Privacy Policy
DeckTerm is an SSH terminal for iPhone. It collects no personal data. This policy explains what the app keeps on your phone, what leaves it, and how this website and support email work.
In short
- No accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking.
- No servers of the developer's own. The app connects only to the SSH servers you add, directly from your phone.
- No third-party SDKs, other than the open-source libraries listed on the licenses page, none of which send data anywhere.
What stays on your phone
Everything the app stores is kept on your iPhone:
- Your saved devices (name, address, port and user name), pinned host key fingerprints, snippets, and your theme and font choices are kept in the app's own storage on the phone.
- Passwords and your private key are kept in the iOS Keychain, marked this-device-only. They are not synced to iCloud Keychain and are not moved to another phone.
None of this is sent to the developer or anyone else. The only network connections the app makes are the SSH connections you start, and App Store purchases handled by Apple.
Backups you make
You can export a backup file that holds your devices, pinned host key fingerprints, theme, font and snippets. Passwords and the private key are never included. Exporting is always your decision, and where the file goes (Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop or anywhere else) is your choice. Once saved there, the file is handled under that service's terms. The developer never receives it.
Apple device backups
Apple's own iCloud or computer backups of your iPhone may include the app's settings, under Apple's terms. Keychain items marked this-device-only cannot be restored to a different phone.
Tips
The optional tips are In-App Purchases processed by Apple. The developer never sees your name, payment details or Apple ID, and only receives Apple's aggregate sales reports.
Local network permission
iOS may ask to let DeckTerm find devices on your local network. This is used only to reach SSH servers on your network that you add.
