Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2025

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 NOT Do

  • Does not collect analytics or usage data
  • Does not track user behavior
  • Does not require user accounts or registration
  • Does not transmit data to external servers
  • Does not use advertising or ad tracking
  • Does not access contacts, photos, or other personal files
  • Does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies

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.

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
