Privacy Policy for RR Roku Remote

Last Updated: January 23, 2026

Overview

RR Roku Remote is a browser extension that lets you control Roku devices on your local network. Your privacy is important to us.

Data Collection

We collect minimal data necessary to provide our service.

The extension does not:

• Track your browsing activity
• Use analytics or tracking services
• Display advertisements
• Require account creation or sign-in

Data Storage

The extension stores the following data locally in your browser:

• Device Information: IP addresses and nicknames of your Roku devices
• Preferences: UI settings and quick app selections
• Visitor ID: An anonymous identifier used for subscription management

This local data is not accessible to us or any third party.

Network Communication

The extension communicates with:

1. Roku devices on your local network using Roku's External Control Protocol (ECP) over HTTP port 8060
2. Our licensing server (app.techgripes.net) to manage trial periods and the one-time lifetime license

License & Payments

For premium features, we use Stripe to process the one-time $3 payment. When you purchase:

• Stripe collects your payment information directly (we never see your full card number)
• We store only an anonymous visitor ID linked to your license status
• Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe under their Privacy Policy

We store in our database:

• Anonymous visitor ID
• License status (trial, active, expired)
• If you use multi-browser activation, the email address you provide at checkout (used only to link your license across your browsers)

We do NOT store:

• Your name or contact information beyond the optional activation email described above
• Credit card numbers or payment details
• Browsing history or personal data

Permissions

The extension requests these permissions:

• Storage: To save your device list and preferences locally
• Alarms: To power the sleep timer feature
• Host Permission (port 8060): To communicate with Roku devices on your network
• Host Permission (app.techgripes.net): To verify license status

Third Parties

• Stripe: Processes payments. See Stripe's Privacy Policy
• Redis Cloud: Stores anonymous subscription data (visitor ID and status only)

Children's Privacy

This extension does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
