Privacy Policy

Updated November 4, 2026

ServerKiln (the Mac app, the iPhone app and its widgets) collects no personal information. The developer runs no servers and never receives, stores or analyzes your data. There are no ads, analytics or third-party SDKs.

Where your data lives

• On your device: the server list, settings and history stay on your device.
• Your iCloud: with iPhone sync on, server connection details (display name, host, port, user, host public keys), status snapshots and alert events are written to the CloudKit private database in your own iCloud account, which only you can access. Alert events are kept for 7 days.
• iCloud Keychain: the dedicated SSH private keys created for iPhone live only in iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted by Apple, and are never written to CloudKit or any file.

What the app connects to

The app connects only to servers you add (over SSH) and runs only its built-in read-only collector. The Mac app uses the system ssh with your existing config and never reads your existing private keys. Push alerts are delivered by Apple Push Notification service through CloudKit.

Deleting your data

Deleting the app removes its local data. Revoking a server in Settings → iPhone on the Mac removes its server-side authorization, keychain keys and iCloud records. You can also delete ServerKiln's iCloud data in iPhone Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Storage.

Children

ServerKiln is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
