Affluent Labs ("we", "us", "our") operates the ZestSSH application for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Information You Provide
- Connection details: Server hostnames, ports, and labels you configure within the App. These are stored locally on your device.
- SSH keys and credentials: Authentication credentials you create or import. Passwords and private keys are stored exclusively in your device's secure storage (Keychain on iOS/macOS, EncryptedSharedPreferences/Keystore on Android, DPAPI on Windows, libsecret on Linux) and are never transmitted to our servers.
- Purchase information: When you purchase ZestSSH Squeezed, payment is processed entirely by Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not collect or store your payment details.
Information Collected Automatically
None. ZestSSH has zero tracking, zero analytics, and zero crash reporting. We do not use Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, or any other telemetry service. We have no idea how you use the app, how often you open it, or what features you use.
- Purchase verification: We use RevenueCat to verify in-app purchase entitlements. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and purchase receipt data from the platform stores. This is the only third-party service that receives any data, and it contains no personal information.
Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect any analytics, usage data, or telemetry of any kind.
- We do not collect crash reports or diagnostics.
- We do not collect, log, or transmit your SSH session content, terminal output, or command history.
- We do not collect your SSH private keys or passwords.
- We do not read, intercept, or proxy your SSH connections. All connections are made directly from your device to the destination server.
- We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for advertising purposes.
- We do not serve ads of any kind.
- We do not know who you are, what servers you connect to, or what you do with the app.
Juiced (Optional Feature)
If you choose to enable Juiced (a separate paid add-on):
- Your connection configurations and encrypted credential references are synced to our servers.
- Sensitive data (passwords, private keys) is encrypted end-to-end on your device before upload. We cannot decrypt this data.
- Juiced data is stored on servers within the United States.
- You can delete all synced data at any time from the App settings.
Data Storage and Security
- All connection data and credentials are stored locally on your device by default.
- Sensitive credentials use platform-native secure storage (iOS/macOS Keychain, Android Keystore, Windows DPAPI, Linux libsecret).
- The local database is encrypted with SQLCipher using a key held in secure storage, and is stored in the App's private directory.
- Local backups (.zest files) are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a password you choose (minimum 12 characters). Backup files never leave your device unless you manually export them.
- Automation Engine API keys are stored in the same platform-native secure storage as SSH credentials. They are never transmitted to our servers.
Third-Party Services
- RevenueCat for in-app purchase verification only. Privacy Policy
- Apple App Store / Google Play Store for payment processing.
- Cloudflare for CDN and proxy services on our website and Juiced infrastructure. Privacy Policy
That's the complete list. No analytics providers, no ad networks, no data brokers, no tracking pixels.
Children's Privacy
ZestSSH is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your Rights
- Delete all locally stored data by uninstalling the App.
- Delete Juiced data from the App settings (if enabled).
- Contact us to request deletion of any data associated with your account.
- There are no analytics to opt out of — we don't collect any.
GDPR & CCPA Compliance
We comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we collect no analytics or telemetry, there is very little data to manage. To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through an in-app notice or by updating the "Last updated" date.
