Phone PC Remote – Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 4, 2026

This policy explains how the Phone PC Remote Android app (package dev.phonepcremote.app) and its Windows and Ubuntu companion apps handle your information. Phone PC Remote is developed by Ivan Nikolenko (“we”, “us”).

Summary

• No accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.
• Remote control, files, clipboard, camera and screen mirroring go directly between your phone and your own computer or TV on your local network. They do not pass through our servers.
• We do not sell or share your personal data.

Information that stays on your devices

• Trackpad, keyboard and media input is sent from your phone to the computer or TV you paired with. It is not stored or sent anywhere else.
• Pairing data (device names, network addresses and security keys for trusted PCs and TVs) is stored on your phone in encrypted app storage and on your computer. You can remove a paired device at any time.
• Files you choose to send, and files you browse in a folder you share from your PC, are transferred only between your phone and that PC over an encrypted connection.
• Clipboard text is transferred only between your phone and your paired PC. Received text is hidden by default and kept only until the app closes.
• Camera: when you use your phone as a webcam, the video is streamed only to your paired PC. We do not record or receive it.
• Screen mirroring: your PC screen is streamed only to your phone over your local network.
• Settings such as pointer speed, scrolling and app lock are stored only on your phone.

Permissions

• Network and Wi-Fi state, multicast – to find and connect to your computer and TV on your local network.
• Camera – only to scan pairing QR codes and, if you choose, to use your phone as a webcam for your PC.
• Notifications and foreground service – to keep an active connection running and show its status.
• Biometrics – for the optional app lock. Fingerprint and face data are handled by Android and are never accessible to the app.
• Vibration – for haptic feedback.

Purchases (Pro)

Pro is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Google Play. We do not receive your payment details. To confirm a purchase, the app sends the Google Play purchase token to our verification service, which checks it with Google and returns whether Pro is active. The token is used only for this check and is not used to identify you, stored for other purposes or shared. Google’s handling of purchases is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.

Smart TVs

When you control an LG, Samsung or Google TV / Android TV set, commands are sent directly from your phone to the TV on your local network. Pairing keys for the TV are stored on your phone.

Children

Phone PC Remote is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Security

Connections between your phone and your computer use TLS encryption with QR-code pairing, and unpaired devices cannot send input to your computer. Sensitive data on the phone is kept in Android encrypted storage.

Your choices

You can remove paired devices, clear clipboard history, and delete all app data by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage in Android settings. Because we do not keep personal data on our servers, there is no account data to delete.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
