My Server — Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 3, 2026

In short

My Server does not require an account and does not collect personal data. The app contains no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it does not send any data to the developer or to third parties. The app connects only to the servers you add yourself.

Connections to your servers

The app connects directly from your device to the servers you add, using SSH, SFTP, FTP or FTPS. Files you upload or download, commands you type and terminal output travel only between your device and your server. Like any network connection, your server sees your device’s IP address. The developer does not receive any of this information.

Data stored on your device

The server list (name, address, port, username, protocol and start folder), app settings, private keys you import or generate in the app, and, if you turn on “Remember”, passwords and key passphrases are stored only on your device in the system’s secure storage: the iOS Keychain or Android encrypted storage protected by the Android Keystore. Passwords and keys are bound to this device and are not moved to other devices through backups.

To protect you from impostor servers, the app remembers the host key fingerprint (SSH) or certificate fingerprint (FTPS) of each server on first connection and warns you if it changes. These fingerprints are stored with the server on your device.

Terminal command history

For convenience, the app keeps up to the last 300 commands you typed in the terminal for each server, in the app’s private storage on your device. Lines typed after a password prompt are not saved. You can clear the history in the app at any time.

Temporary files

Image thumbnails and files you open for preview, playback or sharing are downloaded into the app’s temporary cache on your device. Downloaded media files are deleted when you close the player; thumbnails can be cleared in Settings, and the system may also clear the cache. The contents of your files and terminal output are not logged.

Face ID, Touch ID and fingerprint

The app lock is optional and off by default. When it is on, unlocking is handled entirely by the operating system; the app only receives a yes/no result and never has access to your biometric data.

Photos, files and local network

The app accesses photos, videos and files only when you choose them yourself in the system picker: to upload them to your server, to import a private key or to save a downloaded file to your device. On iPhone, the local network permission is used only to connect to servers on your local network.

Security of FTP

SSH, SFTP and FTPS connections are encrypted. Plain FTP is not encrypted: your username, password and files can be read by others on the network. Use SFTP or FTPS whenever your server supports them.

Deleting your data

Deleting a server in the app removes its saved password and private key. Deleting the app removes its data from the device. On iPhone, iOS may keep Keychain entries after an app is deleted; to remove saved passwords and keys completely, delete your servers in the app before deleting the app. On Android, app data is not included in device backups.

Children

The app does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.
