracking of any kind.
  • Information from one account is never transmitted to the service of another account (e.g., Resonite account data is never transmitted to VRChat servers, etc.)

Application startup​

When you start the XYVR application, it will do the following:

  • Create a Windows Registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\XYVR\SessionDataEncryptionKey that contains an encryption key, if it does not exist already.
  • Create the %APPDATA%/XYVR/ folder.
  • Load user preferences from %APPDATA%/XYVR/ui-preferences.json (dark mode, etc.)

Application exit​

When you exit the XYVR application, it will do the following:

  • Save user preferences in %APPDATA%/XYVR/ui-preferences.json (dark mode, etc.)
  • Save %APPDATA%/XYVR/individuals.json

VRChat login​

Requests to the VRChat API are done using the url https://api.vrchat.cloud/api/1

When you connect to your VRChat account using the XYVR application, it will do the following:

备注

The encryption key is stored in the Windows Registry separately from the session cookie file so that if you store or backup your personal data files, the registry key containing the encryption key will not be included.

Resonite login​

Requests to the Resonite API are done using the url https://api.resonite.com/

When you connect to your Resonite account using the XYVR application, it will do the following:

  • Create a Resonite UID and store it in %APPDATA%/XYVR/resonite.uid if it does not exist already.
  • Send an HTTPS request to log in to your Resonite account (https://wiki.resonite.com/API#Creating_a_token) using your username and password with this UID.
  • Upon successful login:
    • The application forgets your typed username and password.
    • If the "Stay logged in" checkbox is checked:
      • Store the session token into an encrypted file in %APPDATA%/XYVR/.DO_NOT_SHARE__session-cookies.encrypted
    • Store your user-id and real username in %APPDATA%/XYVR/connectors.json
    • Send a request to get your user (https://wiki.resonite.com/API#GET_/users/{userId}).
    • Store that user in %APPDATA%/XYVR/individuals.json
备注

The encryption key is stored in the Windows Registry separately from the session cookie file so that if you store or backup your personal data files, the registry key containing the encryption key will not be included.

ChilloutVR login​

Requests to the ChilloutVR API are done using the url https://api.chilloutvr.net/1

When you connect to your ChilloutVR account using the XYVR application, it will do the following:

  • Send an HTTPS request to log in to your ChilloutVR account using your email and password.
    • We will not save your email/username and password into any persistent storage.
  • Upon successful login:
    • The application forgets your typed email and password.
    • If the "Stay logged in" checkbox is checked:
      • Store the access token into an encrypted file in %APPDATA%/XYVR/.DO_NOT_SHARE__session-cookies.encrypted
    • Store the user ID and username of your account information in %APPDATA%/XYVR/connectors.json

Data collection​

When you request a data collection, it will do the following:

  • Make use of the session cookies or tokens stored in memory during the execution of the application (for when "Stay logged in" was not checked), and the session cookies and tokens stored in the %APPDATA%/XYVR/.DO_NOT_SHARE__session-cookies.encrypted file for the following requests.
  • Perform various requests to the VRChat API at the rate of one request per second on average:
  • Perform various requests to the Resonite API at the rate of two requests per second on average:
  • Data collection with the ChilloutVR API is not implemented yet.
  • Write the address book data into %APPDATA%/XYVR/individuals.json.
  • Write request and response data into %APPDATA%/XYVR/response-collection.jsonl.
  • Write a world cache in %APPDATA%/XYVR/.cache_world-names.json so that we don't make repetitive requests to the VRChat API when the app restarts.

Live updates​

Live updates with the Resonite API are done using the url https://api.resonite.com/hub using the SignalR protocol (https://wiki.resonite.com/API#SignalR).

Live updates with the VRChat API are done using the url wss://pipeline.vrchat.cloud/ using the WebSocket protocol (https://vrchat.community/websocket).

Live updates with the ChilloutVR API are not implemented yet.

UI interaction​

When you click on a link:

  • The application will open the link in your default browser, only if the link starts with https:// or http://.
  • Any link that does not start with https:// or http:// is rejected from being opened.
