BEAM · IPHONE AND IPAD

Privacy policy

Beam shows the photos and videos you choose on a TV on your own Wi-Fi network. It has no accounts, no advertising and no analytics. The developer does not collect, receive or store your photos, your library or any other personal data.

What the app accesses

Photos. With your permission, Beam reads your photo library to list it and to show the items you pick. You can allow all photos or only a selection, and change that at any time in the Settings app. Beam never changes or deletes anything in your library.

Local network. With your permission, Beam looks for TVs on the Wi-Fi network your device is connected to and talks to the TV you choose.

Where your photos go

When you show a photo or play a video, the TV you chose downloads it directly from your iPhone or iPad over your local network. Nothing is sent over the internet and nothing passes through a server of ours or anyone else’s.

Location and other metadata are removed from photos before they are sent. Videos are sent as recorded, so information stored inside the video file, such as the recording date or place, goes to the TV with it. What the TV does with what it shows is up to the TV and its maker.

If an item is stored in iCloud, iOS downloads it from Apple to your device first. That download is part of your iCloud Photos service, not of Beam.

What stays on your device

Copies prepared for the TV are kept in the app’s cache and removed automatically as it fills up; iOS may clear it sooner. Beam remembers the TVs it has found (name, model and address on your network), the TV you chose and your slideshow settings. Deleting the app removes all of it.

Diagnostics

Beam sends no diagnostics of its own. If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in the Settings app, or you use a TestFlight version, Apple may give us crash reports and the feedback you submit. They do not contain your photos.
