Privacy Policy | Mobile SSH

Information stored on your device

If you choose to save app data, Mobile SSH stores it locally on the Android device. This may include saved server profiles, usernames, ports, passwords, private keys, key passphrases, port-forwarding rules, recent sessions, login attempt history, file-transfer paths, file-sort preferences, tmux reattach hints, app settings, and debug logs when debug recording is enabled.

Information sent over the network

Mobile SSH sends SSH authentication data only to servers that you configure and connect to. Terminal input/output, SFTP file contents, and local port-forwarded traffic are exchanged with the servers and remote endpoints you choose. Mobile SSH does not send this data to a Mobile SSH analytics, advertising, telemetry, or cloud sync service.

File transfer and storage access

The file transfer feature browses local phone storage and remote SFTP directories so you can upload and download files. On Android versions that require it, the app may ask for storage access so the local file browser can read and write selected files.

Logs and troubleshooting

Login history and optional debug logs are stored locally for troubleshooting. Debug logs can include terminal events, SSH data sizes, touch input diagnostics, resize events, and tunnel lifecycle events. Review any debug archive before sharing it with support or another person.

Permissions

Internet: required to connect to SSH servers.
Wake lock and Wi-Fi lock: used to keep active SSH sessions alive while the device sleeps.
Foreground service and notifications: used for active connection handling in the background.
Storage access: used by file transfer and key import workflows.

Security responsibilities

Protect your Android device with a strong screen lock if you save credentials or private keys. Only connect to servers you trust. The current implementation uses local app storage rather than a separate encrypted cloud vault.
