The short version: AV Mirror collects nothing and sends nothing to the internet. It has no analytics, no accounts and no servers of ours to talk to.
AV Mirror does use your local network, but only in one way and only when you ask it to. When you press Let my phone connect, the AV Mirror app on your own phone can reach your PC to control its speakers. That traffic stays on your home network, and a phone can only connect if you give it the pairing code shown on the PC.
AV Mirror takes the sound your PC is already playing and sends it to more than one speaker. It reads the audio using the standard Windows audio interfaces and writes it back out to the speakers you have chosen.
That audio is held in memory only, for the fraction of a second it takes to pass it along, and then discarded. It is never written to disk, never sent over any network, and never shown to anyone. The app cannot record.
If you turn on Play sound from my phone, your phone sends its sound to your PC over Bluetooth, the same way it would to any Bluetooth speaker. Windows receives it, and AV Mirror plays it through your speakers as above. It is not stored and not sent anywhere else.
This part is not in the Store version yet. When the AV Mirror phone app shows your phone's screen on your PC:
Anything visible on your phone's screen while mirroring, such as messages, notifications or passwords you type, is shown on your PC. Stop mirroring before doing anything private.
AV Mirror only accepts connections while you have pressed Let my phone connect, and only on networks Windows classes as private. On public networks such as a cafe or airport, Windows does not let other devices reach it at all.
Every connection must present the six-digit pairing code shown on your PC. Wrong codes are refused and slowed down, so the code cannot practically be guessed. Pressing New on the PC disconnects every phone that knew the old code.
Files on your own machine, none of them ever transmitted:
On your phone, the app stores only the PC's address and the pairing code you typed in. Uninstalling the apps removes all of this.
No analytics. No telemetry. No crash reporting to us. No advertising identifiers. No account, no sign-in, and no personal information of any kind. Neither app makes connections to the internet.
On your PC, AV Mirror uses your audio devices, Bluetooth (only for sound from your phone), and your local network (only while connected to your phone, as above). It uses no camera, no microphone, no location, no contacts, and no files outside its own settings.
On your phone, the app uses screen capture (only after you approve it each time), your local network (to reach your PC), notifications (Android requires one while the screen is being captured), and the microphone (only for calibration, where it listens for test tones and does not store them).
AV Mirror is a general-purpose utility, collects nothing, and is suitable for all ages. Anything on a phone's screen while mirroring appears on the PC, so the usual care applies.
