Sesame Android ContinuityPrivacy Policy
Sesame Android Continuity ("the app", on Mac and on Android) is published by SESAME FORTUNE ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have. Contact: support@sesamefortune.com.
1. What the app moves between your devices
When you use the app, the following travel only between your Mac and the Android phones you have paired with it, over your local Wi-Fi network:
- Clipboard content (text, links and images) when you send it or when automatic sending is on;
- Files you choose to send;
- The name and model each device shows, so you can tell them apart;
- Technical data needed to keep the connection secure (device identifiers and public keys exchanged when you pair).
Every connection uses TLS 1.3 with both devices authenticating each other with keys created on the devices during pairing. Nothing passes through a server, and nothing is sent to us or to anyone else.
2. What stays on your devices
- Pairing records: the paired devices' identifiers, public keys, names and your settings for each of them;
- Received files, saved in your Downloads folder (Mac: Downloads › Sesame Continuity; Android: Download/Sesame Continuity);
- Transfer history (file name, size, device, time, result), kept for at most 30 days;
- Local diagnostic logs, without clipboard or file content, kept for at most 7 days.
Clipboard items received from the other device are placed on the clipboard and are not stored by the app.
3. Data we collect
None. The app has no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking, and in this version it connects to no internet service at all — only to your paired devices on your local network.
4. Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Local network (Mac and Android) | Find your paired devices on your Wi-Fi and connect to them directly |
| Camera (Android) | Scan the pairing QR code shown on your Mac; images are analysed on the phone and never stored or sent |
| Notifications (Android) | Show that the app is connected, file transfers and clipboard actions |
| Background connection (Android) | Stay connected to your Mac while the app is closed; you can turn this off in Settings |
| Clipboard (Mac and Android) | Send and receive clipboard content; on Android the clipboard is read only when you choose to send it |
| Files you choose | Send them, and save files you receive in your Downloads folder |
| Open at login (Mac) | Start in the menu bar when you log in; you can turn this off in Settings |
5. Clipboard sharing and your controls
Clipboard sharing is on in both directions for a newly paired device. You can turn each direction off, per device, at any time. On the Mac, items your password manager marks as concealed or transient are not sent automatically. You can stop all sharing by turning automatic sending off, by removing a device, or with Erase all data.
6. Sharing
We do not sell, rent or share any data, because we do not receive any. Data you send goes only to the devices you paired.
7. Deleting your data
Use Erase all data in the app's Settings, or uninstall the app: this deletes pairings, keys, settings and history on that device. Received files stay in your Downloads folder until you delete them. Removing a device in the app also tells the other device that the pairing has ended.
8. Children
The app is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country) and collects no personal data from anyone.
9. Security
All data in transit between your devices is encrypted (TLS 1.3, mutual authentication with keys held in the Mac Keychain and the Android Keystore). Pairing requires scanning a QR code and confirming the same code on both devices.
10. Your rights
Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you have a question or a request, write to support@sesamefortune.com and we will reply within 30 days.
11. Changes
If the app ever starts handling data differently — for example an optional feature to connect away from your local network — we will update this page and the date above before that feature is released, and describe it in the app.
