Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 20, 2026 No data collected Android App
InputForge is a gamepad remapping application for Android. This policy explains what data the App stores, how it is used, and your rights. The short version: everything stays on your device.

01 Data Stored on Your Device

All App data is stored exclusively on your device. There are no user accounts, cloud sync, or remote databases.

02 Data Not Collected

The App does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

03 Network Communications

Steam Workshop API

The App may connect to the Steam Web API (Valve Corporation) to fetch controller configurations when explicitly requested by the user. No personal data is transmitted.

Local Shell Helper

The App communicates with its on-device shell helper over localhost TCP (port 38291). This is strictly device-internal — no data leaves your device through this channel.

The App contains no analytics SDKs, advertising libraries, crash reporting services, or telemetry of any kind.

04 Permissions
