Privacy Policy

1. Our Fundamental Commitment: Zero Cloud & Zero Tracking

At PCPilot (pcpilot.in), privacy is not a setting — it is our core engineering foundation. PCPilot is designed from the ground up as a 100% offline, local-network-only utility.

We operate no cloud servers, no central databases, no telemetry collectors, and no user tracking mechanisms. When you move your finger on your phone's trackpad or press a key on your game controller, that data travels directly between your phone and your PC over your private Wi-Fi network or USB cable. It never touches the internet or any third-party server.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

PCPilot does NOT collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• No Personal Information: We do not require accounts, signups, email registrations, or phone numbers.
• No Keystroke Logs: Keyboard strokes and mouse coordinates are processed directly into native Windows input events and immediately discarded. Nothing is ever logged or recorded.
• No Screen Recordings or Files: Real-time screen streaming stays strictly inside your local memory buffer and is never recorded or uploaded.
• No Location Data: We do not track GPS, cell tower locations, or geographic movements.
• No Analytics or Ads: PCPilot contains zero advertising SDKs, zero analytics trackers, and zero third-party telemetry libraries.

3. Permissions Used and Why They Are Needed

Android Application Permissions

• INTERNET & ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Required strictly to establish a local socket connection (TCP port 8443) to your PC across your Wi-Fi router. No external internet traffic is generated.
• CAMERA: Used exclusively when you tap the "Scan QR" button to scan your PC's pairing QR code. Camera frames are analyzed locally on your phone's CPU and never saved or transmitted.
• VIBRATE: Used solely to provide tactile haptic feedback when tapping buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Keeps the connection active when switching between apps or running in the background.

Windows Agent Permissions

• Network Listening (Port 8443 & 8444): Listens on your local network adapter for incoming commands sent from your paired phone.
• SendInput API: Uses standard Microsoft Windows hardware simulation APIs to move your mouse and simulate key presses.

4. Security & PIN Authentication

To prevent unauthorized devices on your network from controlling your computer, PCPilot employs a strict security hierarchy:

• One-Time 6-Digit PIN: Connecting a new phone requires entering a randomly generated PIN displayed on your PC screen. The PIN automatically expires after 5 minutes.
• Cryptographic Device Tokens: Paired devices receive a high-entropy 256-bit token stored locally in Windows AppSettings.
• Single Active Controller: Only ONE device can actively control mouse/keyboard inputs at any given second.
• Instant Revocation: You can disconnect all devices or revoke any device permanently with 1 click from the PCPilot Windows tray.
