Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 August 2026
The short version. CekTerm has no account system, no backend and no analytics. We never see your hosts, your keys or your commands. The one exception is advertising: the app shows an occasional full-screen ad supplied by Google AdMob, and AdMob collects data of its own. That section is spelled out below.
What we collect
Usage statistics, and you can turn them off. The app reports four things
to our server at app.findmoapp.com: when it was first installed, which interface
language is selected, when this launch happened, and which app version is running — together
with the platform, OS version and device model that go with them.
There is no sign-up and no account. We cannot see who you are, which hosts you connect to, what you type, or what your hosts return. No terminal content and no host configuration ever leaves your device.
The identifier used for this is a random UUID generated on your device and stored in the Keychain. It is not derived from any hardware serial number, is not linked to your identity, and is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.
Settings → Privacy → “Send usage statistics” switches it off. With it off the app makes no such request at all. There is still no crash reporting.
What stays on your device
| Data | Stored in | Protection |
|---|---|---|
| SSH private keys, passphrases, host passwords | iOS Keychain | kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly — readable only while the
device is unlocked, and never synced through iCloud Keychain or encrypted backups |
| Host names, addresses, usernames, tags | App sandbox | iOS file protection |
| Terminal scrollback | Memory and app sandbox | As above |
| Remembered host key fingerprints | App sandbox | As above |
| Preferences (language, theme, font size) | App sandbox | As above |
Deleting the app deletes all of it, including the keys in the Keychain. That cannot be undone.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
CekTerm is free and shows a full-screen ad occasionally: never during the first seven days after install, then at most once an hour and three times a day. Ads are served by Google AdMob.
To serve and measure those ads, Google may collect device identifiers, coarse location derived from your IP address, and ad interaction data. We do not receive any of it — we only see aggregate counts of how many ads were shown. Google's use of this data is governed by its own privacy policy.
You can limit this in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising on your device.
Where the app connects
To the SSH hosts whose addresses you type in yourself, to Google's ad servers, and — unless
you switch usage statistics off — to app.findmoapp.com for the report described
above. There are no update checks and no remote code loading. Session traffic — the commands
you type and the output your host returns — travels directly between your device and your
host over SSH, and passes through no third party.
Microphone and speech recognition
The microphone is used only while you hold the voice input button. The recording is handed to Apple's speech recognition service; depending on your device and language that happens on-device or on Apple's servers, in which case Apple's privacy policy applies. The resulting text appears on your screen for you to review. We do not retain it and have no access to it.
Face ID / Touch ID
Used only if you turn on the optional biometric lock. Verification is performed by iOS; the app receives a pass or fail result and never touches your biometric data.
Clipboard
You can copy from and paste into the terminal. A remote host cannot read your clipboard: OSC 52 is implemented in the write direction only and never answers a read query.
Third-party components
- Citadel — SSH protocol. No external communication of its own.
- SwiftTerm — terminal emulation. No external communication of its own.
- Google Mobile Ads SDK — see the advertising section above.
Children
CekTerm is a developer tool. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from them.
Your rights
We hold no data about you, so there are no records to access, correct or delete. Your data is on your device; deleting the app removes all of it.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a future version needs to collect anything, we will update this page and explain it in the app before that version ships.

隱私政策
最後更新：2026 年 8 月 12 日
一句話版本。 CekTerm 沒有帳號系統、沒有後端、沒有任何分析工具。 我們看不到你的主機、你的金鑰、你打的指令。唯一的例外是廣告：App 會偶爾顯示一支 由 Google AdMob 提供的全螢幕廣告，而 AdMob 會收集它自己的資料——下面那一節講清楚。
我們收集什麼
使用統計，而且你可以關掉。 App 會把四件事回報到我們的伺服器
app.findmoapp.com：第一次安裝的時間、目前選的介面語系、這一次開啟的時間、
現在是哪一版——以及隨附的平台、OS 版本與機型。
沒有註冊、沒有帳號。我們無從得知你是誰、你連到哪台主機、你打了什麼、主機回了什麼。 終端機內容與主機設定一個位元組都不會離開你的裝置。
統計用的識別碼是在你裝置上產生、存在 Keychain 的隨機 UUID。它不是從任何硬體序號推導 出來的，與你的身分無關，也不用於廣告或跨 App 追蹤。
設定 → 隱私 →「傳送使用統計」可以關掉。關掉之後 App 完全不會發出這個 請求。崩潰回報一樣沒有。
留在你裝置上的東西
| 資料 | 存放位置 | 保護方式 |
|---|---|---|
| SSH 私鑰、passphrase、主機密碼 | iOS Keychain | kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly——裝置解鎖後才可讀，
且不會透過 iCloud 鑰匙圈或加密備份離開這台裝置 |
| 主機名稱、位址、使用者名稱、標籤 | App 沙箱 | iOS 檔案保護 |
| 終端機輸出歷史 | 記憶體與 App 沙箱 | 同上 |
| 記住的主機金鑰指紋 | App 沙箱 | 同上 |
| 偏好設定（語言、配色、字級） | App 沙箱 | 同上 |
刪除 App 會一併刪掉以上全部，包含 Keychain 裡的金鑰。這個動作無法復原。
廣告（Google AdMob）
CekTerm 免費，偶爾會顯示一支全螢幕廣告：安裝後的頭七天完全不放，之後最多一小時一次、 一天三次。廣告由 Google AdMob 提供。
為了投放與計算成效，Google 可能收集裝置識別碼、由 IP 位址推得的概略位置，以及廣告互動資料。 這些我們都拿不到——我們只看得到「總共放了幾支廣告」這種彙總數字。 Google 如何使用這些資料，適用它自己的隱私政策。
你可以在裝置的設定 → 隱私權與安全性 → 追蹤與 設定 → 隱私權與安全性 → Apple 廣告中限制這件事。
App 會連到哪裡
你自己輸入位址的 SSH 主機、Google 的廣告伺服器，以及——除非你關掉使用統計——
app.findmoapp.com（就是上面那份回報）。沒有更新檢查、沒有遠端載入程式碼。
連線內容——你打的指令與主機回傳的輸出——在你的裝置與你的主機之間以 SSH 直接傳輸，
不經過任何第三方。
麥克風與語音辨識
只有在你按著語音輸入按鈕時才會使用麥克風。錄下的內容交給 Apple 的語音辨識服務； 依你的裝置與語言，辨識可能在裝置上完成，也可能由 Apple 的伺服器處理，此時適用 Apple 的隱私政策。 辨識結果只出現在你的畫面上供你確認，我們不保留，也拿不到。
Face ID / Touch ID
只有你自行開啟生物辨識鎖之後才會使用。驗證由 iOS 完成，App 只拿到「通過」或「未通過」， 永遠接觸不到你的生物特徵資料。
剪貼簿
你可以從終端機複製、也可以貼進終端機。遠端主機不能讀取你的剪貼簿： OSC 52 只實作寫入方向，對讀取查詢一律不回應。
第三方元件
兒童
CekTerm 是開發者工具，不以兒童為對象，也不會刻意向兒童收集資料。
你的權利
我們不持有你的任何資料，因此沒有可供調閱、更正或刪除的紀錄。資料在你的裝置上， 刪除 App 即全部清除。
政策變更
本政策若有修改，頁首的日期會跟著更新。若未來版本需要收集任何資料， 我們會在該版本發布前更新本頁並在 App 內說明。
