Privacy policy

The short version

PRCHD connects your phone to your own Mac over your own private Tailscale network. Your source code, your messages to the agent, your diffs, your commands and their output, and your file contents travel only between your devices. We never receive them, store them, or transmit them to any third party.

The only data that reaches anyone other than you is anonymous crash and performance diagnostics, described below.

Who we are

PRCHD is published by Velzosoft. For anything in this policy — including a request to delete diagnostic data — reach us at hello@prchd.app.

There is no account

PRCHD has no sign-up, no login, no email collection, and no user profile. We do not know who you are. Pairing your phone to your Mac is a direct exchange between two devices you own; it does not involve us and no record of it reaches us.

What we collect

One thing: crash reports and performance diagnostics, so we can find and fix defects. That covers crash logs and stack traces, app performance data, basic device and app information such as OS and app version, and an anonymous installation identifier.

None of it is linked to a personal identity, and none of it is used for advertising or for tracking you across apps or websites.

What we never collect

To be unambiguous, PRCHD does not collect any of the following:

• Your source code, file contents, or diffs
• Your messages to or from the coding agent, including attachments
• Commands you run or their output
• Repository names, branch names, or file paths
• Your name, email address, contacts, photos, or location
• Credentials for GitHub, Anthropic, OpenAI, Tailscale, or anything else

Device permissions

• Camera — used only to scan the pairing QR code shown by your Mac. No images are stored or transmitted.
• Photos and files — used only when you choose to attach something to a message. Attachments go to your own Mac and nowhere else.
• Face ID or fingerprint — used only for the optional app lock. Authentication happens on your device; we never receive biometric data.

Credentials for other services

PRCHD holds no tokens for the services it works with. Your coding agent's sign-in is managed by that agent's own CLI on your Mac. GitHub actions are performed by the GitHub CLI using its own authentication. Tailscale manages your network identity. We never see, store, or transmit any of these credentials.

Who processes it

Sentry handles crash reports and performance diagnostics, acting as a service provider on our behalf and not using the data for its own purposes. It runs on Sentry's own infrastructure under their terms, so for specifics — where the data is stored, how long it is kept, and their security practices — see Sentry's privacy policy.

We do not sell data, share it with advertisers, or use it for cross-app tracking. There are no analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or trackers in either app beyond the one named above.

Your rights

Because we hold no account and no personal identifiers, there is normally nothing to look up. If you believe diagnostic data from your device should be deleted, email hello@prchd.app and we will remove what can be identified. You may also stop all collection at any time by uninstalling the apps.

Children

PRCHD is a developer tool intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the updated date at the top of this page will change and the revision will be noted in the app's release notes.
