## Summary

PocketDesq lets you view and control your Android phone from a web browser on another device connected to the same local network. The app does not collect, store, transmit to us, or share any personal data. All streaming and control happens directly between your phone and your own device over your local network.
02

## What the app does

PocketDesq streams your phone's screen and audio to a web browser on your local network and lets you control the phone remotely (taps, swipes, typing, and navigation). To do this, the app uses the following Android permissions: - **Screen capture (MediaProjection):** used to capture and stream your screen to your browser. Capturing only occurs while you have explicitly started a session and granted the system screen-capture prompt. - **Audio capture:** used to stream your phone's playback audio to your browser, if you enable audio streaming. - **Accessibility service:** used to perform the taps, swipes, text input, and navigation actions that you send from your browser. It is used solely to carry out your remote-control commands. - **Network access:** used to run a local web server on your phone so your browser can connect to it over your local network.
03

## Data collection and sharing

PocketDesq does **not** collect, store, log, sell, or share any personal or sensitive user data. Specifically: - The screen, audio, and control data are transmitted **only** between your phone and the device you connect from, over your local network. - This data is **not** sent to the developer or to any third party. - The app contains **no** analytics, advertising, or tracking of any kind. - Data captured through the Accessibility service is used in real time to perform your requested actions and is **not** stored or transmitted anywhere beyond your local connection.
04

## Data stored on your device

Some settings (such as your preferences and whether features are enabled) are stored locally on your phone using Android's standard app storage. This information stays on your device and is not transmitted anywhere. It is removed when you uninstall the app. Files you choose to transfer from your connected device are saved to your phone's Downloads folder at your request. The app does not access or transfer any other files on its own.
05

## Security

Connections use a session PIN displayed on your phone, which must be entered in the browser to connect. PocketDesq is intended for use on private, trusted local networks. Because connections on a local network are not encrypted, you should only use the app on networks you trust and not on public or shared Wi-Fi.
