What this server keeps

This page describes the qoop server at this address: the service you sign in to and that passes data between your phone or browser and your machines.

[when you sign in with google]

We ask Google only for your basic profile: the scopes openid, email and profile. We keep:

We do not call any Google service on your behalf, do not keep Google's tokens, and do not read your Google data beyond the fields above.

[what stays in memory for minutes]

While you link a machine or ask a machine to let in a new phone or browser, the request holds the network address and rough location it came from, the device's name and kind, and its public key. They are shown to you on your machine so you can tell your own request from someone else's, and are dropped when the request ends or after ten minutes.

[what we cannot see]

Terminal contents travel end to end encrypted between your machine and your phone or browser. This server passes the bytes along and holds no key to read them. A browser, unlike the phone app, runs the page this server sends, so whoever runs this server could change that page; approve only browsers you trust, and their access ends after 30 days. Push notifications carry fixed sentences such as "An agent is waiting for you", never text from your screen; they go through Apple or Google to reach your phone.

[cookies]

Two cookies, both needed for sign-in: one holds the state of a sign-in for ten minutes, the other your session. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party scripts.

[sharing and keeping]

We do not sell or share your data. It is kept on this server, with one backup copy on the same server that is replaced every day. Deleting your account from the app removes your account, sessions and machine links; running qoop logout on a machine unlinks it.
