1. Introduction
Cast to TV: Chromecast allows users to connect compatible phones, TVs, and casting devices and send supported content to a larger screen.
Depending on device and protocol support, the application may provide features for casting videos, photos, music, screen mirroring, playback control, and supported TV remote functions.
Casting availability depends on the phone, TV, streaming device, Wi-Fi network, operating system, and supported casting protocols.
By using the application, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We May Process
Depending on the features you use, the application may process certain technical and device-related information required to provide casting functionality.
This may include:
- Information about available devices on the local network.
- Device and connection information required for casting.
- Network and Wi-Fi state information.
- Information about selected media needed to initiate or control casting.
- Technical information required to maintain a casting connection.
- Application usage and diagnostic information through supported analytics and crash-reporting services.
- Information required by advertising services when advertisements are displayed.
The application does not require you to create an account simply to use basic casting functionality.
3. Media and Casting Features
Cast to TV: Chromecast can allow you to select supported videos, photos, and music from your device and send or display them through a compatible TV or casting device.
Media selection and casting are initiated by you. The application uses the information necessary to identify and process the selected content and establish the requested casting connection.
The application does not claim ownership of the content you cast. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate rights or permission to access, display, or share any content through the application.
4. Permissions Used
The application requests Android permissions that are relevant to its casting, connectivity, screen-mirroring, notification, and related functionality.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| BLUETOOTH_CONNECT | Supports communication with compatible Bluetooth devices when required by supported device or casting functionality. |
| INTERNET | Allows the application to communicate with online services and supported casting or streaming devices over network connections. |
| TRANSMIT_IR | Supports infrared transmission on devices that provide compatible infrared hardware and functionality. |
| ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Allows the application to determine network connectivity status when establishing or maintaining supported connections. |
| ACCESS_WIFI_STATE | Provides Wi-Fi connection information needed for supported network and casting functionality. |
| CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE | Supports network discovery mechanisms that may use multicast communication to discover compatible casting devices on the local network. |
| FOREGROUND_SERVICE | Allows eligible application operations to continue as a foreground service when required by supported functionality. |

Android may allow you to control certain permissions through your device settings. If a required permission is denied, the corresponding feature may not work correctly.
5. Third-Party Services and SDKs
The application uses third-party libraries and services to support casting, networking, media playback, advertising, analytics, crash reporting, notifications, and application configuration.
| Service / SDK / Component | Purpose |

Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. Their data handling is governed by the applicable policies of those providers.
6. Device Discovery and Local Network Connections
The application may discover compatible TVs, streaming devices, or other supported devices available on the same local network.
Device discovery may use Wi-Fi network information, multicast discovery, supported casting protocols, Bluetooth functionality, or other connection methods supported by the device.
Information exchanged during a casting session may include technical connection information, device identifiers, media references, playback commands, and other information required to establish and control the connection.
The application does not claim to access unrelated devices or network content that is not required for the casting functionality you initiate.
7. Screen Mirroring and Media Projection
When you choose to use screen mirroring, Android's media projection framework may be used to capture the screen content you explicitly authorize for mirroring.
Screen mirroring is controlled by Android's system permission and user authorization mechanisms. The application cannot begin an authorized screen capture without the applicable Android approval.
Screen content may be transmitted to the selected compatible device as part of the mirroring session. You should avoid displaying sensitive information on your screen while mirroring if you do not want that information to appear on the connected display.
You can stop screen mirroring using the controls provided by Android or the application, depending on the device and implementation.
8. Advertising and Analytics
The application may display advertisements using Google Mobile Ads and related advertising components included in the application.
Advertising providers may process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, application interaction information, approximate location where permitted, and other technical information required to provide, measure, personalize, or protect advertising services.
Firebase Analytics may process application usage information to help us understand how users interact with features and to improve the application.
Firebase Crashlytics may process technical and diagnostic information associated with application crashes to help us identify and resolve stability problems.
Firebase Remote Config may be used to remotely manage selected application settings or configurations.
Where required by applicable law, consent mechanisms may be used for advertising and related data processing.
9. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information as part of the basic operation of Cast to TV: Chromecast.
Information may be processed by third-party providers when necessary to operate application features, including:
- Casting and device-connection service providers.
- Network and infrastructure providers.
- Media and playback components.
- Advertising service providers.
- Analytics and crash-reporting providers.
- Cloud messaging and configuration providers.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, legal process, court order, governmental request, or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of the application and its users.
Casting itself may involve transmitting selected content and technical connection information to the compatible TV or casting device that you choose.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled through the application and its supporting services.
Network communications may use standard security technologies such as HTTPS/TLS when supported by the relevant service.
However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security for information transmitted over networks or processed by third-party services.
You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your device and for choosing trusted TVs, streaming devices, and networks when using casting or screen-mirroring features.
11. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide application functionality, maintain application operations, address technical issues, comply with legal obligations, or fulfill legitimate operational purposes.
Information processed by third-party providers such as Google services, Firebase, advertising providers, or other service providers may be retained according to their respective policies and retention practices.
Media selected for casting remains subject to the storage and access controls of your device and the relevant application or source from which the media was selected.
We do not state that the application permanently stores copies of every video, photo, or audio file that you cast.
12. Children's Privacy
Cast to TV: Chromecast is a general-purpose casting and media utility application and is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.
We do not knowingly request children to provide personal information for purposes unrelated to the application's functionality.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information in a manner that should not have occurred, please contact us at dr.fashion.appdevelopment.console@gmail.com.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in application features, third-party services, legal requirements, or our information-handling practices.
When changes are made, the revised Privacy Policy will be made available through the application or the relevant application distribution page.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how the application handles information.
