Camera and connection information
RemoteLens can process live camera frames, camera controls and metadata, optional microphone audio, a locally generated installation identifier, device name, and trusted-device history. Live previews are held for the session. Captures are saved to the camera device's Photos library when requested, and trusted-device history stays locally until cleared.
Direct encrypted connection
Nearby devices communicate using Apple's Multipeer Connectivity with required transport encryption. Apple operating-system services facilitate discovery and transport, but RemoteLens does not route the camera session through a Brent Gaddis server.
Permissions and recipients
Camera, Microphone, Motion, Photos Add, Local Network, and Bonjour access are used only for the features that require them. A paired controller can see the live preview and send supported controls during the session, so trust only devices and people you recognize. Anyone with access to a saved capture can copy or share it independently.
Retention and your controls
The app can remember up to 12 trusted devices until you forget them or remove the app. In-memory previews clear with the session or process. Temporary recordings are designed for deletion after processing, while requested captures remain in Apple Photos until you delete them there. Recipient devices or backups may retain copies outside RemoteLens.
Website analytics
RemoteLens Pro's page on brentgaddis.com uses first-party, aggregate website analytics operated through Cloudflare. The site counts page views and allowlisted actions such as opening an App Store, support, or privacy link; it also keeps coarse source, country, device, browser, operating-system, engagement, performance, and reliability totals. It does not store raw event rows, visitor or session identities, IP or hashed-IP identifiers, cookie or local-storage visitor IDs, full user agents, full referrers or URLs, form contents, arbitrary text, or a person's raw click history. Country and source cells below five are suppressed, and aggregates are retained for up to 24 months. Cloudflare still processes request and network metadata as necessary to deliver and protect the site. These website measurements are separate from the app.
