Michael Freno dd368d21e7 smarter-remote: publish the app's privacy policy and terms of use
A Smarter Remote's iOS paywall sells an auto-renewing subscription, and
App Review 3.1.2 requires it to link a privacy policy and terms of use.
No such pages existed. They now live on the main site at
/smarter-remote/privacy and /smarter-remote/terms, so no new subdomain
or DNS change is needed. The policy describes what the app actually
does: local-network control, pairing data kept on the phone, purchases
through Apple and RevenueCat, and QR sharing phone to phone.

Tests: bun test shows the same 52 pre-existing failures with and
without the pages; tsc reports nothing in the new files.

<div class="py-2">Last Updated: November 2, 2026</div>
<div class="py-2">
Welcome to A Smarter Remote (&apos;We&apos;, &apos;Us&apos;,
&apos;Our&apos;). The app controls your TVs over your own Wi-Fi
network. It has no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. This policy
explains the little data it does handle.
</div>
<ol>
<div class="py-2">
<div class="pb-2 text-lg">
<span class="-ml-4 pr-2">1.</span> Data We Collect
</div>
<div class="pl-4">
<div class="pb-2">
<div class="-ml-6">(a) Your TVs:</div> The app finds TVs on
your local network and stores their names, network addresses,
and platform on your phone. Pairing codes and tokens are kept
in your phone&apos;s Keychain. This data is sent only to the
TV itself, over your local network. It never reaches us.
</div>
<div class="pb-2">
<div class="-ml-6">(b) Purchases:</div> Payments are handled
by Apple. We use RevenueCat to check whether you own A Smarter
Remote Pro. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, your
purchase and subscription history, and basic device and app
details such as OS version, app version, and region. It does
not receive your name, email, or payment details.
</div>
<div class="pb-2">
<div class="-ml-6">(c) Voice input:</div> If you use voice
search, your speech is converted to text by Apple&apos;s
speech recognition. Apple may process it on its servers. The
resulting text is sent only to your TV.
</div>
<div class="pb-2">
<div class="-ml-6">(d) Sharing:</div> If you share a TV with
someone, its name, address, and platform are put into a QR
code on your screen for them to scan. It goes from one phone
to the other and does not pass through our servers.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="py-2">
<div class="pb-2 text-lg">
<span class="-ml-4 pr-2">2.</span> How We Use It
</div>
<div class="pb-2 pl-4">
Data about your TVs is used only to control them. Purchase
records are used only to unlock Pro. We do not use any of it for
advertising, and we do not sell it.
</div>
</div>
<div class="py-2">
<div class="pb-2 text-lg">
<span class="-ml-4 pr-2">3.</span> Local Network Access
</div>
<div class="pb-2 pl-4">
iOS asks for permission before the app can use your local
network. The app needs it to find and control your TVs. If you
decline, the app cannot reach your TVs. You can change this in
Settings &gt; Privacy &amp; Security &gt; Local Network.
</div>
</div>
<div class="py-2">
<div class="pb-2 text-lg">
<span class="-ml-4 pr-2">4.</span> Deleting Your Data
</div>
<div class="pb-2 pl-4">
Removing a TV in the app deletes its stored details and
credentials from your phone. Deleting the app removes all of
them. Subscriptions are managed and cancelled in your App Store
account settings.
</div>

<div class="py-2">
<div class="pb-2 text-lg">
<span class="-ml-4 pr-2">5.</span> Children&apos;s Privacy
</div>
<div class="pb-2 pl-4">
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from
anyone, including children under 13.

We may update this policy periodically. Any changes are posted on
this page, so please review it from time to time.
