BLDC Remote Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

1. Who We Are

BLDC Remote ("the app") is an Android app that uses your phone's infrared blaster to control BLDC ceiling fans. It is built by oodhwe ("we", "our", "us", www.oodhwe.in). This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information. Questions? Contact us at support@oodhwe.in.

2. The Short Version

  • The app works entirely on your device and does not request internet access.
  • There are no accounts or sign-ups.
  • We do not use analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.
  • We do not collect, sell or share your personal information.
  • Pro purchases are handled by Google Play. We never receive your payment details.

3. Information Stored on Your Device

The app saves the following on your device only: the fans you add (brand, nickname and last-sent state such as speed, on/off, light), your settings (vibration, "Sent" message, theme, festival themes), your Pro look choices (blade shape, colours, scene), and the date your free Pro trial started. Photos you choose for fan blades are copied into the app's private storage. They are used to draw your fan and are deleted when you remove the fan, reset its look, or uninstall the app. This data is used to show your remotes and home-screen widgets. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, and is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data.

4. Permissions

  • Transmit IR — to send infrared commands to your fan. No data is read from the sensor.
  • Vibrate — for the optional haptic tap when a button is pressed.
  • Google Play billing — to check and restore a Pro purchase with Google Play.

The app does not access your contacts, location, camera, microphone, files or messages. It reads only the photos you pick yourself, through the system photo picker, for fan blades.

5. Contacting Support

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply to you and to improve the app, and we do not share it with third parties.

6. Third-Party Links and Components

Links in the app (such as this policy and the Terms of Service) open in your browser or email app, and those sites are governed by their own policies. The app uses open-source libraries that run on your device and do not send your data anywhere. Google Play may collect its own information when you install the app and when you buy or restore Pro, under Google's privacy policy.

7. Children

The app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children, and requires no account or personal details.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If the app's data practices change, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
