Remote Desktop · Last updated June 4, 2026
Remote Desktop is built so that your data stays yours. We do not run a server that collects, stores, or sees your information. This policy explains what that means in plain terms.
Remote Desktop connects your iPhone or iPad to your own Mac or Windows computer using a direct, peer-to-peer connection (WebRTC). The screen video, audio, and your taps and keystrokes travel straight between your two devices. We never receive, record, or have access to any of that content.
To set up a connection, the two devices exchange a small amount of technical connection information ("signaling"). This is done through your own private iCloud (CloudKit) database under your personal Apple Account. It is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. We have no access to your iCloud data. Pairing only works between devices signed in to the same Apple Account, so no one else can connect to your computer.
None. The app does not collect personal information, does not contain advertising or third-party trackers, and does not use analytics SDKs.
The app requests Local Network access on your device. This is used only to establish the direct connection to your computer. It is not used to gather information about your network or other devices.
The app does not collect data from anyone, including children under 13.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
