PhoneShell Privacy Policy

Transparent handling of data for mobile-to-desktop shell access.

POLICY Last updated: March 26, 2026 Applies to: PhoneShell mobile app

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how PhoneShell handles information when you use the mobile app to connect to your PC or relay servers you choose. The app is designed for remote shell access and QR-based pairing.

Information We Process

  • Device and app info: device model, OS version, and app version for basic functionality.
  • Connection info: server address, group ID/secret, and pairing metadata needed to connect.
  • QR code data: content of QR codes you scan to establish a connection.
  • Usage preferences: language choice and connection history stored locally on your device.
  • Terminal content: commands, output, and session data transmitted between your phone and the servers you connect to. This data is required to provide the service.

How We Use Information

  • Establish and maintain secure connections to your selected servers.
  • Display terminal sessions in real time on your phone.
  • Remember your preferences and recent connections.

Permissions

Camera: used only to scan QR codes for pairing. We do not take photos or videos.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. Information is transmitted only to the servers you choose to connect to (for example, your own PC or a relay server). We may disclose information if required by law.

Data Retention

Preferences and connection history are stored locally on your device until you clear app data or uninstall. Terminal data is processed for real-time sessions and is retained based on the server you connect to.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect data in transit and at rest on your device. No system is 100% secure. We recommend using trusted networks and servers.

Your Choices

  • Revoke camera permission in Android system settings.
  • Clear app data to remove local history and preferences.

Children's Privacy

PhoneShell is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
