1. Our Privacy Commitment
At ReMay (including RemoteTube and our platform integrations), your privacy is our foundational principle. We believe software should do exactly what it says it does without secretly collecting personal data, tracking user behaviors, or selling information to advertisers.
The Core Summary: We do not collect, store, or sell your personal data. We do not require user accounts or logins. All control messages are ephemeral and securely transmitted in real time.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Unlike traditional streaming controllers or remote desktop applications, ReMay is deliberately architected to function without knowing who you are:
- No Personal Identifiers: We do not ask for or collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or social profiles.
- No Account Sign-Ups: You never create an account, password, or profile to use ReMay or RemoteTube.
- No Browsing History: The browser extension does not track or store your visited websites, search queries, or watch history.
- No Keystroke or Screen Recording: ReMay does not capture screen video or record keystrokes. It only passes standard media events (play, pause, volume, mute) to active media tabs.
- No Payment Information: ReMay and RemoteTube are 100% free and open-source. We never request credit card or financial details.
3. How Remote Pairing & WebSockets Work
When you pair your smartphone to your computer using a QR code:
- A random, ephemeral session token is generated locally by the browser extension.
- Your phone connects to this session via encrypted WebSocket protocols (WSS).
- Commands sent from your phone (such as pressing "Play" or scrubbing audio volume) are relayed in real time to the desktop player and immediately discarded.
- No session logs, audio streams, or video feeds are recorded or stored on any server.
4. Third-Party Services & Cookies
We do not use tracking cookies, analytics trackers (such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel), or third-party behavioral advertising networks on our website or within our browser extensions.
When you interact with media services like YouTube, Twitch, or Kick in your browser, your interaction with those platforms remains subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. ReMay does not intercept or alter your accounts on those services.
5. Open Source Transparency
We believe trust requires verification. RemoteTube and ReMay are open source. Anyone, including security researchers and developers, can inspect our code, review our network requests, and confirm our privacy commitments directly in our GitHub repository.
6. Policy Changes
If we introduce new features that require architectural updates, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
7. Contact & Support
