Privacy Policy

ScreenHive is designed to keep your screen, audio, files and clipboard on your own network. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information.

1. We do not collect your data

ScreenHive has no user accounts, no analytics SDKs, no advertising and no developer-operated servers. We do not collect, store or sell personal information, screen content, audio, files, clipboard contents or usage statistics.

2. Screen and audio data

When you start sharing, ScreenHive captures the screen and system audio you have chosen and sends them directly to the client Mac you are connected to. The data is encrypted in transit with TLS. It is not routed through, stored on, or accessible to any server operated by us.

3. Files and clipboard

File transfers and clipboard sync happen only during an authenticated session between your own Macs. Files are written to the destination folder you choose or the app’s default folder. Clipboard text is transmitted only within the active session and is not retained by the app after the session ends.

4. Local network discovery

ScreenHive uses Bonjour and local network connections to find Macs on the same network. Host names, device names and IP addresses are used to establish and maintain connections. They are not sent to us or to third parties.

5. Permissions

The app may ask for the following macOS permissions:

• Screen Recording — to capture the screen you choose to share.
• Accessibility — to send mouse and keyboard input to the host Mac you control.
• Local Network — to discover and connect to Macs on your LAN.
• System Audio — to capture and stream the audio you choose to share.

You can review or revoke these permissions at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

6. Diagnostics and logs

ScreenHive may write diagnostic logs and file-transfer audit logs locally on your Mac (for example, under ~/Library/Logs/ScreenHive or the app’s sandbox container). These files are used for troubleshooting and are not uploaded automatically. You can delete them at any time.

7. App Store

If you download ScreenHive from the Mac App Store, Apple may process purchase, download and crash information under Apple’s own privacy policy. We do not receive your Apple Account information from Apple.

8. Children

ScreenHive is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above. Material changes will be reflected before they take effect.
