Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 8, 2026
Griffin Stream (“the app”) is a remote desktop client that connects directly to a Windows server that you (“the user”) run and control on your own computer. This policy explains what data the app and Windows server handle.
Summary
- The Android app does not collect, transmit, or sell personal data to the developer for analytics or advertising.
- The app has no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
- Remote-session traffic flows directly between your device and your own PC over an encrypted connection.
- If you buy or activate Pro, the Windows server contacts Dodo Payments license hosts to activate and validate your key (see below).
Data stored on your device
The app stores the following locally so it can function. None of it is sent to the developer:
- Server connection details you enter (server name, address/host, and port), saved as connection history.
- App preferences (display, input, and quality settings).
- A cryptographic key pair used to authenticate to your server. The private key is stored in the app’s encrypted storage (Android Jetpack Security / Keystore-backed) and never leaves the device.
You can remove all of this data at any time by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling the app.
Data transmitted over the network
When you connect to your server, the app exchanges remote-desktop data directly with your server (video, audio, and your mouse/keyboard/gamepad input). This connection is:
- Established only to the server address you provide.
- Encrypted in transit using TLS.
- Never routed through, logged by, or accessible to the developer.
The Android app does not contact developer-operated servers for analytics or advertising, and it uses no analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
Pro licenses and Dodo Payments
Optional Griffin Stream Pro is sold on this website. Payment checkout is handled by Dodo Payments (Merchant of Record). During checkout they process payment and contact details under their own privacy policy.
When you activate or periodically validate a Pro license, the Windows server
on your PC contacts Dodo Payments license endpoints (for example
live.dodopayments.com) with your license key and a short device/seat identifier.
A license cache is stored locally under your Windows user profile
(%APPDATA%\GriffinStream). The Android app does not send license keys to Dodo.
Website pages may link to Dodo’s hosted checkout. Support email you send to [email protected] is handled by the developer for product support.
Permissions
The app requests only the permissions required to operate:
- Internet / Network state / Wi-Fi state: to connect to your server and adapt to network conditions.
- Change Wi-Fi multicast state: to support Wake-on-LAN on the local network.
- Wake lock: to keep the screen active during a remote session.
- Vibrate: for touch/haptic feedback.
The app does not request access to contacts, location, camera, microphone, photos, or files.
Children’s privacy
The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.
