Privacy policy

Effective July 4, 2026

The short version

Remote Desktop for Ubuntu collects no data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no servers of ours involved. Your desktop stream travels directly between your headset and your own computer.

What the app stores on your headset

  • The address of your Ubuntu machine, so you don't retype it.
  • A pairing certificate created during the one-time PIN pairing, used to authenticate and encrypt every later connection.

Both stay on the device and are removed when you uninstall the app.

Where your data travels

Video, audio, mouse, and keyboard input flow directly between your headset and your computer over your local network, encrypted using the Moonlight protocol. If you choose to set up a VPN such as Tailscale for remote access, traffic flows through the service you configured, under that service's own privacy policy. We never see it.

This website

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It is cookieless, does not identify you, and does not track you across sites — we see aggregate numbers like "how many people visited the changelog," nothing more. The app itself contains no analytics of any kind.

What we never collect

  • Screen contents, audio, or input from your computer
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Identifiers, contact details, or account information

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date, and the change will be noted in the changelog.
