Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PlayerCast handles information when you use our website and Android application.

PlayerCast is designed as a wireless VR-style display experience for Android. The app allows one Android device to act as the Controller and another Android phone to act as the Display through local connection paths such as Wi-Fi Direct or LAN.

1. Local-first privacy notice

PlayerCast is designed for local Android-to-Android viewing and does not require a PlayerCast account for the core viewing experience.

PlayerCast is not designed to collect, store, upload, sell, or use the content you watch, play, browse, or display for advertising or user profiling.

If you contact support, you may choose to provide your phone brand, phone model, Android version, connection type, and issue details. This information helps us troubleshoot compatibility, assist you better, and improve the PlayerCast experience.

2. Information we collect

PlayerCast is designed to work without requiring a PlayerCast account. Depending on the app version, device settings, Android version, and permissions granted by the user, PlayerCast may access or process:

• Local network information needed to discover and connect nearby devices through Wi-Fi Direct or LAN.
• Screen capture or display content from the Controller device for the local viewing experience.
• Device and app state information needed for connection, streaming, display, troubleshooting, and app stability.
• Purchase status information if the app uses Google Play purchases or licensing.
• Support information if you contact us, including details you choose to provide.

3. Screen content and local streaming

PlayerCast is built around local device-to-device viewing. PlayerCast does not operate as a cloud streaming service and is not designed to upload your screen content to PlayerCast servers for remote storage or viewing.

Some apps, media, or protected content may restrict screen capture, casting, or external display behavior.

4. Permissions

PlayerCast may request Android permissions needed to provide nearby connection, local streaming, display, and app functionality. These permissions may vary by Android version and device.

5. How we use information

• Providing local wireless viewing between Android devices.
• Connecting Controller and Display devices.
• Improving app stability, compatibility, and user experience.
• Responding to support requests.
• Managing app purchase or license status through Google Play where applicable.

6. Information sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information only when necessary for Google Play platform requirements, website hosting, email, analytics, security, legal compliance, fraud prevention, safety, or protection of rights.

7. Website data

When you visit playercastvr.com, standard website hosting systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time of visit.

8. Data retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

9. Children’s privacy

PlayerCast is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

11. Your choices

You can control app permissions through your Android device settings. You may also uninstall PlayerCast at any time.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date on this page.
