1. Scope and Roles

GetZeroCast is the official website, account portal, download source, and subscription interface for Zero Cast. Zero Cast is a consent-first screen casting, remote support, audio sharing, and direct file transfer app for Android and Windows. This policy covers the website and the app features described below. A payment completed through Paddle is also subject to Paddle's own buyer terms and privacy notice.

2. Information You Provide

Depending on the feature you use, you may provide:

Google account details used for sign-in, such as your name, verified email address, profile image, and account identifier.
Support form details, including your name, email address, subject, message, and any transaction reference you choose to provide.
Device names, custom Zero Cast UID details, pairing codes, settings, and trusted-device choices.
Files that you deliberately select for transfer to another device.

Do not send passwords, full payment-card details, private authentication codes, or unnecessary sensitive information through the Contact form.

3. Google Account and Identity

Zero Cast uses Google sign-in and related authentication services to identify your account and connect the same Premium entitlement across supported Android and Windows devices. We may process your verified email address, display name, profile image, provider identifier, authentication tokens, and session status. GetZeroCast does not receive or store your Google password. Authentication tokens are used to maintain a signed-in session and should not be shared.

4. Device, Network, and Diagnostic Information

The apps and website may process technical information needed to operate and protect the service, including app version, platform, device or installation identifiers, device name, operating-system version, language, IP address, network status, local Wi-Fi information, connection timestamps, request status, session state, error details, and basic performance information. Nearby-device discovery may require Wi-Fi or location-related permission on Android because of operating-system requirements. Location permission is used for supported network discovery and is not intended to create a location history.

Screen sharing starts only after the person using the sharing device approves the request and grants the operating system's screen-capture permission. Audio sharing requires supported hardware, operating-system support, and any required microphone or system-audio permission. Screen frames and audio are processed in real time so the approved receiving device can display or play them. They are not intended to be stored by the GetZeroCast website as part of an ordinary casting session. The receiving user or device may still be able to capture or record what is shared, so share only with people you trust and stop the session when it is no longer needed.

6. Remote Control and Accessibility

Remote control is optional and requires separate approval. On Android, supported remote input uses an Accessibility Service that the device owner must enable in system settings. When enabled for an approved session, it may perform requested gestures such as tap, hold, drag, swipe, scroll, or navigation. On Windows, supported controls may operate the mouse or app interface after approval. Zero Cast must not be used to control a device without the owner's knowledge and permission. Protected screens, secure desktop prompts, elevated windows, and restricted media may not be available for capture or control.

7. Pairing, Nearby Connections, and Remote Sessions

Zero Cast may discover devices on the same local network, pair devices through a code or QR code, remember trusted devices, and create connection records needed to establish or maintain a session. Long-distance casting may use account-based discovery, signaling infrastructure, and TURN or WebRTC relay services. These services may process connection metadata and may relay encrypted session traffic when a direct connection is unavailable. Trust can be removed and sessions can be ended from the available app controls.

8. File Transfers

Files are transferred only after you select them and choose or approve a receiving device. The apps may process file name, type, size, source path, destination, transfer progress, completion status, and local transfer history. Ordinary device-to-device file content is delivered to the selected recipient and is not intended to be uploaded to or retained by the GetZeroCast website. A recipient controls the received copy, so verify the destination before sending.

9. Camera, Clipboard, Notifications, and Background Operation

Camera permission is used for supported QR-code scanning. Clipboard access occurs when you choose an action such as copying or pasting a Zero Cast UID or pairing code. Notifications and foreground services may show active casting, listening, pairing, or transfer status. If you enable supported keep-alive or start-on-boot behavior, the app may resume a visible background listener after a device restart. Battery optimization settings may affect these features. You can change permissions and background settings through the app or operating system.

10. Website Analytics, Downloads, and Support

GetZeroCast records limited first-party activity needed to count page visits, active sessions, and official downloads. This may include a randomly generated browser session identifier, requested page, download path, platform, package role, timestamp, and user-agent information. Hosting and security systems may also record IP addresses and request logs. Support submissions are stored so the request can be reviewed, answered, secured, and documented.

11. Premium and Payment Information

GetZeroCast processes the subscription information needed to grant and remove Premium access, including the subscribed email, plan, status, provider, transaction or subscription identifiers, billing period, trial status, current-period end, cancellation state, and update timestamps. Website checkout is handled by Paddle as merchant of record. Paddle processes billing contact details, payment method, taxes, receipts, fraud checks, and the transaction under its own policies. GetZeroCast receives limited billing and entitlement data and does not store full payment-card numbers. Manual promotional or support grants may be recorded without a Paddle customer portal record.

12. How Information Is Used

Information is used to authenticate accounts, discover and pair devices, establish approved sessions, deliver selected files, enforce Free and Premium limits, activate or expire entitlements, provide customer support, publish official releases, count legitimate usage, prevent fraud or abuse, diagnose failures, secure the service, comply with legal obligations, and improve reliability. We do not use screen content or transferred file content for advertising.

We share information only as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including with:

Google and Firebase for authentication and account identity.
Supabase for account-linked data, subscription entitlements, signaling records, release metadata, and support storage.
Vercel and related hosting providers for website delivery, security, and technical logs.
Paddle and its payment partners for checkout, tax, fraud prevention, receipts, subscription management, and refunds.
Cloudflare or other network relay providers when remote connectivity requires signaling or relayed traffic.
Authorities or professional advisers when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, or legal rights.

Providers may process information in countries other than your own under their applicable safeguards and policies.

14. Retention and Security

Account and subscription records are kept while needed to provide access, maintain billing history, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and meet legal or accounting requirements. Trusted-device, settings, cache, and transfer-history data may remain on your device until you remove it, sign out, clear app data, or uninstall the app. Signaling and operational records are retained only as reasonably needed for service operation and security. Support messages and infrastructure logs are retained according to operational and legal needs. We use access controls, secure transport, restricted administration, and provider security features, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

15. Your Choices and Rights

You can decline a connection, stop a session, disable remote control, revoke Android Accessibility or screen-capture permission, change camera, microphone, nearby-device, notification, and background permissions, remove trusted devices, sign out, cancel future subscription renewal, and contact us about your information. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. Some records may be retained where required for security, billing, legal claims, or compliance.

16. Children

Zero Cast is not directed to children who cannot legally consent to account, device, or payment activity. A parent, guardian, device owner, or other authorized adult should supervise use where required. Do not use the app to monitor a child or any other person secretly.

17. Changes and Contact

We may update this policy when Zero Cast features, providers, legal requirements, or data practices change. The current version and update date will appear on this page. Privacy questions, requests, or complaints must be submitted through the Contact form available from the GetZeroCast website footer.
