shterm has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The developer does not collect or sell any personal data.

Connections, keys and passwords are stored in your device's Keychain. Connections, imported keys, passwords, pinned host keys and settings sync between your own devices through your iCloud account (Apple), which the developer cannot read. Device keys live in the Secure Enclave and never leave the device.
Terminal traffic goes directly from your device to the hosts you configure, over SSH or mosh. It does not pass through any server run by the developer.
Microphone and speech recognition are used only while you dictate, and recognition runs on the device. Audio is not stored or sent anywhere.
Camera is used only to scan a Relay enrolment QR code. No images are stored.
Photos and files you choose to paste are uploaded only to your own host, over SSH.
Notifications (optional). If you enrol with a Relay, the Relay stores this device's push token and an identifier for it, so it can send you notifications. Agent approval contents are end-to-end encrypted with a key shared only between your host and your devices; the Relay sees only ciphertext plus routing identifiers, and deletes each approval once it is resolved. Notifications are delivered through Apple Push Notification service.

To remove everything: unpair your hosts in the app and delete the app. Questions about privacy go to the support address above.
