RemotePad collects nothing. It has no account, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no third-party SDKs. Nothing you do in the app is sent to the developer, because there is nowhere for it to be sent — the app has no server.
What the app talks to
RemotePad is a VNC client. It opens a network connection to one place: the VNC server whose address you type into its settings. That server is yours or someone else's; it is not ours, and we have no part in the connection.
The app declares a single Android permission, android.permission.INTERNET, which is
what that connection needs. It asks for no other permission — no location, no contacts, no camera,
no microphone, no storage.
What is stored, and where
The app saves your preferences in Android's private per-app storage
(SharedPreferences, created with MODE_PRIVATE), on your device. That is:
- the address and port of the VNC server you last used;
- your display and input preferences — pointer mode, sensitivity, scrolling, compression, image quality, cursor handling and similar.
Your VNC password is not saved. The app deliberately never writes it to storage; it is held only for the lifetime of the connection.
None of this leaves your device by any action of the app.
Android's own backup
The app allows Android's standard backup (allowBackup). If you have device backup
enabled in your Android settings, the preferences listed above may be copied into your own
Google account backup, along with the rest of your device. That is a function of Android and your
Google account, not of this app, and the developer has no access to it. You can turn it off in your
device's backup settings.
Children
The app is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will appear at this address with a new date at the top. There is no data to migrate or re-consent to, because none is collected.

Source
RemotePad is open source. You do not have to take the statements above on trust — the code that opens the connection and the code that writes the preferences are both public, and the app declares its one permission in a manifest you can read: github.com/zirize/vncviewer-for-games.
