Privacy Policy

Application Name: NVDA Remote Client

Last Updated: June 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how NVDA Remote Client ("we," "our," or "the app") treats user and device data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing total transparency regarding how your data is handled.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

NVDA Remote Client is designed to act as a client bridge between your Android device and an NVDA Remote Access server. We prioritize your privacy by minimizing data collection.

Microphone Data (Audio): The app requests microphone permissions solely to enable the Speech-to-Text Dictation feature. Audio data is captured only when you actively press the dictation button. This audio is processed immediately by the device's native speech recognition engine to convert it to text. We do not store, record, or transmit your raw audio data to any third-party servers.
Keystrokes and Text Input: Text typed on the virtual keyboard or received via physical keyboards (USB or Bluetooth) is transmitted directly over your designated network socket to your specified NVDA Remote server. This data is processed live and is never logged, tracked, or saved by the application.
Clipboard Data: The app accesses your system clipboard only when you explicitly use the Clipboard synchronization features to pass text fragments between your phone and your remote PC. This text is never stored or collected.

2. Data Encryption and Storage

Network Security: All connection data, keystrokes, and clipboard sync strings transmitted between the app and your chosen relay server are encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
Local Storage: If you choose to use the "Saved Connections" feature, your server configurations (Host, Port, and Channel Key) are stored locally on your device. For your security, this data is kept within Android's secure sandboxed storage area (using EncryptedSharedPreferences) and can be optionally protected by a user-defined 4-digit App PIN. This data never leaves your device.

3. Third-Party Services and Infrastructure

Relay Servers: This app operates independently. When connecting, your data travels through the NVDA Remote relay server specified by you in the connection form (such as the public nvdaremote.com server or your own self-hosted private server). We do not own, control, or monitor these relay servers, and your data handling is subject to the privacy rules of the server infrastructure you choose to use.
Google Play Services: The app is distributed through the Google Play Store, which may collect anonymous diagnostic and usage data (such as crash logs) through standard Google Play console protocols to help us maintain app stability.

4. Children's Privacy

This application does not collect any personal information and is fully safe for use by individuals of all ages, including children.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in app functionality or store policies. Any changes will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
