Privacy Policy of AndroMeld for Android

1. Data used by the app

Local use does not require an account. Files, screen content, clipboard, camera, and audio are accessed to provide the features you enable for an authorized Mac or browser.

If you sign in with Google for optional remote relay service, Firebase Authentication supplies an account identifier, display name, and email address. The service stores these with your relay entitlement and last active time. Google Play purchase tokens, product identifiers, credited traffic, and purchase times are stored to verify traffic purchases and prevent duplicate credit.

2. Connections and remote relay

The browser downloads its interface from AndroMeld’s website. Connection codes and signaling services help the browser and phone establish an authorized connection. A new browser connection requires approval on the phone.

Local and direct peer connections carry session content between your devices. When configured, a relay forwards encrypted connection traffic. The account relay uses Cloudflare TURN. You can instead configure your own relay server, whose operator has its own data handling.

The relay service records issued credentials, expiry times, and traffic usage to enforce your allowance. Expired credential records and traffic usage records are cleaned up after 90 days. This is separate from account and purchase records.

Paired clients are listed on the phone, where you can revoke their access.

3. Permissions and device access

File access supports browsing and transfer. App-list access supports search and launch. Notification access supports synchronization and available reply actions. Bluetooth and network access support discovery, pairing, hotspot controls, and authorized connections.

Activated AndroMeld components use Android shell privileges for screen control and supported camera, microphone, widget, and call features. These privileges are granted through the activation flow. Device and Android-version restrictions still apply.

4. Activation

Activate AndroMeld through Android’s Wireless debugging, an authorized USB connection, or Shizuku. The Mac app and supported desktop browsers can guide USB setup. Shizuku is optional and is a separate third-party app.

Activation runs AndroMeld’s device components. Keep connection codes and authorization credentials private.

5. Working with the Mac app

The same phone app supports AndroMeld for Mac. Connections can use USB, a local network, or remote access. The Mac privacy policy describes Mac diagnostics, permissions, recordings, and MCP access.

6. Service providers

Optional relay accounts use Google sign-in through Firebase Authentication. Google Play processes relay traffic purchases. Cloudflare provides signaling infrastructure and the account relay. These providers process the information needed to deliver those services.

This website uses Firebase Analytics to measure visits and download actions. Website analytics does not receive your screen, clipboard, or transferred files.

7. Retention and deletion

Settings and paired-client authorizations are stored on the phone. Revoke clients in the app to remove their access. Uninstalling the app removes its local app data, but does not delete a remote relay account or purchase records.

To request deletion of an optional relay account, contact the developer at the address below using the email associated with that account. Signing out alone does not delete it. Files saved outside the app remain in their saved locations.

8. Security

Network sessions are authenticated and encrypted. Devices and browsers must obtain authorization before accessing the phone. Remote access does not require both devices to be on the same local network. Relay service transports encrypted traffic rather than maintaining a copy of your files or screen.

9. Children

AndroMeld is a utility for managing your own device and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, regardless of age.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page and take effect when posted, so please review it periodically.
