Overview
ScreenIT is a local-network receiver app. It listens for devices on your local network that want to share their screen and renders that content on the device running ScreenIT.
This Privacy Policy explains what data ScreenIT may collect or share, including (a) optional crash diagnostics, (b) advertising data on the free phone/tablet build, and (c) purchase verification data when you subscribe — and what information it stores locally on your device.
Data we collect / share
Crash diagnostics (Sentry). If crash reporting is enabled in this build, diagnostic events may be sent to Sentry — a third-party error reporting service — to help diagnose stability issues. Events may include device and app information (OS version, device model, app version, stack traces, performance breadcrumbs). ScreenIT configures Sentry with safer defaults (no screenshots, no view hierarchy, no default PII).
Advertising (free version, mobile only). The free version of ScreenIT on phones and tablets shows ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, coarse usage signals, and ad interaction events for ad delivery, frequency capping, and measurement. See the Advertising section below for full detail and opt-out options. Ads are not shown on Android TV / Fire TV builds, and are disabled for users with an active subscription.
Subscriptions (when used). If you purchase a subscription, the purchase token issued by Google Play is sent to our entitlement service to verify the purchase and unlock premium features. See the Subscriptions & purchases section.
Advertising
The free version of ScreenIT (phone/tablet) displays ads served by Google AdMob, a service operated by Google LLC. We integrate the Google Mobile Ads SDK and the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and (where required) collect user consent for ads.
What AdMob may receive:
- Your device's resettable advertising ID (Android Ad ID).
- Coarse device and network information (device model, OS version, language, IP address used during the request).
- Ad interaction events (impressions, clicks, viewability signals).
How it's used: to deliver and measure ads, control frequency, prevent fraud, and (subject to your consent in the EEA, UK, and California) to personalize ads.
Where ads are not shown:
- On Android TV / Fire TV (we disable the in-app ad pipeline entirely on TV form factors).
- For users with an active ScreenIT premium subscription.
- Where required by law and a valid consent has not been given.
Your controls:
- You can reset or remove the advertising ID at any time in your Android system settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Settings → Google → Ads).
- EEA / UK users can change consent choices through the in-app consent prompt.
- California users can submit a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request via the in-app US-states message.
- You can remove ads entirely by purchasing the premium subscription.
Google's handling of ad data is governed by the Google Ads Privacy & Terms and the Google Privacy Policy.
Subscriptions & purchases
ScreenIT offers an optional premium subscription via Google Play Billing. If you subscribe:
- Your payment is processed by Google Play; we do not see or store payment details.
- The Play purchase token, the product ID, and an anonymous per-install identifier are sent to our entitlement service so we can verify the purchase with Google and return your entitlement (active / expired) to the app.
- We do not collect your name, email, or Google account information through this flow.
You can cancel or manage your subscription at any time in the Google Play app (Subscriptions menu).
Data stored on your device
ScreenIT stores a small amount of information locally on the TV/device to make the receiver usable:
Device name you choose (so nearby senders see the receiver name you set).
Recent connections (stored locally): sender identifier (may be a MAC-like device ID when provided by the protocol, otherwise an IP/host string), sender display label, device model/icon hint when provided, connection timestamps, and a connection count.
Trusted devices allow-list (stored locally): sender identifier and the time it was trusted, so you can auto-accept trusted senders without repeated prompts.
This information is stored in local app storage (SQLite) and is not uploaded.
Permissions
ScreenIT requests the following permissions only to operate on your local network:
Internet / network state / Wi-Fi state / multicast: to advertise and accept connections on the local network.
Nearby Wi‑Fi devices (Android 13+) or location (Android 10–12 only): to read and display the currently connected Wi‑Fi SSID. We do not use this for location tracking.
Foreground service / wake lock / notifications: to keep the receiver running and show a persistent "receiver running" notification.
Your choices and controls
You can disable the receiver in Settings.
You can manage trusted devices in Settings.
You can clear recent devices and clear trusted devices in Settings (this deletes the locally stored lists).
Children's privacy
ScreenIT is not designed to collect personal information from children, and it does not transmit user data off-device.
