Overview
PrintCast is a macOS application that enables AirPrint functionality for non-AirPrint printers. This privacy policy explains how PrintCast handles your data.
Data Collection
PrintCast does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

What PrintCast Does
PrintCast only performs the following local operations:
1. Printer Discovery
Queries your Mac's CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) to enumerate locally configured printers. This information never leaves your device.
2. Local Network Communication
Broadcasts printer information via Bonjour/mDNS on your local network so iOS devices can discover them. This communication is limited to your local network.
3. Preferences Storage
Stores your preferences (which printers to advertise, custom names) locally on your Mac using standard macOS UserDefaults. This data is not synced or transmitted.
4. Print Job Routing
When an iOS device prints to an advertised printer, the print job is routed through your Mac to the printer. Print job contents are not stored or logged.
Network Access
PrintCast requires local network access to:
- Discover printers via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
- Broadcast printer availability via Bonjour/mDNS
- Route print jobs from iOS devices to printers
All network communication occurs exclusively on your local network. No data is sent to the internet.
Third-Party Services
PrintCast does not integrate with any third-party services, SDKs, or analytics platforms.
Data Security
Since PrintCast does not collect or transmit personal data, there is no personal data at risk. All printer preferences are stored locally using macOS's secure storage mechanisms.
Children's Privacy
PrintCast does not collect any information from any users, including children under 13.
