Privacy Policy for Whazza Apps

App-specific privacy information: MobileSSH

Purpose of the app

MobileSSH is an SSH client for Android. The app lets you create and manage SSH connections, identities, private keys, terminal sessions, port forwardings, command snippets, backups, SFTP file access, QR code sharing and a code editor.

Data stored in the app

Depending on the functions you use, the following data may be stored locally on your device:

• SSH connection data such as connection name, hostname or IP address, port, username and connection settings.
• SSH identities, passwords, private keys, public keys, passphrases and known-host entries.
• Port forwarding settings, snippets, app settings, theme settings, terminal settings, plugin settings and app-lock settings.
• Session logs, if you enable session logging.
• Backup files or exported files, if you create, share or save them.

Local processing and secure storage

SSH connection data, identities, passwords and private keys are primarily processed locally on your device to provide the requested SSH functions. Sensitive data is stored using Android security mechanisms where available. You are responsible for the servers you connect to and for the credentials you enter into the app.

Network connections

When you connect to an SSH server, the app transmits the data required for the SSH connection to the server selected by you. This may include hostname or IP address, username, authentication data and terminal input/output. These transmissions are necessary for the SSH function and are sent to the server chosen by you, not to a MobileSSH server.

Backups and cloud sync

If you use backup or sync functions, encrypted backup data may be uploaded to the storage provider selected by you, such as Google Drive, Dropbox or a WebDAV server. The backup may contain SSH connections, identities, private keys, passwords, port forwardings and snippets. The selected provider processes this data according to its own privacy policy. MobileSSH does not operate these third-party cloud services.

Snippet templates

If you open the online snippet template store, the app may contact a MobileSSH snippet server to download template metadata and template content. Technical request data such as IP address, time of request, app version, language and requested content may be processed by the server for delivery, security and abuse prevention.

Google Play purchases

Paid app installation and optional in-app purchases, such as SFTP Browser or Code Editor unlocks, are processed by Google Play. MobileSSH receives purchase status information from Google Play to unlock purchased features. Payment details are processed by Google according to Google Play’s terms and privacy policy.

QR codes and sharing

If you create or share QR codes, connection information may be encoded in the QR code. Passwords and private keys are not intended to be included in QR codes. If you share a QR code or exported file with another app, the receiving app or service processes the data according to its own privacy policy.

Files and SFTP

If you use SFTP or the code editor, the app accesses files on the SSH/SFTP server selected by you and may temporarily process file names, paths, metadata and file contents to display, edit, upload or download files. Data is transmitted between your device and the server chosen by you.

App lock and biometrics

If you use app lock, PIN or biometric unlock, the app stores the required lock settings locally. Biometric verification is handled by Android system components. MobileSSH does not receive or store biometric templates.

No advertising and no sale of data

MobileSSH is designed as a paid productivity tool. The app does not sell your personal data. The app does not use advertising SDKs for ad monetization.

Data deletion

You can delete locally stored app data by deleting entries inside the app, using factory reset inside the app, clearing app data in Android settings or uninstalling the app. Cloud backups must be deleted from the selected cloud provider or through the delete function provided in the app where available.
