Privacy Policy
SharkTTY is built privacy-first: your credentials and connections stay on your device.
SharkTTY - SSH & Mosh Terminal
1. Introduction
SharkTTY ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. SharkTTY is an SSH/Mosh terminal that connects your device directly to servers you control. This policy explains what data the app handles and how it is protected.
2. Credentials & Keys
Passwords, private keys, and passphrases you add are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. Private keys are generated on device and are never transmitted to us. If you enable iCloud sync, these items may sync across your own devices through Apple's iCloud Keychain; they are not sent to our servers.
3. Hosts, Keys & Settings
Your saved hosts, key metadata, scripts, and app settings are stored locally. If you turn on iCloud sync, these lists sync between your devices via your private iCloud account — we do not have access to them.
4. Connection Data
SSH and Mosh traffic flows directly between your device and the servers you connect to. We do not proxy, intercept, log, or store the contents of your sessions, commands, or transferred files.
5. Optional Cloud Account
SharkTTY offers an optional cloud account (email and password) to sync configuration across devices and to power future features. If you create one, your email and a securely hashed password are stored on our server. An account is not required to connect to your own servers, and you can request deletion at any time.
6. Purchases
Optional tips and subscriptions are processed by Apple via the App Store. We never receive your payment card details. Apple's handling of purchases is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
7. Analytics & Advertising
The SharkTTY app contains no third-party analytics SDKs and no advertising. We do not build profiles of you or track you across apps.
8. Your Rights
You can:
- Delete any saved host, key, or script on device at any time
- Disable iCloud sync in Settings
- Request access to or deletion of any optional cloud-account data
9. Children's Privacy
SharkTTY is a developer tool and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with an updated effective date.
