Privacy, in plain terms.

This policy describes the current pre-release GlanceSSH app and this website. It will be reviewed before public launch as distribution, hosting and support details are finalised.

Data on your device

GlanceSSH stores connection profiles and preferences locally. Passwords, supported cloud credentials and software SSH private keys are stored in the device Keychain. The app can use device authentication to lock access to the workspace; it does not receive your Face ID or Touch ID biometric data.

Snippets and optional typed-command history remain on the device. Terminal logs and session notes are held in memory, with an explicit export option. An exported file is then handled by the app, location or person you choose to share it with.

Remote connections and files

GlanceSSH connects to the servers and services you configure. Those destinations receive the network and authentication information needed to establish a connection and process your commands or file operations. Their operators control their own logs and data practices.

SFTP uses SSH transport. Amazon S3 connections send signed requests to the configured AWS service. GlanceSSH does not operate a relay for your SSH sessions or file transfers.

Optional iCloud sync

If you enable sync, saved connections, supported credentials and software SSH keys are stored using encrypted fields in your private CloudKit database associated with your Apple Account. Apple operates iCloud and controls its account security, recovery and service infrastructure. Advanced Data Protection depends on your Apple Account settings; this policy does not claim that GlanceSSH provides an independent end-to-end encryption service.

Server trust approvals, snippets, command history, biometric settings and live terminal sessions are not included in sync. You can use local connections without enabling sync.

Advertising and analytics

The current app includes no advertising SDK or third-party analytics SDK. This website does not add analytics scripts, advertising cookies, contact forms or mailing-list collection.

Website hosting

This website is hosted through OpenAI Sites. Hosting and access providers may process technical request information, such as IP addresses, browser information and access logs, to deliver and secure the website. Any sign-in required by the hosting platform is handled by that platform.

Your choices

You choose which servers to connect to, whether to save credentials, whether to enable iCloud sync, and whether to export logs or files. Saved connections and credentials can be removed in the app. Disabling sync does not by itself mean existing iCloud records are deleted. Removing the app does not guarantee removal of cloud records or files you exported.

Support information

When support becomes available, information you voluntarily send, such as your email address, device details or a bug description, will be used to respond to your request. Do not send passwords, private keys or access tokens.
