What you want is user specific and application specific I presume (ie you want to store the data your your application, and for the person who is running the application). I guess it's not really temporary (or you wouldn't need a fixed path), but is actually information you would like to keep around, but which is not essential for your application.

That sounds a lot like the definition of a cache: user-specific, app- specific, kept around, but not essential. Consider using ~/Library/ Caches/.

Worth a read: "Where to Put Application Files":
