Privacy Policy
LAST UPDATED: JUNE 19, 2026 • EFFECTIVE DATE: JUNE 19, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how LANpad collects, uses, stores, and protects your data. LANpad is designed with privacy-by-default principles: most data is processed locally on your devices and is never transmitted to external servers.
By using LANpad, you consent to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use LANpad.
2. WHAT DATA DOES LANpad PROCESS?
2.1 Data You Provide
| Data Type | Purpose | Retained? |
|---|---|---|
| Clipboard contents | Transfer between paired desktop/mobile devices | Temporarily (during active session only) |
| Text you type | Inject simulated keyboard input on target | Temporarily (during active session only) |
| Session preferences | Remember user settings (WPM speed limit, etc.) | Until config file is cleared |
| Configuration data | Store user credentials and local settings | Indefinitely in local files (`~/.lanpad/config.json`) |
2.2 Technical Data Collected Automatically
| Data Type | Purpose | Retained? |
|---|---|---|
| Local IP address | Generate QR code for local network pairing | Session-only |
| Device hostname | Identify target connection terminals in GUI | Session-only |
| Platform details | Adapt system shortcuts to macOS or Windows | Session-only |
| Session pairing token | Authenticate and cryptographically pair phone | Session-only |
Data We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect or monitor your name, GPS location, web search histories, persistent keystroke inputs, or telemetry configurations. All transfers happen locally.
3. WHERE IS MY DATA STORED?
Local-Only Processing: LANpad processes data only on your local network. Your clipboard text never leaves your local Wi-Fi, and no centralized databases hold copy logs.
Plaintext local transport: Because local network traffic is routed via HTTP (not HTTPS) for convenience, it is readable by users sharing the same subnet. Secure your Wi-Fi network using WPA3.
4. THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS
LANpad does not integrate with any external advertisement networks or tracking cookies (e.g. Google Analytics). The application may contact verification servers solely to check license validations (`https://lanpad.app/api/monetization/status`) or download updated web UI templates from GitHub repository. No private clipboard data is ever sent during these checks.
5. YOUR RIGHTS & CONTROLS
Because configuration data is saved locally, you can view or delete it immediately:
// View config data (macOS):
cat ~/.lanpad/config.json// Delete config data (macOS):
rm -rf ~/.lanpad6. DATA RETENTION POLICY
| Data Type | Retention Duration | Deletion Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Session logs | Duration of the pairing connection only | Automatic cleanup on disconnect |
| Clipboard text | Memory-buffered only during sync events | Cleared instantly on exit |
| License keys | Until revoked or manually deleted | Manual deletion of file |
