This policy covers the Android app Screen Mirroring: Cast to TV (package screen.mirroring.cast.screenmirroring). It describes what the app collects, what it does not, and who receives what. "We" and "us" mean the developer of this app; "the app" means the Android application named above.
Your screen and your files never reach us. When you mirror or cast, the picture and the files travel from your phone straight to your television across your own Wi-Fi network. They are not uploaded to us and not routed through any server of ours. We do not operate a server that your media passes through.
There is no account. Nothing to register, nothing to sign in to, no profile.
We do collect anonymous usage statistics and crash reports, and the app shows advertisements, which involve your device's advertising ID. Both are described in full below.
Purchases are made through Google Play. We never see your card or payment details; the app learns only whether you have Pro and which plan.
The app asks for permission to read the photos, videos and audio files on your device. It uses that permission for one purpose: to list your files so you can choose one, and to hand the chosen file to your television.
How the handover works, because it matters: the app runs a small web server on your phone, on your local network only, and gives your television a link to it. Your TV then fetches the file directly from your phone. Nothing is uploaded to the internet, and no copy is kept anywhere but your own device.
The app does not read, index, scan or transmit your files for any other reason. It has no "backup", no "cloud" and no sync.
Screen mirroring. Where your phone and television support it, mirroring is performed by Android itself, through your phone's own system panel, and the app does not capture, record or encode your screen for that.
For a phone or television that Android's own mirroring cannot reach, the app can instead stream your screen itself. It captures the picture, and on Android 10 and newer the sound your phone is playing, and sends that live, from your phone straight to the television you picked, over your own Wi-Fi network only. Android shows you its own on-screen prompt before every one of these sessions, which you can decline, and a notification with a Stop button while one is running. The app chooses which way to mirror; it never asks you to pick, and never sends anything until you start a session.
Either way, the picture is generated and sent live: the app does not save a copy, does not keep a recording, and nothing about what is on your screen or in its sound is ever uploaded anywhere or reaches any server of ours. It goes only to the television you chose, on your own network, and stops the moment you stop it or close the notification. Some apps, such as those playing copy-protected video, show a black screen to any screen capture, including this one; that is a restriction those apps place on themselves, not something this app does.
About the microphone permission. Sending sound with a screen stream uses the same Android permission apps use for the microphone, because that is how Android's audio system works, not because this app listens to it. The app never accesses your microphone and never hears anything happening around you. The only sound it can ever send is audio your own phone is already playing, such as a video's soundtrack, captured only while you are actively streaming to a television you chose. If you decline this permission, mirroring still works; the television just will not get sound from a streamed session.
Finding your television. The app looks for televisions on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to, by asking devices on that network to identify themselves. It does this only while you have the app open. What it learns (that a television of a particular brand and model answered) is used to show you the list, and is recorded in the usage analytics described below. The scan does not leave your network.
The app does not use your location or your camera, and never listens to your microphone or your surroundings.
We record how the app is used, so we can tell whether it works and whether people want it. What that covers:
What you did in the app: that you opened it, finished or skipped the introduction, asked to mirror, started casting a photo, video or song, how long a session lasted, whether the app asked you to rate it, and whether you opened the Pro screen, started a purchase, and which plan was bought or whether the purchase was cancelled.
Whether it worked: whether a connection succeeded or failed, why it failed, how it connected (Android's own mirroring or the app's own stream), and how long it took.
What hardware was involved: the kind, maker and model of the televisions and streaming devices found on your network, the protocols they answered on and the video formats they say they can play, and your own device model and Android version. Never a device's name, network address or serial number.
Where you came from: the Play install referrer, which tells us which advert or promotion led to the install, and your approximate location at country level.
An app instance identifier, which distinguishes one installation from another. It is not your name, your email or your account.
We never record the names or contents of your files. We record that a photo was cast, never which photo. We do not record what is on your screen while you mirror.
When the app crashes we receive a stack trace, your device model, Android version, and the state of the app at the moment it failed. This is used to fix crashes and nothing else.
When it starts, the app fetches one setting from Google: a switch that lets us stop the app asking you to rate it, without shipping a new version. The request carries an app instance identifier and basic details such as the app version and your device's language, and nothing about your files, your screen or what you cast.
After something has worked, the app may ask Google Play to show you its rating card. The card, your rating and any review are Google Play's: the app never learns whether the card appeared or what you chose, only that it asked.
The app is supported by advertising. Adverts are supplied by Google AdMob and, where we use them, its mediation partners.
To select, show and measure adverts, the advertising SDK collects and transmits your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and your interactions with the advert. This information is shared with Google and with advertising partners. Google's own description of what it collects is at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
This is the one category of data that leaves your device and is shared with a third party. We state it plainly because the rest of this policy is about how little else does.
We do not sell your personal information, and adverts are never targeted using the contents of your photos, videos, music or screen: the advertising SDK has no access to any of it.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app shows a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform before any advert is requested. Your choice is stored on your device and honoured by the advertising SDK. You may change it at any time; if you decline, the app continues to work and shows no personalised advertising.
The app offers Pro as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time purchase. Purchases are made and charged by Google Play, and payment is handled entirely by Google: we never receive or store your card number, bank details or billing address. The app learns only whether you have Pro and which plan, so it can unlock it, and we receive Google Play's confirmation of the purchase so we can handle support and refunds. You manage or cancel a subscription in the Google Play app, under Payments and subscriptions.
Feedback. "Send feedback" opens your own email app with a message pre-filled with your device model, Android version and the app version. Nothing is sent until you send it, and you can edit or delete any of it first. We receive whatever you send, at the address below.
Failure reports. If mirroring fails, the app may ask you to type the brand and model of your television. This is optional, it is recorded only as part of the usage analytics described above, and it contains nothing else about you.
Google, as the provider of the analytics, crash-reporting, advertising and billing services the app uses, together with the advertising partners described under "Advertising" above. We use these providers as service providers: they process the data on our behalf, or, in the case of advertising, as described above.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone beyond what this policy describes. Google may process data outside your country; Google's privacy policy governs that processing: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Usage analytics are retained for up to 14 months, and crash reports for up to 90 days; both are the retention periods configured in Google's tools. Advertising data is retained under Google's own policies. Emails you send us are kept until they are no longer needed. You can ask us to delete what we hold about you (see below).
Advertising ID: Android Settings › Privacy › Ads lets you reset it or delete it entirely. Deleting it stops personalised advertising across every app on the device.
Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): change your choice through the consent form.
Everything else: uninstalling the app stops all collection. This app has no in-app switch to turn off analytics or crash reporting; we are stating that rather than implying a control that does not exist.
Access or deletion requests: email the address below and we will act on them.
This app is not directed at children. It is rated for a general audience but its Play target audience is set to 18 and over, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
We update this policy when what the app does changes. The date at the top always reflects the last revision, and the current version is always the one published at this address.
Features may be added, changed or removed as the app develops.
What will not change without us saying so here: your screen and your media stay on your own network. If that ever stops being true, it will be stated in this policy before it happens, not after.
