Connector — Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 18, 2026

Connector ("the app") is a mobile client that lets you monitor and control an AI coding agent running on your own desktop machine, from your phone. This policy explains what data the app accesses, how it's used, and what leaves your device.

Information We Collect

• Camera — used only to scan a QR code that pairs the app with your desktop bridge. No images are stored or transmitted.
• Biometrics (Face ID / fingerprint) — verified entirely on-device to confirm it's you before reconnecting with your GitHub session. Biometric data never leaves your device and is never seen by Connector or its developer.
• Microphone / speech recognition — used only if you choose to dictate an instruction instead of typing. Audio is processed for transcription and is not retained after the text is produced.
• GitHub account access — Connector uses GitHub's OAuth device-code flow (scope: repo) to authenticate you and verify write access to the repository you're working in. Your GitHub access token is stored in encrypted, on-device secure storage and is used solely to authorize requests to GitHub's API and your own desktop bridge — it is never sent to any third-party server.
• Session and chat transcripts — conversations with your AI coding agent are stored locally on your device (in a local SQLite database) so you can return to them later. Connector does not operate a backend server that stores your transcripts; the other end of the connection is your own desktop bridge.
• Crash and error reports — if the app crashes or encounters an error, diagnostic information (device model, OS version, and a stack trace) is sent to Sentry, a third-party crash-reporting service, to help us fix bugs. These reports do not intentionally include your GitHub token, transcripts, or biometric data.

How Your Desktop Bridge Fits In

Connector connects over a WebSocket to a bridge application that runs on a computer you control. That computer, not Connector's developer, runs the actual AI coding agent and has access to your codebase. Connector does not have its own backend server that stores or processes your code or repository contents.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. The only third parties involved are:

• GitHub — for authentication and repository access, governed by GitHub's own privacy policy.
• Sentry — for crash/error diagnostics, governed by Sentry's privacy policy.

Data Retention & Deletion

Session transcripts and cached credentials live on your device and are removed when you uninstall the app, sign out, or clear app data. To revoke Connector's GitHub access at any time, visit your GitHub Applications settings and remove Connector's authorization.

Children's Privacy

Connector is a developer tool not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same URL with a revised effective date.
