##The mobile apps
The app talks only to the machines you add, over SSH. Your terminals go between your phone and your machine and never pass through us. There's no sign-in, no ads, no tracking and no analytics.
Dictation runs on your phone. If you pick Apple's or Google's speech engine instead, their privacy policies apply. Speech models download once from huggingface.co and github.com.
The app asks for the microphone when you dictate, and for your photos or camera when you attach an image. An image attached to a message goes to your own machine. An image attached to feedback comes to us.
##Feedback
When you press Send in the feedback form, on your phone or on the desktop, we get your message, your email if you typed one, the screenshots you attached, and the app version, system, device type and herdr-core version. We use it to fix things and to answer you. Please don't put secrets in a screenshot.
##The desktop app
The desktop app sends one anonymous usage report a day, with counts and names from a fixed list, like which agents and layouts you use and how many tabs were open. It never sends terminal content, file names or prompts. You can turn it off in Settings.
The app is open source, so you can check exactly what it sends in the repository.
When releases.herdr.dev serves a download, we count the version, platform and country.

##What we keep
We keep usage reports for 3 months, and feedback until we've dealt with it or until you ask us to delete it. We don't store IP addresses, and we don't sell or share any of this. Cloudflare hosts it for us.
