Usernames and passwords are stored in the system Keychain and are not synced through iCloud. The app contains no advertising or analytics SDKs and does not collect or upload connection details. Before connecting, turn on Screen Sharing or Remote Management in System Settings > General > Sharing on your Mac, and keep both devices on the same trusted local network. A VNC session should not be treated as end-to-end encrypted. Do not expose the VNC port directly to the internet. LAN Screen Control does not provide a public relay, audio, or file transfer.
