Privacy Policy

🔒 Information We Collect

ZenMote does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The following data exists only on your device and is never shared:

• TV pairing credentials — cryptographic keys generated during the pairing process are stored in your device’s Keychain. They are used solely to authenticate with your TV and are never read by the app developer or sent off-device.
• Last-connected device — the name and local network address of the most recently paired Apple TV is saved to device storage to enable auto-reconnect on launch.

🏠 Local Network Access

ZenMote requires the Local Network permission to discover TVs on your Wi-Fi network using Bonjour (mDNS) and to open direct TCP connections for sending remote commands.

All communication is point-to-point between your phone and your TV. No traffic passes through any external server, cloud service, or third-party relay.

🚫 No Tracking or Analytics

ZenMote contains:

• No analytics SDKs or telemetry
• No advertising networks or tracking pixels
• No crash-reporting services that phone home
• No third-party frameworks that collect data

No usage data, button presses, or behavioral information is recorded or transmitted anywhere.

🔊 Hardware Volume Buttons

ZenMote listens for changes to your device’s system audio output volume to detect presses of the physical volume buttons and relay them as volume commands to your TV. This is processed entirely on-device in real time. No audio is recorded and no volume data is stored or transmitted.

🔑 Keychain Storage

Pairing credentials are stored using the system Keychain with default accessibility settings. This means they are protected by your device passcode and may sync to your other devices via the device’s encrypted sync infrastructure when enabled. The app developer has no access to Keychain data at any time.

👤 Children’s Privacy

ZenMote does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is fully compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

📋 Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Because the app collects no personal data, no notification to individual users is required for routine updates.
