Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2023

Welcome to TV Cast - Cast for Chromecast (referred to as "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our TV Cast - Cast for Chromecast application (the "App"). This policy is provided to ensure transparency, particularly for processes such as Google OAuth verification.

1. Information We Collect

Our App is designed to provide screen mirroring and casting functionalities. We strive to minimize data collection.

  • Non-Personal Information: We may collect non-personal data related to app usage, such as device type, operating system, app version, crash reports, and feature usage statistics. This data is anonymized and used to improve app performance and user experience.
  • Google User Data (via OAuth): If you choose to use features that integrate with Google services (e.g., casting from Google Photos), the App may request access to specific data from your Google account via OAuth 2.0. The specific data requested will be clearly displayed on Google's consent screen before you grant permission. We only request the minimum necessary permissions (scopes) required for the App's functionality. For example, to cast photos from Google Photos, we would request permission to access your photos.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To Provide App Functionality: Information collected, including Google user data accessed via OAuth, is used solely to enable the core features of the App, such as mirroring your screen or casting content from your device or connected services to your TV.
  • App Improvement: Non-personal information is used to understand app usage patterns, diagnose technical issues, and improve the App's features and stability.
  • Google User Data Usage: Data accessed from your Google account is used strictly for the purpose described on the Google consent screen and to provide the specific feature you are using. For example, if you grant access to Google Photos, the App will use this access only to display and cast your photos as you direct. We do not use this data for any other purpose, such as advertising, analytics (beyond direct app functionality), or profiling. The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

  • Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers for tasks like crash reporting or analytics (for non-personal data only). These providers are obligated to protect your information.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
  • Google User Data: We do not share Google user data obtained through OAuth with any third party, except as necessary to provide the App's functionality (e.g., communicating with Google's APIs to fetch your photos for casting, as per your request) or if explicitly required by law.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet-based or mobile application is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. User Control and Data Access

For data accessed via Google OAuth, you can manage and revoke the App's access to your Google account at any time through your Google account security settings page (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions). Revoking access will prevent the App from accessing your Google data for the related features.

6. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
