Privacy Policy

App: Cast Me (iPhone and iPad)  ·  Developer: iLabbs  ·  Last updated: October 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information the Cast Me app ("the App", "we", "us") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Cast Me lets you play videos, photos, music and websites from your iPhone or iPad on a TV (Chromecast, Roku, LG, Samsung, Fire TV, AirPlay and others), mirror your screen, and use your phone as a TV remote.

Information We Collect

The App does not require an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address or phone number. We do not sell your personal information.

What Stays on Your Device

• Photos, videos and music. With your permission, the App reads your library so you can choose what to play. When you cast, the file is sent directly from your device to your TV over your own Wi-Fi. It is never uploaded to us.
• TVs on your network. With your Local Network permission, the App looks for TVs and streaming devices on your Wi-Fi. TV names and addresses are kept on your device so they appear next time.
• Screen mirroring. Your screen is sent directly from your device to your TV. It is not recorded, and your microphone is never shared.
• Browser. Your browsing history, tabs, favourites and website cookies are stored only on your device. The ad and tracker blocker uses public filter lists (EasyList and EasyPrivacy), which the App downloads from easylist.to; your browsing is not sent there.
• Continue watching, subtitles and settings. Where you stopped watching, poster images, subtitle files you add and your preferences are stored only on your device.

Information Sent to Our Server

Some video websites only play when the request comes from a web server. For those, the App may ask our server at ilabbs.com to fetch the video for your TV. In that case our server receives the video's web address and the address of the page it came from, and, like any web server, your IP address. We use this only to deliver the video to your TV. We do not keep a list of what you watch, and the video is not stored on our server. Other videos are fetched directly by your TV or your device, without our server.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following services, each of which processes data under its own privacy policy:

• Google AdMob shows ads in the free version. It may use device identifiers (such as the advertising identifier, only if you allow tracking when Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt asks), IP address and ad interactions to serve and measure ads, subject to your consent choices below. See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from apps.
• Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) asks for and stores your advertising consent where the law requires it.
• Firebase Analytics collects app usage data (for example, which features are used and which kind of TV you cast to) to help us improve the App.
• Firebase Crashlytics collects crash reports and diagnostic information, including the model of the TV you were casting to, so we can fix problems.
• Firebase Remote Config lets us adjust settings, such as how often ads may appear, without an app update.
• Google Cast connects to Chromecast and Google TV devices on your network. Your TV maker's own service may also receive what you play on that TV.
• OpenSubtitles.com, only when you search for subtitles online: the search words and language you choose are sent to OpenSubtitles to find matching subtitles. See the OpenSubtitles Privacy Policy.
• Apple processes purchases (Cast Me Premium) through the App Store. We never see your payment details. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

Your Consent Choices

• Tracking: the App asks before using your advertising identifier. You can change this at any time in iPhone Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
• Ad consent: where required (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), you can review or change your ad consent at any time in the App: Settings › Privacy.
• Permissions: Photos, Music and Local Network access can be turned off at any time in iPhone Settings › Cast Me. The App keeps working, without those features.
• No ads: Cast Me Premium (a one-time purchase) removes all ads.

Data Retention

Information stored on your device stays there until you delete it or remove the App. Data held by the third-party services above is kept according to their own policies. Our server does not keep the addresses of the videos it fetches for you.

Children

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Connections to our server and to the third-party services use encryption where the service supports it. Casting to your TV happens on your own Wi-Fi network.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows when it last changed. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated policy.
