Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Cast TV Apps ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use our mobile application ("App").

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of the App.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect and process only the information necessary to provide the functionality of the App.

Depending on the features you use and the permissions you grant, the App may process the following types of information.

1.1 Screen and Display Content

The App provides screen casting and screen mirroring functionality.

When you choose to start screen mirroring or casting, Android may display a system permission dialog asking you to authorize screen capture through the MediaProjection framework.

If you grant this permission, the App may temporarily access the content displayed on your device screen for the purpose of mirroring or casting it to a compatible TV or casting device.

Screen content is processed only when you actively start a screen mirroring or casting session.

We do not intentionally collect or store the contents of your screen for purposes unrelated to providing the requested functionality.

You can stop screen mirroring or casting at any time through the App or Android system controls.

1.2 Microphone and Audio Information

The App may request microphone permission when audio capture is required for screen casting or mirroring.

If you grant microphone permission and activate a feature that requires audio capture, the App may access audio from the device microphone for the purpose of transmitting or supporting audio during the casting or mirroring session.

Microphone access is not intended to be used when the relevant feature is not active.

You can revoke microphone permission at any time through your Android device settings.

1.3 Photos and Videos

The App may request access to photos and videos stored on your device.

Depending on your Android version, this may include:

• READ_MEDIA_IMAGES

• READ_MEDIA_VIDEO

• READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

This access allows you to select photos or videos that you want to cast or display on a compatible TV or casting device.

We do not claim ownership of your photos or videos.

Media files are accessed only to provide the functionality you request.

1.4 Device and Network Information

To discover and communicate with compatible TVs and casting devices, the App may process technical network information, including:

• Wi-Fi connection information.

• Network state.

• Local network information.

• Device and network configuration information required for casting.

• IP address or network-related technical information where required for communication.

The App may use Wi-Fi and local-network capabilities to discover compatible devices and establish a connection between your mobile device and the selected TV or casting device.
