Privacy policy for Nectar SSH

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Nectar SSH ("the app") is made by Raptiye Labs ("we"). This policy explains what the app does with your data. In short: we do not collect any personal data. Everything you enter stays on your device unless you decide to move it.

What we collect

Nothing. The app has no analytics, advertising or tracking code, no account, and no server of ours that it talks to. We cannot see your connections, credentials or terminal sessions.

Data stored on your device

Data	Where it is kept
Connections (name, host, port, user name), snippets, port forwards, settings, known host keys, recent commands	A local database inside the app
Passwords, private keys and passphrases	Android's encrypted secure storage, backed by the Android Keystore
Session logs and the crash log	Files inside the app, only if you turn these features on. They are never sent anywhere; you can share them yourself.

Uninstalling the app deletes all of this.

Network connections

The app connects only to the servers you configure (SSH, SFTP and Mosh), and to Google Play as described below. Port forwards and the SOCKS proxy listen on your device for your own use.

Backups and sync

When you export a backup or turn on sync, the app writes a file encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a passphrase only you know. You choose where the file is stored, for example a folder on your phone, Google Drive or Nextcloud. That provider's privacy terms apply to the file; neither the provider nor we can read its contents without your passphrase.

Google Play

Purchases are handled by Google Play. We receive no payment details; the app only checks which products you own. The app may also use Google Play to offer updates and to ask for a rating. Google's privacy policy applies to these services.

Biometrics and keyboard

Fingerprint and face unlock are handled by Android; the app only learns whether the check succeeded. By default the terminal asks your keyboard not to learn what you type. If you turn on "Keyboard learning" in the settings, your keyboard app may store what you type, including passwords, under its own privacy terms.

Permissions

Internet and network state: to connect to your servers and notice network changes.
Biometrics: for the optional app lock and to confirm sensitive actions.
Notifications and foreground service: to keep your sessions alive in the background and show that they are running.
Billing: for purchases through Google Play.

Children

The app is a tool for administering servers and is not directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
