Privacy Policy – sRemote

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how sRemote ("the app", "we", "us") handles information when you use the sRemote iOS app. sRemote is built to work entirely on your own local network and collects as little information as technically possible.

By using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information the app stores:

Pairing token: issued by your own TV when you accept its on-screen pairing prompt. Stored in the iOS Keychain, on this device only — never synced to iCloud or any server.
Your list of remembered TVs (name, local IP address, and MAC address you enter): stored locally on your device only, never transmitted anywhere by us.
A random free-trial identifier (a generated ID plus a start date — no personal information): stored in the iOS Keychain and, optionally, your own private iCloud (CloudKit) storage, solely so your trial status survives a reinstall or new device.
Purchase status: handled entirely by Apple's App Store (StoreKit); we only ever see whether your purchase entitlement is active, never any payment details.

Explicitly not collected: no account or sign-in, no name, email, or phone number, no analytics, no advertising identifiers, no crash reports, no usage tracking of any kind. sRemote contains no third-party SDKs — only Apple's own frameworks.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information above solely to:

Remember your TV(s) so you don't have to re-pair every time
Track free-trial eligibility
Verify your purchase via Apple

Nothing is used for advertising, analytics, or profiling — because nothing like that is collected.

3. Data Storage & Third-Party Services

sRemote's developer has no server, no database, and no access to any user's private CloudKit data or Keychain contents. Everything below either stays on your device or lives in infrastructure that Apple or you yourself control:

Service	Purpose	Data involved
Apple iCloud (CloudKit, your private database)	Optional backstop so your free-trial status survives reinstalls	A random trial ID + start date, stored in your own private iCloud account
Apple App Store (StoreKit)	Processing the one-time in-app purchase	Purchase/entitlement status only
Your Samsung TV (local network)	Sending remote-control commands	Sent directly, locally, over your own Wi-Fi network — never routed through any server we operate

4. Data Retention

Keychain and on-device data persist until you delete the app or manually clear it in Settings → Manage TVs. The optional CloudKit trial record persists in your own iCloud account until you delete the app data or disable iCloud for the app — this is controlled entirely by you, through Apple's own device settings.

5. Your Rights

Because there is no account and no server-side data, most data access/deletion requests are trivially satisfied: deleting the app removes all on-device data immediately, and the pairing token, TV list, and local storage are gone with it. Optional CloudKit data can be cleared via your device's own iCloud/App storage settings at any time. If you contact us about this, we'll acknowledge that we have no way to access or act on this data ourselves — you are the only one who can, through your own device.

Depending on your location, this generally means:

Right to know: this policy already describes everything the app stores, in full
Right to deletion: deleting the app deletes all on-device data; clearing iCloud settings removes the optional CloudKit backstop
No sale of data: we don't sell or share data, because we don't hold any to sell

6. Cookies and Local Storage

Not applicable — sRemote is a native iOS app, not a website, so there are no cookies. The on-device equivalent (Keychain and local device storage) is described in Section 1 above.

7. Security

Keychain items are stored with after-first-unlock, this-device-only protection — not synced via iCloud Keychain
Communication with your TV happens over your local network only, using Samsung's own remote-control protocol
Purchases are processed entirely through Apple's StoreKit
There is no server operated by us, so there is no server-side breach surface for your data

8. Children's Privacy

sRemote is not directed at children. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, regardless of age, there is nothing further to disclose here.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
