Information stored on your device
- TV information — IP address, display name, platform type, MAC address (used for Wake‑on‑LAN power‑on), and ports for TVs you connect to.
- Pairing credentials — Pairing certificates, tokens, and client keys for your TVs are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device.
- App preferences — Theme, haptics, sound, onboarding state, last connected TV, and recently launched apps.
- Usage insights — Optional weekly TV‑time insights are computed and stored entirely on your device. They never leave your phone.
Local network access
The app uses your local network to discover TVs (Bonjour and subnet scanning) and to send remote commands. Network traffic is sent directly between your iPhone and your TV on your home network. We do not relay commands through our servers — we don't have any.
Purchases & subscriptions
Beam Premium purchases are processed by Apple. Subscription status is verified using RevenueCat, which receives an anonymous app‑generated identifier and purchase receipts — never your name, email, or payment details. We never see your payment information.
What we do not collect
- No account registration or email collection in the app
- No third‑party analytics or advertising SDKs
- No sale or sharing of personal information for cross‑app tracking
Third-party services
Streaming app names and icons in the Apps tab are used only to help you identify and launch apps on your TV. Your TV may communicate with its manufacturer’s services according to its own policies.
App Store review prompts
The app may ask if you would like to leave an App Store review. This uses Apple’s standard review APIs and optional links to the App Store listing. We do not receive the content of your review.
Children
Beam Remote is not directed at children under 13.
Deleting your data
In the app, open Settings → Forget TV to remove saved device information and pairing credentials. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored app data.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
