Data Safety

Last updated: 6 October 2026 · Companion to our Privacy Policy

What "limited data" actually means

We do not collect your name, phone number, email address, or anything that identifies you personally. Think of it like casting a vote: the system can count how many people tapped a button, but it has no way of knowing who you are. This usage information (screen views, feature taps) goes straight from your phone to Google Analytics, the tool we use to see which parts of the App are actually useful. It does not pass through us first, and we cannot look up an individual person from it. The advertising identifier works the same way, going to Google AdMob so it can choose which ad to show, without telling anyone who you are. The Meta SDK reports installs and app opens, with the Advertising ID, so we can tell which of our Meta ad campaigns brought people to the App.

Data not collected

Name, email address, phone number, physical address, financial or payment info, precise or approximate location, contacts, photos or videos, files/documents, calendar, health/fitness data, messages, browsing history, and search history are not collected by the App.

Data processed only on-device

Macros, shortcuts, tags, and app settings are stored locally on your phone using Android's standard app storage. They are never uploaded to us. A macro file is only shared if you personally choose to export and send it.

All data is optional to functionality?

The App's core function - pairing with your PC over Bluetooth and sending keyboard/mouse input - works fully without analytics or advertising being able to identify you personally. Analytics and advertising identifiers support the free, ad-supported business model, not the core feature.
