Privacy, in plain language.

EdgeLink connects devices you choose to pair. Local sharing and optional cloud account features use different kinds of information, described below.

Local device sharing

EdgeLink discovers reachable peers on your local network and stores the identities of devices you pair. Device names, network addresses, pairing credentials and preferences are stored on your device. Windows-to-Windows traffic uses encrypted, identity-pinned connections. The Android bridge uses HTTPS with a certificate fingerprint checked during pairing.

Clipboard text, images and files are sent to your paired devices when the applicable sharing feature is enabled. Received files are saved in the configured download folder. Clipboard contents may be sensitive: pause sharing or disconnect devices when you do not want to share them. Removing a pairing prevents future access; it does not delete files already received on another device.

Phone screen, touch and screenshots

Phone screen viewing uses Android's screen-capture permission. A phone user must approve the system consent prompt before a session starts. Screen frames are delivered to the paired PC through the local connection, and the session can be stopped on either device. Android may hide protected content. The standard Android download does not include remote touch control or an Accessibility service. A separate control edition is prepared for store review and is not the public website download. In that edition, phone touch control requires the phone owner to enable the EdgeLink Accessibility service in Android settings and approve each active screen session separately. It sends taps, swipes, Back and Home from the paired PC. The service does not read screen element text. Control or sharing can be stopped from the ongoing phone notification. No control commands or screen frames are sent to the cloud.

Optional screenshot sharing needs the relevant Android permission and an active sync workflow. Android restricts background clipboard access, so sharing text may require the Share menu or opening EdgeLink. EdgeLink does not bypass these Android controls.

Optional Google account and cloud data

Local sharing does not require a Google account. If the EdgeLink installation has a configured Google/Firebase service and you choose to sign in, Google provides account identity information such as your account ID, name and email address. The configured Firebase service stores your device registry and backed-up preferences under your account.

The cloud backup feature is intended for device metadata and preferences, not your clipboard contents, received files or phone screen recordings. Cloud sign-in does not replace local pairing or authorize screen capture. Authentication tokens are kept locally by the app and should be cleared when you sign out.

The deployment provider controls the configured Google/Firebase project. Google's processing is described in Google's Privacy Policy. Cloud features are unavailable until a deployment is configured.

What this website collects

This marketing website has no sign-in form, payment checkout, advertising scripts, analytics scripts or tracking cookies added by EdgeLink. Its interactive demo runs in your browser and does not connect to your devices. The hosting provider may process routine connection data, such as IP addresses and request logs, to serve and protect the site. If you email support, your message and address are received through the support email service.

Retention and deletion

Local pairings and preferences remain until you remove them or clear the app's data. Downloaded files remain until you delete those files separately. Optional cloud device records and preferences remain in the configured service until removed by you or through an account deletion request. Signing out alone does not delete cloud data.

For removal steps or an account deletion request, use the account deletion page. Deleting cloud data does not remotely erase files already copied to another device. Diagnostic information needed to investigate a support request may be retained while that request is being handled.

Your choices

• Enable or disable clipboard and file sharing in the app.
• Disconnect devices or remove their pairings.
• Stop phone screen sharing and revoke Android permissions in system settings.
• Sign out of the optional cloud account and request deletion of its data.
• Delete received files using your device's file manager.
