Privacy Policy — Rok Power Remote
Last updated: 2026-08-15
Rok Power Remote controls Roku devices on your own local network. It is built so that it has nothing to collect: it does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data.
What we don't collect
- No accounts. The app has no sign-in.
- No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier.
- No advertising SDKs, third-party trackers, or data brokers.
- No location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or health data are accessed.
Where data goes
- Your Roku. The app sends HTTP requests straight to your Roku's local address on port 8060 (its External Control Protocol) — button presses, text you type onto the TV, and requests for the TV's name and channel list. These stay on your local network and reach no server of ours, because we don't run one.
- Wake-on-LAN. To wake a sleeping TV the app broadcasts a "magic packet" containing your TV's hardware address on your local network only.
- Apple. If you buy the one-time unlock, the transaction is handled entirely by Apple's In-App Purchase system. We never see your payment details; the app only asks Apple whether this Apple ID owns the unlock.
What's stored on your device
Kept in local app storage, never transmitted:
- The address, name, and hardware address (MAC) of the last Roku you connected to
- Your layout: which features are shown, their order, your custom buttons, and your theme
- Macros you record, text you've typed to the TV, and recent button history
- A cached flag for whether the unlock was purchased
Deleting the app deletes all of it.
Local Network permission
iOS asks for Local Network access on first launch. The app needs it to find and reach your Roku. It is used for nothing else, and denying it only means the app can't reach your TV.
Children
The app is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
