Remotera Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 October 2026

Remotera ("the app") is a remote control for Android TV and Google TV devices, published by Ekrem Tekerek. This policy explains what data the app handles and why.

What the app itself does not collect

Remotera has no accounts and no servers of its own. We do not collect, store or sell your personal data, and we do not track what you watch.

• Your TV connection stays on your home network. The app talks directly to your TV with the encrypted Android TV Remote protocol. Pairing data (your TV's name, address and certificate fingerprint) is stored only on your phone.
• Keyboard text you type is sent only to your TV and is not stored.
• Voice search uses the microphone only while you hold the voice search screen open, with your permission. The audio goes directly to your TV and is not recorded or sent anywhere else.
• Bluetooth is used only to pair the phone with your TV box as a remote and to wake it from sleep. Nearby device names are shown on the pairing screen only and are not stored.

Advertising (free version)

The free version shows ads provided by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), approximate location derived from IP address, and app interaction data. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the app asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Buying Remotera Pro removes all ads; the ad SDK is then not started at all.

Purchases

Remotera Pro is purchased through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google; we only receive confirmation that the purchase belongs to your Google account.

Permissions

• Network / Wi-Fi: to find and control your TV on your local network.
• Microphone: only for voice search, when you start it.
• Nearby devices (Bluetooth): only for the optional Bluetooth remote that wakes your TV box.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: ekremtekerek@gmail.com.
