Welcome to Hey Terminal. Your privacy and the security of your data are our top priorities. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iPad-exclusive terminal application.

1. Data Collection and Usage

Hey Terminal is designed with a "Local-First" philosophy.

• No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) to our servers.
• Connection Data: All server addresses, port numbers, and login credentials (usernames/passwords/SSH keys) are stored locally on your iPad using the secure iOS Keychain.
• No Command Logging: We never collect, log, or monitor your terminal command history or server activities. Your work remains entirely private to you.

2. Third-Party Services

To improve the stability and user experience of Hey Terminal, we use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics for Firebase: We collect anonymous usage data (such as active user counts, session duration, and app crashes) to understand how the app is performing. This data is fully anonymized and does not include your IP address, server details, or any personal information.
• App Store: Apple may collect basic usage statistics as part of the App Store platform, subject to Apple’s own privacy policy.

3. Data Security

We employ industry-standard encryption to protect your stored credentials. Your SSH keys and passwords are encrypted and managed by the iOS Keychain, ensuring they remain inaccessible even if the device is compromised, provided you follow Apple's security best practices.

4. Children’s Privacy

Hey Terminal does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app or legal requirements. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
