Privacy policy

In short: SmartRemote has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. It does not send your information to us or anyone else. Everything the app needs is stored on your phone.

What the app stores on your phone

• The TVs you add: their name, brand, platform, IP address and, if you enter it, MAC address.
• Pairing credentials your TVs issue (such as tokens, PINs or certificates). These are kept in the iPhone Keychain or Android Keystore.
• Your button remapping choices.

This information never leaves your phone, except as described below, and is deleted when you remove a TV or delete the app.

Who the app talks to

SmartRemote communicates only with TVs on your local Wi-Fi network: to find them, pair with them and send the buttons, text and app launches you choose. It may send a "Wake-on-LAN" message on your local network to turn a TV on. The app does not contact our servers; we don't have any.

Your TV and its maker handle the commands they receive under their own privacy policies. For example, opening YouTube or Netflix on your TV is the same as opening it with the TV's own remote.

Permissions

• Local network: needed to find and control TVs on your Wi-Fi.

Feedback emails

If you choose Send feedback, the app opens your own email app with a message addressed to us. Before you send it, the message includes your app version, phone model, operating system version, and the brand and platform of the TVs you've added (not their network addresses). You can edit or remove any of it. We use your email only to reply to you and improve the app, and we'll delete it on request.

Children

SmartRemote does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date.
