Privacy Policy

1. The short version

Showpane has no accounts and no servers of its own. It doesn’t show ads, track you across apps or run its own analytics. What you show goes from your iPhone to the screen you choose.

2. What you show

Your screen, photos, videos and files are sent over your local network to the TV, computer or tablet you pick, and only while you’re using that feature. We never receive them. The device showing them, and the company that makes it, may handle them under its own terms.

3. Permissions

Local Network finds and connects to your screens. Photos lets you choose what to show. Location is only used to read your Wi‑Fi name; your location itself isn’t used or saved. Notifications are reminders created on your iPhone. Bluetooth may be used by Google Cast to find nearby devices. You can change any of these in iPhone Settings.

4. Stored on your iPhone

Saved TVs and their Wi‑Fi names, your settings, recent items, browsing history, bookmarks, website data, downloads and files you share to Showpane stay on your iPhone. Private tabs don’t keep website data after they close. Deleting the app removes what it stores.

5. The web browser

Websites you visit and the search engine you choose receive what any browser sends them, and their own privacy policies apply. When a TV plays a web video, it may load the video directly from the website. For some videos your iPhone fetches it for the TV, using that website’s cookies only to reach that website.

6. Google Cast

Showpane includes the Google Cast SDK to work with Chromecast and Google TV. According to Google’s privacy declaration for the SDK, it collects a device ID, diagnostics and product interaction data for analytics and app functionality. Google declares this data is not linked to your identity or used for tracking.

7. Purchases

Subscriptions are handled by Apple. We don’t see your payment details. Your iPhone tells Showpane whether Pro is active.

8. Contacting us

If you email us, we receive your address and message. When Include diagnostics is on, the email also has your app version, iPhone model, iOS version, TV model, connection type, local IP addresses and recent connection events. You can see this list and turn it off before sending. We only use it to reply to you.

9. Children

Showpane isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information.

10. Changes and questions

We’ll update this page when these practices change. For questions or requests about your data, email [email protected].
