Remote Desktop privacy

Privacy is built in.

Your screen, audio, and controls remain between your own devices. Threadmark cannot see or store your remote session.

Last updated July 1, 2026

The short version.

  • Threadmark does 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 between those devices. Threadmark does not receive, record, or have access to that content.

Discovery 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.

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.
