Privacy
Last updated 23 August 2026
DriveCast TV runs on your own computer and sends your photos and videos to your own TV over your own Wi-Fi. We do not receive your files, and there is no account for us to attach them to.
What we collect
When you use DriveCast TV at home: nothing.
The app has no sign-up, asks for no email address, and sends us no analytics about your library. Your folders, filenames, photos and videos are read by the app on your computer and never transmitted to us.
What stays on your computer
- Your photos and videos, which are never copied off your machine by us
- The list of folders you have chosen to share
- Thumbnails and converted copies the app creates so your TV can play things smoothly
- Which TVs you have connected, and how far through a video you were
All of it lives in your own user folder. Uninstalling the app or deleting that folder removes it.
Checking for updates
The app periodically asks our update server whether a newer version exists. That request tells us the version you are running and your general location, as any web request does. We do not connect it to an identity, because we do not have one for you.
Watching away from home
This feature is not available yet. When it arrives, it will work like this, and this section will be updated before it does:
- Your media travels through a relay we operate, because a television cannot connect directly to your computer across the internet.
- It is encrypted end to end. The key stays on your computer, so the relay carries sealed data it cannot read.
- Nothing is stored on the relay. It forwards data and keeps none of it.
- People you invite still never create an account. Their TV holds a key, not a login.
- If you subscribe, our payment provider handles your billing details. We do not see or store your card number.
What we never do
- Look at, scan or index your photos and videos
- Sell or share anything with advertisers or data brokers
- Put advertising or tracking in the app
- Require an account from the people you share with
Children
DriveCast TV is a tool for your own files and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.
Your choices
Because we hold nothing about you, there is nothing to request, export or delete from us. Everything the app knows is on your computer and under your control. Removing a connected TV or deleting the app removes it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters — particularly when away-from-home viewing launches — we will update this page and the date above, and say so in the app.
