The short version

Your controller input never leaves your Wi-Fi — it goes phone to PC and nowhere else. There are no accounts. The only data we see is anonymous usage counts, described in full below.

This website

gamepad.pro uses Google Analytics and a Microsoft Advertising tag to understand how visitors find the site and whether the download button gets clicked. Neither sets cookies unless you press “Accept” on the consent banner; if you decline, Google Analytics runs in cookieless mode with no persistent identifier, and the Microsoft tag does not load at all.

The download counter on the homepage is read from GitHub’s public API; GitHub counts downloads on their side. Downloads are served via gamepad.pro and redirect to GitHub releases.

The Windows app

On launch, the Windows companion app sends a small anonymous ping — a randomly generated ID and an event name — so we can count active installs. The ID is random, is not tied to your name, email, or hardware, and cannot identify you. The app also checks GitHub for new versions.

Everything else stays local: pairing, controller input, trackpad and keyboard data all travel directly from your phone to your PC over your own network and are never sent to us or anyone else.

The Android app

The Android app talks only to your PC on your local network. It has no analytics and no internet-facing features.

Your choices

You can decline analytics cookies on the banner (or clear the choice by clearing this site’s data in your browser to be asked again). Blocking the app’s launch ping with a firewall rule does not affect functionality.
