DaRemote Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 5, 2026 Effective Date: November 5, 2026

Welcome to the DaRemote mobile application (Package ID: com.deskangel.daremote, the “Application” or “DaRemote”), developed and published under the developer name and brand DeskAngel (iDeskangel) (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “Developer”).

We respect and prioritize your privacy and data security. Because DaRemote is designed as a client-side direct-connection server management tool, we do not operate backend relay servers, do not require you to register a developer account, and do not collect, upload, or store your remote server credentials or usage data on our servers.

This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled on your device and when you choose to use optional third-party services (such as Google Drive cloud backup or Google Play In-App Billing). Please read this Privacy Policy together with our Terms of Service.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not operate any proprietary backend servers for DaRemote, and we do not collect, transmit to ourselves, or store any of the following information:

Your remote host IP addresses, domain names, SSH ports, usernames, passwords, SSH private keys, or passphrases;
Terminal inputs/outputs, custom scripts, SFTP files, or server monitoring metrics retrieved from your target hosts;
Advertising identifiers, browsing history, location data, contacts, or third-party behavioral analytics.

2. Local Data Storage and Security

Local Database & Encryption: All server configurations, custom scripts, and credentials you enter into DaRemote are stored locally in the Application’s private storage directory on your device. Sensitive credential fields (such as passwords, SSH private keys, and proxy passwords) are encrypted locally before storage.
Local Biometric / PIN Lock: When you enable the Application lock or credential viewing authentication, DaRemote invokes the operating system’s standard local authentication API (local_auth / Android BiometricPrompt). All fingerprint, face, or system PIN verification is performed strictly by your device’s operating system; DaRemote never accesses, reads, or stores raw biometric data.

3. Optional Third-Party Services and Data Processing

3.1 Google Drive Cloud Backup (User-Initiated Only)

DaRemote provides an optional cloud backup feature allowing you to back up and restore your encrypted local configuration database (daremote.gld) using your personal Google Drive account:

When Triggered: This feature is completely disabled by default and is only activated when you explicitly tap to sign in with your Google Account and initiate a backup or restore operation.
Minimal Permission Scope (drive.appdata): DaRemote requests only the narrow https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata scope via Google Sign-In. This scope only allows the Application to read and write its own configuration backup file inside the hidden Application Data folder (appDataFolder) of your Google Drive. DaRemote cannot view, access, modify, or delete any other personal files or folders in your Google Drive.
Google API Services User Data Policy Compliance: DaRemote’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Your Google Account identifier and OAuth access token are used solely on your device to authenticate directly with Google Drive APIs and are never sent to the Developer.

3.2 In-App Purchases (IAP) and License Verification

Google Play Store Edition: In-app purchases to unlock DaRemote Pro are processed directly by Google Play In-App Billing. We do not collect or have access to your credit card numbers, bank account details, or billing address. The Application only receives non-sensitive transaction status and order identifiers (such as purchaseID / Purchase Token) from the Google Play Billing API on your device to verify and unlock Pro features.

4. Device Permissions Explained

Depending on the features you use, DaRemote may request the following system permissions on your device:

Internet Access (INTERNET): Required to establish direct SSH/SFTP connections from your device to your configured remote servers, verify app store purchase status, and (when enabled by you) communicate with Google Drive APIs.
Biometric Authentication (USE_BIOMETRIC): Used only when you enable PIN/biometric protection to unlock the Application or view sensitive credentials.
File / Storage Access (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / System File Picker): Used only when you proactively download/upload files via SFTP, import an SSH private key file, or export/import a local configuration backup file.

5. Data Retention, Deletion, and Your Rights

Because your data remains under your direct control on your device and (if enabled) in your personal Google Account, you can exercise full control over your data at any time:

Deleting Local Data: You can delete individual host records, SSH keys, or scripts directly within the Application, or permanently erase all local data at any time by clearing the Application’s storage in your device system settings or uninstalling DaRemote.
Deleting Google Drive Backup Data & Revoking Access: You may revoke DaRemote’s access to your Google Account and delete its appDataFolder backup data at any time by visiting your Google Account Third-Party Access Settings.
Statutory Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA / PIPL): Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, or port your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. Because we do not store your personal data on any developer server, if you have any inquiries regarding your statutory rights or order verification records, you may contact us at [email protected].

6. Children’s Privacy

DaRemote is a technical server administration tool intended for adult system administrators and developers, and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect functional adjustments or regulatory requirements. Any revised Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
