Privacy Policy — AndroShell

Effective date: January 27, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how AndroShell ("the App") handles information when you use it.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information (Optional)

If you create an account, we may collect:

• Email address
• Authentication status (sign-in/session tokens managed by the authentication provider)
• App data you create
• Connection/target details you save (for example: host, port, username, target name)
• Terminal transcripts and command history (if you enable or use those features)

Credentials

• SSH passwords or private keys that you choose to save (stored encrypted on your device when supported)

2. How We Use Information

We use the information to:

• Provide sign-in and account features
• Save your app settings, targets, and sessions
• Establish the connections you request (for example, SSH to your server)
• Improve stability and fix bugs (for example, crash diagnostics if enabled)

3. Network Connections

The App connects to:

• Servers you configure (for example, SSH hosts you enter)
• Authentication services required for sign-in (if you choose to use account features)

The App does not automatically connect to arbitrary systems. Connections are initiated by you.

4. Storage and Security

• The App stores app data locally on your device.
• Saved credentials (such as SSH passwords/keys) are stored using Android security features (for example, Android Keystore) when available.
• You are responsible for protecting device access (PIN/biometric) and your SSH keys.

5. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not share your personal data with third parties except:

• Service providers required to provide authentication or app infrastructure (only when you use those features), and only as necessary to operate the service
• If required by law

6. Data Retention

Data is stored until you delete it:

• You can remove saved targets, sessions, and transcripts within the app.
• If the app provides "delete account" and "clear local data," using those options will remove associated local data from your device.

7. Account Deletion

You can delete your account directly from within the AndroShell app:

1. Open the app
2. Go to Settings
3. Select Delete Account
4. Confirm the action when prompted

When you delete your account, your account data and associated local data are removed.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Authorized Use

AndroShell is intended for use on systems you own or where you have explicit permission. Do not use the App to access systems without authorization.
