Privacy

Last updated 5 June 2026

Overhead is a local-first worship presenter. Plain English: the app does not collect, transmit, or store your data on any server, and your library — songs, images, videos, setlists — stays on your device and never touches our infrastructure. The one exception is the optional phone remote, which relays a few bits of live screen state through a third-party messaging service only while you're actively using it; it's described below.

What the app collects

Nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no cookies set by Overhead, and no telemetry. The app runs entirely in your browser using your device's local storage.

What the host collects

The Overhead website and app are served by Vercel. As part of normal hosting, Vercel automatically collects:

• Your IP address
• Approximate location derived from that IP address
• System and browser configuration information (user agent, etc.)

This is the same kind of request-log data every web host produces. Overhead does not access these logs for analytics or marketing. For details on how Vercel handles this data, see Vercel's privacy policy.

Embedded video

If you add a Vimeo URL to a setlist, the projector loads Vimeo's player when that slide is shown. Vimeo may set its own cookies and collect viewing data at that point, governed by Vimeo's privacy policy. This only happens when you choose to use a Vimeo video.

Phone remote

Overhead has an optional remote that lets you advance slides, blank the screen, or mirror a confidence view from a phone. When — and only when — you open it, the app pairs your computer and phone through ntfy.sh, a third-party publish/subscribe messaging service. Through ntfy.sh the two devices exchange small control messages: the current and next slide text, blank state, slide position, and a sermon-timer value. No part of your library is uploaded, and nothing is sent when the remote is closed. Each session uses a random, unguessable channel name that anyone holding it can join, so treat the pairing link or QR code like a key — share it only with your operators. Messages routed through ntfy.sh are subject to ntfy.sh's privacy policy; the pairing QR code itself is generated on your own device and is not sent anywhere.

Your rights

If you're in the EU, UK, or California, you have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data processed about you. Because Overhead holds no data of its own, most requests resolve at the host level — contact Vercel directly to request action on hosting logs. For anything else, email the address below and we'll respond within 30 days.

Contact

Questions or requests: privacy@overheadlive.com

If you email us, we'll have your email address and the contents of your message until we delete the thread. We don't add senders to any list, forward messages elsewhere, or use them for anything other than replying. Mail to that address is delivered via ImprovMX to a personal inbox; ImprovMX briefly logs delivery metadata as part of normal forwarding.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the "last updated" date above will change. There is no mailing list to notify because we do not collect email addresses.
