Privacy is built in.

Remote Desktop is designed so your screen, audio, and controls remain between your own devices.

Privacy Policy · Last updated June 4, 2026

The short version

  • We do not collect, store, sell, or share personal data.
  • There are no Threadmark accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking SDKs.
  • Your screen, audio, and input stream directly between your devices.

How the connection works

Remote Desktop connects your iPhone or iPad to your own Mac or Windows computer using a direct, peer-to-peer WebRTC connection. Screen video, audio, taps, pointer movement, and keystrokes travel straight between those devices. Threadmark does not receive, record, or have access to that content.

Pairing and signaling

To establish a connection, your devices exchange a small amount of technical connection information through your private iCloud CloudKit database under your Apple Account. That data is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy. Threadmark cannot access your private iCloud data. Pairing requires devices signed in to the same Apple Account.

Information we collect

None. The app does not collect personal information and does not include advertising, third-party trackers, or analytics SDKs.

Device permissions

The iPhone and iPad app requests Local Network access only to establish a direct connection to your computer. The Mac host requests Screen Recording and Accessibility access so it can show your display and respond to your controls. These permissions are processed on your own devices.

Children’s privacy

The app does not collect data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
