Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This policy explains how Clicker – Remote & Cast to TV (“Clicker”, “the app”) handles information. The app is published by Highbrow Marketing Limited (“Sidefolk”, “we”), Unit 4, 56 Priestley Drive, Bucklands Beach, Auckland 2014, New Zealand.

In short: Clicker has no accounts and we don't run servers that collect your data. What you do in the app stays on your phone and your home network. Clicker shows no ads. Optional tips are paid through Google Play, with RevenueCat checking purchases, and a supporter can choose to send us a name for the Supporters wall; both are described below.

Information that stays on your device

• Your TVs and pairing. Clicker looks for TVs on your Wi-Fi network and talks to them directly. The pairing certificate and the list of your TVs are stored only on your phone.
• Browsing in the Cast tab. Web pages load directly from the websites you visit. Your history and bookmarks are stored only on your phone.
• Photos, videos and music. If you allow access, Clicker reads the files you choose so it can play them on your TV. They are sent over your home network to your TV, not to us.
• Screen mirroring. When you start mirroring, your screen is sent over your home network to your TV only.
• Diagnostic log. Clicker keeps a short technical log on your phone (for example, whether a connection to your TV worked) for up to three days. It is sent to us only if you choose to share it from Settings.

Microphone

If you use voice search, Clicker records audio only while voice search is active and sends it to your TV, which handles the search (on Google TV, through Google). We don't receive or store your voice.

Information shared with third parties

Purchases (Google Play and RevenueCat)

If you leave a tip, the payment is handled entirely by Google Play; we never see your card or billing details. To confirm the tip and give you its perks, Clicker uses RevenueCat, which receives a random app user ID, your purchase receipt and basic device information. See the RevenueCat privacy policy.

Supporters wall (only if you choose)

After the largest tip you can ask for a first name or nickname to appear on the Supporters wall. This is entirely your choice, and we rely on your consent to use it. Clicker does not send anything by itself: your own mail app opens with the name and your Google Play order number, and you decide whether to send it to [email protected].

• What we use it for: only to check the tip, review the name against our Terms of Use, and show the approved name. We never publish your email address or order number, and we never use them for marketing.
• What becomes public: an approved name is added to a public list on our website (www.sidefolk.app) that the App downloads to show the wall, so anyone using Clicker can see it. Please don't send your full name or any detail you want to keep private.
• How long we keep it: we delete your email within 90 days of deciding on the name. A name we decline is not kept. An approved name stays on the wall until you ask us to remove it or we end the wall.
• Your choices: you can withdraw your consent at any time. Email [email protected] and we will remove your name from the wall and the list, usually within 7 days.

To show the wall, the App downloads that list from our website, which is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web request, this shares your device's IP address with Cloudflare; we don't use it to identify you.

Casting (Google Cast)

When you cast to a Chromecast or Google TV, Clicker uses Google Cast, which is part of Google Play services on your phone. The address of the video you cast is sent to your TV so it can play it.

Subtitles (OpenSubtitles)

If you search for subtitles, Clicker sends the video's title or file details to OpenSubtitles.com to find matching subtitles. See the OpenSubtitles privacy policy.

Clicker Receiver for TV

Clicker Receiver is the companion app you install on your TV. It plays the videos, photos and music your phone sends it over your home Wi-Fi, fetching them from the address your phone gives it. It has no account, no ads, no analytics and no crash reporting, and sends nothing to us. It keeps only a pairing token on the TV so your phone can reconnect; uninstalling the app deletes it.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your personal information.
• We don't require an account or sign-in.
• We don't use analytics or tracking tools of our own.

Children

Clicker is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices and rights

You can deny or remove the app's permissions (microphone, photos and videos) at any time in your phone's settings; the related features stop working, but the rest of the app keeps working. Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored on your phone. Under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 and other laws that apply to you, you can ask us about any personal information we hold about you; since the app doesn't send us your data, that is normally none, apart from emails you send us.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date above.
