Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2, 2026
This policy explains how the TV Remote: Universal Remotes app (“the app”) handles information. The app has no user accounts and we do not run servers that receive your data.
Information that stays on your device
- Your TVs: the app finds TVs on your local Wi‑Fi network and stores their name, IP address and pairing keys on your iPhone so you don’t have to pair again. This data is never sent to us.
- My Buttons and settings: buttons you create and your preferences are stored on your device and shared only with the app’s own Home Screen widget.
- Local network: remote commands go directly from your iPhone to your TV over your home network.
Voice commands
When you tap the microphone, your speech is converted to text by Apple’s Speech Recognition service, which may process audio on Apple’s servers under Apple’s privacy policy. The app only uses the resulting text to control your TV and does not store or send recordings to us.
Advertising
The app is free and shows ads provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as the Advertising Identifier, with your permission), approximate location derived from IP address, and ad interaction data to serve and measure ads. You can allow or deny tracking in the iOS “Allow Tracking” prompt and change it any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. Where required by law (e.g. EU/UK GDPR, US state privacy laws), the app asks for your consent through Google’s consent message, which you can review again in the app. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Deleting your data
Use “Forget this TV” in the app, or delete the app to remove all locally stored data.
Changes
We may update this policy; the date above shows the latest version.
