Privacy

Last updated 5 November 2026 (Australia/Sydney).

RoomCast is built to keep sound on your local Wi-Fi. This page explains what the website and apps do with information, in plain words.

Who this covers

This policy covers roomcast.channel and the RoomCast Mac app. If an iPhone build links here for App Store or subscription screens, the same promises apply to that build’s microphone, local network, optional Wi-Fi name read, local notifications, and purchases handled by Apple.

Audio stays local

• RoomCast captures audio on your device so listeners on the same Wi-Fi can hear it.
• That audio is not uploaded to RoomCast servers and is not stored by us in the cloud.
• Listeners connect over your local network. We do not operate a cloud relay for the live stream.

Permissions the Mac app may use

• Microphone — to capture the sound you choose to share.
• Local network — so phones on the same Wi-Fi can find and join the stream.

The Mac app does not require an account. Settings you choose stay on your Mac.

Permissions an iPhone build may use

• Microphone — to capture sound for a local broadcast or listening assist features.
• Local network — so other devices on the same Wi-Fi can join.
• Location (When In Use) — only if needed so iOS will reveal the current Wi-Fi name for an on-device confirmation prompt. Coordinates are not collected or stored for RoomCast.
• Local notifications — optional alerts on this device (for example if Wi-Fi drops while you are hosting). No RoomCast push server is required for those.

Purchases

If you buy a subscription or unlock inside an Apple app, payment is handled by Apple. RoomCast receives an entitlement signal from Apple (for example that Pro is active). We do not receive your full card number.

Website: download emails and feedback

• If you optionally leave an email for the Mac download, we store it so we can send the link and occasional RoomCast updates. You can unsubscribe from those emails.
• Feedback you send through the site may include a name and email if you choose to leave them. We use that to read your note and, if you left an email, to reply. We do not sell addresses.
• If you tick consent to be quoted, we may show your feedback on the site using your first name only.

Analytics

The website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is designed to measure visits without advertising cookies. It does not identify you for ads.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not use your live audio for advertising or training.
• We do not require a RoomCast account to use the Mac app.
