Missy Privacy Policy
The short version: Missy connects your iPhone directly to your own Mac. There is no Missy account, no Missy server, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Nothing about you is collected, sold or shared.
Who we are
Missy is published by RALL Digital (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Missy iOS app and this website. Questions: privacy@rall.digital.
What Missy does
Missy is a client for the Screen Sharing server built into macOS. Your phone talks directly to your Mac over your local network, or over a VPN you choose. The connection is between your devices only.
Information the app uses, and where it stays
- Your Mac’s account name and password. Used only to authenticate to your Mac. If you choose “remember”, they are stored in the iOS Keychain on this device. They are never sent to us and never leave your devices.
- Your local network. With your permission, Missy uses Bonjour to find Macs offering Screen Sharing on the same network. The list of Macs is used on the device and is not transmitted anywhere.
- Your Mac’s screen. Screen contents stream from your Mac to your phone, where they are drawn and then discarded. They are not recorded, uploaded, or sent to us.
- Microphone and speech, only when you start dictation. Audio is transcribed by Apple’s Speech framework. Where the device has an on-device speech model, recognition happens entirely on the phone; otherwise iOS may send audio to Apple for processing under Apple’s privacy policy. Missy does not store your audio, and the recognised text is sent only to your Mac as keystrokes.
- A local diagnostic log. The app keeps a small log on the device (connection stages, frame counts, errors) so problems can be diagnosed. It stays in the app’s storage, is never uploaded, and is removed when you delete the app.
- Recent connections. A short list of Macs you have connected to is stored on the device so you can reconnect quickly. You can remove individual entries or clear the list in the app.
Missy does not request access to your photos, contacts, location, calendars, health data, or files.
What we do not do
- No account, sign-up, or profile.
- No analytics, crash-reporting SDKs, advertising SDKs, or third-party trackers.
- No selling, renting, or sharing of personal information — we do not hold any.
- No server of ours ever sees your screen, your credentials, your audio, or your usage.
Third parties
The app is distributed through Apple’s App Store; Apple processes downloads, purchases (there are none) and crash reports it collects as platform operator under its own policy. Speech recognition is performed by Apple’s Speech framework as described above. We use no other third-party services.
Security
Credentials you choose to save are kept in the iOS Keychain. Authentication with your Mac uses the encryption built into the Screen Sharing protocol, and traffic stays on your network. If you connect over the internet, use a VPN you trust; we recommend not exposing port 5900 directly to the public internet.
Children
Missy is a utility for controlling your own computer and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
Your choices
- Decline or revoke Microphone and Speech Recognition access in iOS Settings; dictation will stop working, nothing else changes.
- Choose not to save a login, and delete saved logins by removing the recent entry in the app.
- Delete the app to remove everything it stored on the device.
Data retention
We retain nothing, because we receive nothing. Data the app stores on your device lives there until you remove it or delete the app.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new effective date. Material changes will be noted in the app’s release notes.
