Privacy By Design

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how RemotePC (“the Application”, “we”, “our”) handles information when you use the Android app, Windows listener, and this website.

RemotePC is designed as a local-first remote control solution. All remote control communication occurs directly between your devices over your local network (LAN) and is not routed through external servers.

By using RemotePC, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Data Collection & Processing

RemotePC is built to minimize data processing. We do not collect, store, or transmit personal data to external servers.

What we do NOT collect

• No personal information (e.g. name, email, location)
• No account data (no account system exists)
• No device identifiers or advertising IDs
• No usage analytics or behavioral tracking
• No remote session data leaves your local network

Local data processing

RemotePC processes data locally on your devices only for functionality purposes, including:

• Network communication between your devices
• Input simulation (keyboard/mouse)
• Screen streaming within your local network
• File transfers initiated by the user

This processing does not involve RemotePC servers and is not accessible to us.

Legal basis (GDPR)

Where applicable under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), any minimal processing required for functionality is based on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)), as it is strictly necessary for the core operation of the application and does not override user rights.

3. Permissions (Android)

The Android app requests only the permissions required for core functionality:

• INTERNET — Enables communication with your PC over your local network
• ACCESS_WIFI_STATE — Detects network connectivity status
• READ/WRITE STORAGE (optional) — Used only when you explicitly initiate file transfers
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC — Enables background data synchronization, allowing the Android app to receive files from the user's computer.

Permissions are never used for background data collection, tracking, or profiling.

4. Security

RemotePC is designed with a local-first security model:

• Connections are limited to your local network by default
• No cloud relay or third-party servers are used
• The application does not expose services to the internet unless explicitly configured by the user

You are responsible for securing your local network and any advanced configurations (e.g. port forwarding).

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties.

RemotePC does not integrate with third-party analytics, advertising networks, or cloud services.

6. Data Retention

Since RemotePC does not collect or store personal data, we do not retain user data.

Any data processed during use remains temporarily on your own devices and is controlled entirely by you.

7. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR), you may have rights including:

• The right to access your data
• The right to rectification
• The right to erasure
• The right to restrict or object to processing

However, since RemotePC does not collect or store personal data, these rights generally do not apply in practice.

8. Website

This website does not use analytics, tracking cookies, or advertising technologies.

Basic technical data (such as server logs) may be temporarily processed by the hosting provider for security and operational purposes (e.g. preventing abuse or diagnosing issues).

9. Children’s Privacy

RemotePC is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction).

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in functionality, legal requirements, or improvements to the service.

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
