Privacy Policy — TV Remote

Last updated: 2026-05-23

TV Remote is designed to control your own television. It is built to need no account, no servers, and no data collection.

What the app does NOT do

  • It does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to the developer or any third party.
  • It contains no analytics, advertising, or tracking of any kind.
  • It does not require an account or sign-in.
  • Nothing you type or say is sent to us or to any server we control.

Data that stays on your device

To work as a remote, the app keeps the following only on your device (and, where applicable, in the system keychain / app group shared with the home-screen widget):

  • Paired TVs — the name, local network address, and a pairing certificate for each TV you connect to, so the app can reconnect without re-pairing.

This information never leaves your device.

Local network access

The app uses your local network to discover and connect to TVs on the same Wi-Fi (via mDNS and a direct, encrypted connection to the TV). Communication is only between your phone and your TV.

Microphone

When you use voice search, the app records audio only while you hold the voice button and streams it directly to your TV for on-TV voice search. The audio is not stored and is never sent to the developer.

Children's privacy

The app collects no data and is suitable for all ages.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here.
