Privacy policy

This policy describes MikeyVNC for iPhone and iPad, published by Michael Ceber.

Direct connections

The app connects to the computer you specify. There is no MikeyVNC cloud relay, account, advertising SDK, analytics SDK or automatic diagnostic upload. Desktop images and received clipboard contents stay in memory during the session.

Information on your device

The app saves connection names, addresses, ports, Mac usernames, preferences and last-connected times locally. Passwords are saved separately in Keychain using device-only access while unlocked. Remove a saved Mac to delete its connection metadata and password. Local connection metadata may be included in device backups managed by the operating system.

Data sent to your computer

Authentication information, pointer actions, keystrokes, password fills and clipboard commands go to your selected server. Classic VNC does not encrypt the later desktop/input stream. Use a trusted network or VPN. The app does not enable or verify Tailscale, and the user is responsible for choosing a trusted server.

Password assistance

Password entry and optional automatic unlock use on-device recognition of the visible lock screen. Images and recognized text stay in memory and are never logged or uploaded.

Local diagnostics

Basic events and verbose details (enabled by default during development; switch off in Diagnostics) include app/OS versions, timestamps, random attempt identifiers, connection stages, network flags and error codes, protocol information, display dimensions, sampled frame timing and action categories. Reports exclude passwords, usernames, Mac names and addresses, typed text, clipboard contents and screen images.

Rolling logs are limited to about 512 KB, protected while the device is locked and excluded from backups. Files older than seven days are removed when the logger starts. Up to three exported reports are retained; exports older than 24 hours are removed on launch or export. Clear logs removes app-owned log/report files.

Sharing and support

Sharing a report sends it only to the destination you choose. Copies saved or sent elsewhere are controlled by that destination. If you contact support, the recipient receives the message, contact information and attachments you choose to send. Support email is received through Gmail and used to respond to your request. You can email the same address to ask about or request deletion of correspondence you have sent.

Other services

Apple, your remote computer, network/VPN provider and any external service you open or share with have their own policies. This static website adds no advertising, cookies, forms or analytics scripts. Cloudflare may process connection information such as IP addresses and request logs to serve and protect the site. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
