1. Overview

Cast to TV: Screen Mirroring is a media casting and playback application that allows users to browse, play, and cast supported media from their device, web pages, and local network to compatible playback devices such as Chromecast, DLNA, or other supported media receivers. 

The App is designed to process most user data locally on the device. However, some features may involve third-party services, websites, advertising SDKs, or devices on your local network.

 2. Information We Access or Process

Cast to TV: Screen Mirroring may request access to photos, videos, and audio files stored on your devices. This access is used only to allow you to:

• Browse local media files,

• Play selected media files,

• Cast selected media files to compatible devices,

• Stream selected local media over your local network to a playback device chosen by you. We do not upload your local media files to our own servers.

• Browser history,

• Bookmarked URLs,

• Recently visited URLs,

• Selected media links detected from web pages.

This data is stored locally to provide browser functionality such as history, bookmarks, and video detection. We do not operate a server that collects or stores your browsing history. Websites you visit inside the browser may collect data according to their own privacy policies. 

Cast to TV: Screen Mirroring is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, cookies, tracking technologies, or data collection performed by third-party websites.

When using the built-in browser, websites may store cookies or other site data through Android WebView. 

Cookies may be used by websites for login sessions, video playback, preferences, analytics, or advertising.

This local streaming is used only for playback/casting functionality. Your media is not uploaded to our own remote server.

Other devices on the same network may technically be able to communicate with your device while local streaming is active. We recommend using the App only on trusted private networks.
