Wiki/Plans and privacy
Privacy
Your screen, your pen strokes and your keystrokes travel only between your device and your computer, over the cable or directly across your own network, and never anywhere else. They never pass through us.
What PixelBridge doesn’t do
Section titled “What PixelBridge doesn’t do”- No account.
- No ads, no analytics, no crash reporting.
- No location, contacts, files or microphone. The camera is used only to scan a pairing code, and the picture is read on the device.
The only outside connections
Section titled “The only outside connections”| From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The Android app | Google Play | To show the prices and check your purchase. Google Play Billing keeps its own usage diagnostics. |
| The computer program | bytehavenstudios.com, once a day | To see whether a new version is out. One plain request with nothing about you, the device or the install in it. Turn it off with Tell me when an update is out. |
What stays on your devices
Section titled “What stays on your devices”- Pairing keys and remembered computers stay on the device and the computer that paired. They are not included in Android backups.
- During pairing, the device tells your own computer its name and a short hashed ID, so the computer can list it. That goes over your network to your computer only.
- The trial clock is kept on your computer, and the app keeps a copy. It holds hashed device IDs and minutes used, nothing that names you or your device.
- Your purchase is checked by your own computer, offline, against Google Play’s signed receipt.
Wi-Fi security
Section titled “Wi-Fi security”Wi-Fi sessions are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) with a key that never leaves your devices. Over a cable, the picture travels only along the cable.
