Privacy Policy

Introduction

Free IPTV ("the App") is a media player application for Samsung Smart TVs and Android TV. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information and complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Collection

The App is designed to minimize data collection. The only data transmitted to servers we operate is related to the trial / registration system:

• Device identifier: a randomly-generated ID unique to your installation. It does not contain any account, name, email, or hardware serial number.
• Install date: the date the App was first launched, used to compute the trial period.
• Registration code (if any): the code you entered to unlock the App.
• IP address: automatically logged when your device contacts the registration server, used for fraud prevention and approximate geolocation.
• Approximate location and ISP: derived from the IP address (city / region / country / Internet provider) using the third-party service ip-api.com. No GPS or precise location data is collected.
• Last seen timestamp: the date of the last contact with the registration server.

Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6): legitimate interest in preventing registration fraud and operating the trial system. No advertising, no profiling, no resale of data to any third party.

Retention: unregistered devices that have not contacted the server for 12 months are automatically deleted. Registered devices are retained for the duration of the registration.

Your rights (GDPR Art. 15-22): you can request access, correction or deletion of your data, or object to its processing, by emailing eric.blanquer@gmail.com with your device ID. Deletion requests are honored within 30 days.

Data Stored Locally

The App stores the following data locally on your TV:

• Playlist configurations: Server URLs, usernames, and passwords you enter to access your IPTV services
• Watch history: Tracks which content you have watched for the "Continue Watching" feature
• Playback progress: Remembers where you left off in videos
• Favorites: Content you mark as favorite
• Settings: Your language preference, subtitle settings, and other app preferences

All this data is stored locally using the TV's localStorage and is never transmitted to us.

Third-Party Services

The App may connect to the following third-party services based on your configuration:

• Your IPTV provider: The App connects to playlist servers you configure. We have no control over these services.
• TMDB (The Movie Database): If you provide a TMDB API key, the App fetches movie/TV show metadata.
• OpenSubtitles / SubDL: If configured, the App fetches subtitles from these services.

Please review the privacy policies of these third-party services.

Security Notice

When connecting to IPTV server providers, your credentials (username and password) are transmitted as part of the stream URLs. This is a standard requirement of these protocols and cannot be avoided. These URLs may be visible in server logs or network traffic.

Remote Configuration Feature

The App offers an optional remote configuration feature using Cloudflare Workers:

• Configuration data is temporarily stored (5 minutes maximum) to facilitate transfer from a web browser to your TV
• Data is automatically deleted after retrieval or expiration
• No logs are kept

Content Disclaimer

This App does not provide any content. Users are solely responsible for the legality of the content sources they configure. The developer assumes no responsibility for how users utilize this application.

Children's Privacy

This App does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
