Aura Gamepad Pro lets you play touch-screen games with a physical controller. This policy describes exactly what the app stores on your device, what it sends to Google’s services, and what it never touches.
It does not read, record or transmit what is on your screen. The app sends touch input to games; it does not receive or inspect their content.
It does not read the contents of games, modify them, or access their memory.
This version has no account system. There is nothing to sign in to.
It does not sell your data. This version contains no advertising SDK and shares nothing with advertising networks.
The following never leaves your phone. It is held in the app’s private storage, which other apps cannot read:
Control layouts and profiles. Your per-game mappings, stick settings and macros.
Your selected games. Which apps you have added to the games list.
The list of installed apps. The app reads the list of launchable apps so you can pick a game to map. This list is read on your device to draw that picker and is never transmitted.
Pairing keys. The credentials used for the local debugging connection described in section 4.
The app uses four Google services. Data sent to them is governed by Google’s privacy policy in addition to this one:
Firebase Analytics. App usage events — such as opening the app or saving a mapping — together with an app instance identifier, your device model, operating system version, approximate country and the Android advertising ID. Used to understand which features are used.
Firebase Crashlytics. If the app crashes: a stack trace, the device model and operating system version, and a crash installation identifier. Used to find and fix faults.
Firebase Remote Config. Fetches configuration, including the minimum supported app version. Sends an app instance identifier.
Firebase App Check with Play Integrity. Sends a device integrity token so the app’s own requests can be distinguished from forged ones.
None of these receive your control layouts, your list of games, your screen contents, or any account information.
Display over other apps. Draws the mapping overlay on top of a running game so you can place and adjust controls.
Wireless debugging / developer options. Starts the local service that converts controller input into touch events. The connection is made by the app to your own device over the loopback network and is never exposed off the device. It is used to send input only — not to read screen content, passwords or files.
Notifications. Shows the ongoing service notification Android requires while the mapping service runs, and prompts you when pairing needs a code.
Internet and network state. Used by the Google services in section 3 and to check for updates.
Firebase Analytics collects the Android advertising ID. You can reset it or opt out of personalisation at any time in Settings → Privacy → Ads on your device. This version shows no adverts and contains no advertising SDK.
Changes are published on this page with a new date at the top, and material changes are noted in the app’s release notes. If a future version introduces accounts, advertising or any other new data collection, this policy will be updated before that version is released — not after.
