Privacy Policy

Introduction

Zee Cast ("we," "our," or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Zee Cast handles your information when you use our iOS application.

Data Collection

Zee Cast does not collect any personal data. We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
• Device identifiers (UDID, advertising ID)
• Location data
• Usage analytics or statistics
• Crash reports or diagnostics
• Your photos, videos, or media files
• Browsing history or app usage patterns

How Zee Cast Works

Zee Cast is a local media server that operates entirely on your device and local Wi-Fi network:

• Media Access: The app accesses your Photos library only when you explicitly select media to add to collections. This access is granted through iOS permissions.
• Local Network: The app uses your local Wi-Fi network to stream media to DLNA/UPnP compatible devices (smart TVs, media players, etc.).
• No Cloud Storage: Your media is never uploaded to any cloud service or remote server.
• No Internet Required: The app functions completely offline and does not require an internet connection.

Data Storage

All data created by Zee Cast is stored locally on your device:

• Collections: Your media collections and organization preferences are stored locally on your device using iOS's built-in storage.
• Settings: App settings (server name, port, auto-start preference) are stored locally using UserDefaults.
• No Cloud Sync: We do not sync any data to iCloud or any other cloud service.

Network Communication

Zee Cast communicates only on your local Wi-Fi network:

• DLNA/UPnP Protocol: The app uses industry-standard DLNA/UPnP protocols to advertise itself on your local network and serve media to compatible devices.
• No External Servers: The app does not connect to any external servers, APIs, or third-party services.
• No Tracking: We do not use any analytics, tracking pixels, or third-party SDKs that collect data.

Permissions

Zee Cast requests the following iOS permissions, used only for core functionality:

• Photos Library Access: To allow you to select photos and videos to add to your collections.
• Local Network Access: To discover and communicate with DLNA/UPnP devices on your Wi-Fi network.
• Background Audio: To keep the server running while streaming media in the background.

These permissions are used solely for the app's functionality and do not enable any data collection.

Third-Party Services

Zee Cast does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or external APIs.

Children's Privacy

Zee Cast does not collect any data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The app is safe for users of all ages.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect any personal data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete. You maintain complete control over:

• Which media you add to collections (stored locally on your device)
• When the server is running (you can start/stop it at any time)
• Which devices can access your media (limited to your local network)

To completely remove all app data, simply delete the Zee Cast app from your device.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Since the app does not collect data, changes will likely be minor clarifications.
