Privacy at DroidDesk

How DroidDesk keeps your activity private during a rental — the host cannot see your session, and apps and app data are cleared afterwards.

DroidDesk is designed to keep your activity on a remote device private during your rental.

You connect to a real physical Android smartphone and control it remotely. The device host provides the phone and internet connection, but does not participate in your session and cannot see what you are doing on the device.

What DroidDesk does not monitor

DroidDesk does not:

record the device screen
monitor your activity inside apps
view your messages, accounts, browsing history, or other activity inside the device

Your activity during an active session remains private.

What can the device host see?

While your remote session is active, the physical device displays a dedicated privacy screen that hides your activity. The device host cannot see:

the contents of the screen
the apps you open
your accounts or messages
your browsing history
the actions you perform remotely

You can learn more in What Can the Device Host See?

What happens after your rental ends?

After your rental ends, DroidDesk automatically removes apps installed during the rental, clears app and browser data (cookies, history, logins), and prepares the device for the next session.

Your files are not wiped. Downloads, photos, documents or APK files you put on the phone may remain after the rental ends, so delete them yourself before your session expires.

Before ending your rental

Apps installed during the rental and app and browser data are cleared automatically after the rental ends.

Deleting your own files is your responsibility. Check Downloads and any other folders where you saved files, and delete documents, images, APK files or other files before ending your session.

Privacy by design

Privacy is not an optional feature of DroidDesk. It is part of how the service is designed to work.

The host provides the physical device and internet connection, DroidDesk provides remote access and automatic cleanup after the rental, and your activity during the session remains private.
