Privacy Policy
隐私政策
This Privacy Policy describes how SmartRemot ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
SmartRemot is designed with a privacy-first approach. We do not collect or store the following types of information:
- Personal identification information such as your name, email address, or phone number
- Account information or credentials
- Usage data about how you interact with your smart home devices
- Location data
- Device identifiers beyond what is necessary for basic app functionality
- Payment information (handled by Apple's App Store)
2. Information We May Collect
In order to provide the core functionality of the App, we may collect and process the following limited information, all of which remains on your local device or network:
2.1 Local Network Information
The App may scan your local network to discover compatible smart home devices. This scanning is performed locally on your device and does not send any information to our servers. The information collected during this process may include:
- Device names
- Device types
- Local IP addresses
- Device capabilities
This information is used solely to establish communication with your smart home devices and is stored locally on your device.
2.2 App Usage Information
The App may collect limited usage information strictly for the purpose of improving app performance and functionality. This information is stored locally on your device and includes:
- App crash logs
- Error reports
- Basic performance metrics
This information is never sent to our servers unless you explicitly choose to submit a bug report.
2.3 Subscription Information
If you purchase a premium subscription, Apple's App Store handles all payment processing. We do not receive or store your payment information. We may receive limited information about your subscription status (such as whether you have an active subscription) from Apple to provide you with access to premium features.
3. How We Use Information
Any information collected by the App is used solely for the following purposes:
- To discover and connect with smart home devices on your local network
- To provide remote control functionality for your smart home devices
- To maintain and improve the performance and stability of the App
- To provide access to premium features for subscribers
4. Data Storage and Security
SmartRemot employs a local-first architecture, meaning all data processing occurs on your device rather than on remote servers. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the information stored on your device, including:
- Encryption of data stored locally on your device
- Secure communication protocols for device control
- Regular security updates to address potential vulnerabilities
You retain full control over the information stored by the App. You can clear all app data through your device settings at any time.
5. Third-Party Services
The App may interact with third-party services in the following limited circumstances:
5.1 Apple App Store
The App is distributed through the Apple App Store, which has its own privacy practices. We recommend reviewing Apple's Privacy Policy for information about how they handle your data.
5.2 Smart Home Device Manufacturers
The App communicates directly with smart home devices on your local network using standard communication protocols. These devices may have their own privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of your device manufacturers for information about how they handle data.
6. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by updating the effective date at the bottom of this policy and, if necessary, through additional means such as in-app notifications.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
