+TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring - Data Deletion Instructions
You can request the deletion of your account and associated data for the +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring app. Please follow the instructions below.
Fastest way: delete your account yourself in the app. Open your profile and tap Deactivate Account; you will be asked to confirm your identity. Your profile, family membership and the TVs saved in the app are deleted. An active Google Play subscription is not cancelled by this, so cancel it in Google Play as well. If you no longer have the app, use the email request below.
1. Requesting Data Deletion via Email
To request the deletion of your data, please send an email to support@garage.ist with the subject line: "Data Deletion Request - +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring".
In your email, please include the following information to help us identify your account and process your request efficiently:
- The email address you used to sign up or log in to +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring (whether via Google, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or direct email registration).
- Any other relevant account identifiers if you recall them.
- If you only wish to delete specific data (e.g., only your feedback reports) while keeping your account active, please clearly state this in your email. Otherwise, we will proceed with the deletion of your entire account and associated data on our servers.
What Data Will Be Deleted from Our Servers?
Upon your verified data deletion request, the following data associated with your +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring account, which is stored on our servers (Firebase), will be permanently deleted:
-
Your Firebase Authentication Account: This includes:
- The email address you used to sign up or log in (whether via Google, X (formerly Twitter), or direct email registration).
- Your unique Firebase User ID (UID).
- Any display name or profile photo URL provided by Google or X (Twitter) during sign-in, if applicable and stored by Firebase Authentication.
- Feedback Reports: Any feedback reports you have submitted through the app that are associated with your Firebase User ID.
- Your Profile Picture: If you have uploaded a profile picture to your +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring account, it will be deleted from our servers (e.g., Firebase Storage).
Important Note on Locally Stored Data (TV Information)
Information about the TVs you have paired with the +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring app (such as TV names or identifiers you may have assigned within the app) is stored exclusively on your local device. This data is not uploaded to or stored on our servers as part of your account.
Deleting your account in the app (Deactivate Account) also removes the TVs saved on that device. A deletion requested by email removes your account credentials and feedback from our servers, but it can not reach the TV pairing information stored locally on your device.
To remove this locally stored TV information, you will need to:
- Clear the app's data and cache from your device's system settings, OR
- Uninstall the +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring app from your device.
What Data May Be Retained?
No personal data identifiable to you will be retained after your account deletion request is processed and confirmed.
2. Removing App Permissions from Third-Party Accounts
If you signed in using Google, Facebook, or X (formerly Twitter), you can also remove +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring's access permissions directly from your respective account settings. This will prevent the app from accessing your data from these platforms in the future.
Important Note: Removing app permissions from Google, Facebook, or Twitter does not automatically delete the data +TV: Remote, Cast & Mirroring has already collected and stored on its servers.
