Last Updated: March 14, 2026

Roku TV Remote Control ("the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

1. Information Collection and Use

No Personal Data Collection

The App does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number to our servers.

Local Network Access

The App requires access to your local network to discover and communicate with your Roku devices. This data stays on your local network and is never shared or stored by us.

Microphone Access

The App requests microphone permission only for the "Voice Search" feature. Audio is processed using the Android system's speech recognition API. We do not record, store, or upload your audio data to our servers.

Haptic Feedback

The App uses your device's vibrator to provide tactile feedback when buttons are pressed.

2. Third-Party Services

To provide a reliable experience, the App uses the following third-party services:

Google AdMob: Used to display advertisements in the free version. Google may collect device identifiers (like the Advertising ID) to serve ads and prevent fraud.
Firebase (Google): We use Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, and Performance Monitoring to understand app usage, fix crashes, and improve speed. This data is de-identified (not linked to you personally).
Google Play Billing: Used to process "Pro" version upgrades. All financial transactions are handled securely by Google Play; we never see or store your credit card information.

3. Permissions

The App requests the following for functional purposes:

INTERNET & WIFI_STATE: To control your Roku device over Wi-Fi.
RECORD_AUDIO: To enable the Voice Search feature.
VIBRATE: To provide haptic feedback when you tap buttons.

4. Data Safety & Security

We do not sell your data. We only share data with the service providers listed above (Google) to the extent necessary for the app to function and show ads. You can reset your Advertising ID in your Android system settings at any time.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
