Privacy Policy

Effective March 21, 2026

Cryptty is built by Volker Tech, LLC. This policy describes how the app handles your data. The short version: we collect nothing, track nothing, and your data stays yours.

No Analytics or Telemetry

Cryptty contains no analytics frameworks, crash reporting services, or telemetry of any kind. We do not track how you use the app, which features you access, or how often you open it. There are no third-party SDKs that collect data.

Data Stored on Your Device

Cryptty stores the following data locally on your device:

• SSH host configurations (hostnames, ports, usernames)
• Terminal profiles and settings
• Command snippets and folder organization
• Session history (which host you connected to and when — not terminal content)

SSH private keys and passwords are stored in the device Keychain and never leave your device. Biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) is processed entirely by the Secure Enclave — biometric data is never accessible to Cryptty or transmitted anywhere.

iCloud Sync

If you enable iCloud sync, Cryptty uses Apple CloudKit to synchronize host configurations, profiles, settings, and device registration across your devices. All synced data is encrypted by Apple using your iCloud account credentials. Terminal content and command output are never synced.

You can disable iCloud sync at any time in the app settings. When sync is off, all data stays on the local device only.

Network Connections

Cryptty connects only to servers you explicitly configure:

• SSH — encrypted connections to remote hosts you add to the app
• Persistent sessions — encrypted QUIC connections to your own servers running the crypttyd daemon, authenticated with device-specific keys generated in the Secure Enclave
• iCloud — sync traffic to Apple CloudKit (if enabled)

Cryptty does not contact Volker Tech servers, perform automatic network scanning, or make any connections without your explicit action.

Push Notifications

Cryptty receives push notifications from Apple CloudKit for sync updates and from your own servers for persistent session events. Notification payloads contain only encrypted session metadata — no terminal content or personal data.

No Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, or provide your data to any third parties. We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than making the app work for you.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete your data at any time:

• Delete individual hosts, profiles, or snippets within the app
• Disable iCloud sync to stop cloud storage
• Delete Cryptty data from iCloud via Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Manage Storage
• Uninstall the app to remove all local data

Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above. We will never introduce analytics or telemetry without making it obvious and optional.
