AppTV — Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

AppTV is a media player application for televisions and mobile devices. It plays content from services that you configure — the app ships with no content, accounts, or media of its own.

Data we collect

By default, none. AppTV has no user accounts, no advertising SDKs and no third-party analytics. Nothing you do in the app is transmitted to us unless you turn on the optional diagnostics described below.

Optional diagnostics

Playback settings contain a switch, Send diagnostics to the developer, which is off by default. If you turn it on, the app sends anonymous playback-health reports to our server so we can fix freezes and stalls. Each report contains:

• A random identifier generated on your device at install time. It is not tied to your Google account, device serial, advertising ID or any other identifier, and it is deleted when you uninstall the app.
• Device model, Android version and app version.
• Playback events: channel tuned (as an internal numeric id, never a name), buffering, stalls, freezes, errors, memory use, and crash traces.
• A one-way hash of your provider's hostname and username, so reports from boxes that share one subscription can be grouped. The hostname, username and password themselves are never sent.

Reports are stored on our server for troubleshooting only, are not shared with anyone, and are deleted within 90 days. Turning the switch off stops all reporting immediately and discards anything not yet sent.

Data stored on your device

The app stores, locally on your device only:

• The playlist/server credentials you enter, so you don't have to retype them.
• Your preferences: allowed channels, favorites, language filters, PINs, playback settings, watched/resume positions.
• Optional DVR recordings, saved to the storage location you choose (device, USB drive, or a network share you configure).

This data never leaves your device (or your own network storage) and is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data.

Network connections

The app connects only to the media server address you configure (to fetch channel lists, program guides and video streams) and to the logo/artwork URLs referenced by that server. These connections carry the credentials you entered, directly from your device to your provider. We are not a party to them.

Your content provider

AppTV does not supply, endorse, or have any relationship with any content service. You are responsible for ensuring that the services you connect to are lawful in your country. Your provider's own privacy practices apply to the traffic between your device and their servers.

Children

AppTV is a general-audience utility and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children. A PIN feature lets device owners restrict access to settings and adult-flagged categories supplied by their provider.
