Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Desoline (“Desoline,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the owner and operator of Gamepad Pro, collects, uses, shares, stores, and protects information when you visit gamepad.pro, download or use Gamepad Pro applications, contact us, or otherwise interact with Gamepad Pro.
Desoline is responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy, except where a third-party service provider acts as an independent controller under its own privacy policy.
Gamepad Pro is designed so that controller input between the mobile device and PC remains on the user’s local network.
1. Information We Collect
The information collected depends on how you use Gamepad Pro.
Website Information
When you visit gamepad.pro, Desoline and authorized service providers may process technical information such as:
- Browser type

- Device information
- Referring website or advertising source
- Pages visited
- Website interactions
- Download interactions
- Date and time information
- Cookie or similar technology identifiers where applicable
- Advertising attribution and conversion information
Gamepad Pro PC Companion Telemetry
When the Gamepad Pro PC companion launches, it sends a limited telemetry event to Desoline over HTTPS. While it runs, it repeats this as a periodic heartbeat, and it sends a final exit event when it closes. The heartbeat and exit events add only how long the companion has been running.
This may contain:
- A random per-install identifier
- Gamepad Pro application version
- Operating system
Desoline uses this information to understand installation counts and general application usage.
The identifier is generated on the PC and is not intentionally associated by Desoline with a user’s name or email address.
The telemetry does not intentionally contain controller input, gameplay information, trackpad movements, keyboard input, or content transmitted between the mobile device and PC.
Controller and Input Data
Gamepad Pro is designed so that pairing and controller-related information, including:
- Controller input
- Trackpad input
- Keyboard input
- Pairing communication
travels directly between your phone and PC over your local network.
Desoline does not intentionally receive or store this controller input.
Android Application
The Gamepad Pro Android application is designed to communicate directly with the Gamepad Pro PC companion over the user’s local network.
The Android application does not intentionally transmit controller input to Desoline.
