Privacy Policy - Beam to PC

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Beam to PC handles information when you use the app. Beam to PC is designed to send short ASCII text from an Android device to a Windows PC using Bluetooth HID keyboard input.

Beam to PC does not require a PC-side app, does not require an internet connection, and does not use cloud synchronization.

No internet permission The app does not request the Android INTERNET permission.

No account The app does not require sign-in or account creation.

No history The app does not save a history of text that you beam.

No clipboard monitoring The app does not continuously monitor your clipboard.

2. Information the App Handles

Beam to PC may temporarily handle the following information on your device:

Text that you type into the app.
Text that you share to the app using Android share features.
Clipboard text that is loaded into the Beam Panel when you tap the Floating Beam button.
The name of the connected PC or Bluetooth device, shown to help you confirm the target device.
App settings such as whether Floating Beam is enabled and the floating button position.

Beam to PC uses text only for the purpose of sending it to your connected PC as Bluetooth keyboard input. The app does not upload this text to any server.

3. Clipboard Handling

If Floating Beam is enabled, tapping the floating button opens a small Beam Panel. The app may read the current clipboard text at that time and place it into the editable text field.

The app does not read the clipboard continuously.
The app does not read the clipboard immediately when you copy text.
The app reads clipboard text only when you intentionally open the Beam Panel by tapping Floating Beam.
You can edit or clear the text before tapping Beam.

4. How Text Is Sent to Your PC

The app cannot detect the current cursor position on your PC.
The app cannot confirm which PC field is focused.
You should select the desired input field on your PC before tapping Beam.
