1. Introduction
Tether Terminal ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our macOS application, iOS application, and website.
2. Data Collection & Usage
- Authentication: We use Firebase Authentication (including Apple Sign-In and Google) to manage user accounts. We do not store your passwords.
- Terminal Relay: To enable remote terminal access, session data (including terminal output and input) is streamed through Firebase Realtime Database. This data is cryptographically scoped to your unique User ID (UID).
- Session Metadata: We may collect basic information about your sessions, such as the AI agent used (Claude, Codex, or Gemini) and session timestamps, to provide and improve the service.
3. Data Security
All data is transmitted over secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS/WSS). We utilize Firebase security rules to ensure that your terminal data is only accessible to you when authenticated with your account.
