Privacy Policy

We built Electron IPTV with a simple rule: your data is yours. Here is exactly what we do — and don't do.

Last updated: August 2026

In short

No account, no personal data
No name, email, phone number or location — ever. No sign-up of any kind.
Your library stays on your device
Playlists, credentials, favourites and history are stored locally. We run no server holding them.
Nothing about you is sold or shared
We sell no data. Nothing identifying you is sent anywhere — see the usage data section.
Downloads and backups stay yours
Offline files live in the app's private storage; backups are encrypted with a password only you hold.
Anonymous usage data, switchable off
Aggregate usage and crash reports help fix bugs. One switch in Settings turns it off.
Delete everything at any time
Clear the app's storage in your Android settings and it is all gone.
No content hosted or provided
Electron IPTV is a media player. You bring your own playlists.

Introduction

Welcome to Electron IPTV. We are committed to protecting your privacy and to being fully transparent about how the app works.

Electron IPTV is a media player application. It lets you organise and watch content from playlists that you provide yourself. We do not host, provide, distribute or supply any media content whatsoever.

Electron IPTV does not collect, sell or share your personal data with third parties. Your playlists, credentials, favourites and watch history stay on your device. The app does send anonymous usage and crash data, which you can switch off in Settings — that is covered in full below.

This policy explains what is stored locally on your device, why it is stored, and how you remain in complete control of it.

Information We Collect

To be blunt: Electron IPTV does not collect personal data. We never ask for, store or transmit:

  • Your name, email address or any account credentials for us
  • Payment or billing information
  • Your phone number or contact details
  • Location data
  • Your playlists, provider credentials, favourites or watch history
  • The names of the channels, movies or series you watch

The following is stored locally on your device only, to make the app’s features work:

  • Playlist data you add yourself — Xtream Codes credentials, M3U URLs or local files
  • App preferences such as your chosen theme, language, category display style and player settings
  • Watch history, so the app can show what you have recently watched
  • Favourites, so you can quickly reach channels, movies or series you saved
  • Playback progress, so you can resume where you left off
  • Your chosen subtitle and audio language, so they persist between episodes
  • Downloaded media files, if you use offline downloads
  • Your parental control PIN and the list of categories you locked or hid, if you use parental controls

All of this lives exclusively on your device. It is never uploaded, synced or transmitted to any server operated by us.

Usage and Crash Data

So that we can tell which parts of the app work and which break, Electron IPTV sends anonymous usage and crash data through Google Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics). This is the one category of data that leaves your device, and it is switchable off.

What is sent:

  • Feature events — that a playlist was configured, that playback started or failed, that the guide was opened, that the trial started or the paywall was shown. Events carry only generic labels, such as the type of playlist or content.
  • Diagnostics on failure — the technical reason playback failed, such as an error code or a codec name, so a broken stream can be understood without asking you for logs.
  • Crash reports — the stack trace, the device model and the app version when the app crashes.
  • A pseudonymous app instance identifier, generated by Firebase, which lets two events be recognised as coming from the same installation. It is not linked to you, and it is reset when you clear the app’s data or reinstall.

What is never sent:

  • Your playlists, provider URLs or credentials
  • The names of the channels, movies or series you watch, or your history and favourites
  • Your parental control PIN, your backup password or your backup files
  • Your name, email address, phone number or location

Turning it off: open Settings → Share usage data and switch it off. Collection stops for both usage and crash reporting, and using the app is unaffected.

How Data Is Used

The information stored locally is used only to make the app work for you:

  • App preferences — so your experience stays consistent every time you open the app.
  • Watch history — so you can see what you recently viewed without searching again.
  • Favourites — so you get instant access to the channels, movies and series you care about.
  • Playback progress — so you can resume from exactly where you paused.
  • Playlist data — to build your channel, movie and series library, and to authenticate against your own provider.
  • Downloaded files — to play movies and episodes while you are offline.
  • Parental control settings — to decide which categories require a PIN or stay hidden.

We do not use any of this for advertising, analytics, profiling or any purpose beyond making the app work.

Offline Downloads

When you download a movie or an episode:

  • The media file is fetched directly from your own provider to your device. It does not pass through any server of ours.
  • Files are written to the app’s private storage area, which other apps on your device cannot read.
  • We receive no record of what you downloaded, when, or how much storage it used. Download statistics shown in the app are computed on your device and stay there.
  • Deleting a download, or clearing the app’s data, removes the file from your device.

Parental Controls

When you enable parental controls:

  • Your PIN is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.
  • The PIN is not stored in plain text; verification happens on your device.
  • The list of categories you lock or hide is a local preference, like any other setting.
  • We cannot recover your PIN for you. If you forget it, clearing the app’s data resets parental settings along with everything else.

Backup and Restore

The backup file belongs to you:

  • A backup is a file you create, saved to a location you choose on your device or in your own cloud storage.
  • The file is encrypted with a password that you set. The encryption key is derived from that password on your device.
  • We never receive, store or have any means of reading your backup. We cannot recover it if you lose the password.
  • A backup may contain your playlists and provider credentials, your favourites, your history and your parental control settings. Treat the file, and its password, with the same care as the credentials themselves.

Purchases and Subscription Status

The app is used through a free trial and then a subscription. All purchases are processed by Google Play Billing.

  • We never see, receive or store your card number, billing address or any payment details.
  • Subscription status is managed through RevenueCat, our billing provider, which the app asks whether this installation is entitled. RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous identifier for the installation and the purchase information Google Play reports — never your name, your email address or your payment details.
  • Your entitlement is also cached on your device, so the app keeps working when the network does not.
  • Whether your trial has started, and when it ends, is stored only on your device. The installation date comes from Google Play rather than from our own storage, so that a single trial cannot be reset by clearing the app’s data.
  • Pricing is set per country by Google Play, so the amount shown depends on your region and currency.
  • Refunds and cancellations are handled through Google Play, under Google’s terms.

Third-Party Services

Electron IPTV may interact with the following external services:

  • Google Play Services — used for app distribution, billing and standard Android platform functions. Google’s own privacy policy applies to their services.
  • Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics — used for the anonymous usage and crash data described above, which you can switch off in Settings.
  • Firebase Remote Config — used to read a small number of configuration values, such as feature switches. It sends no data about you.
  • RevenueCat — used to check and restore your subscription entitlement, as described above.
  • Google Cast — used only when you choose to cast to a Chromecast device. Casting is initiated by you and sends the stream to the device you selected.

When you use the app you supply your own playlist URLs, which point at external content sources. Those sources are entirely outside our control. Your provider may log your requests, your IP address, or your viewing activity according to their own policies, not ours. Review your provider’s terms if this matters to you.

Data Storage

All application data is stored in the app’s local storage on your Android device. There is no Electron IPTV account, no cloud sync and no server-side copy — because there is no server.

You are in full control:

  • Delete individual playlists, favourites or history entries from inside the app.
  • Delete downloaded files from the downloads screen.
  • Clear the app’s storage in Android’s system settings to remove absolutely everything.
  • Uninstall the app to remove all of it at once.

Your Responsibility as a User

Electron IPTV is a player. What you play through it is your responsibility.

  • You must have the legal right to access any content in the playlists you add.
  • You are responsible for the provider you subscribe to and for their handling of your data.
  • You are responsible for keeping your provider credentials, your PIN and your backup password secure.

Security

Your playlists, credentials, favourites and history never leave your device through us, which removes an entire class of risk: there is no server of ours holding them, and no database of users to leak. The only data that leaves is the anonymous usage and crash reporting described above.

On the device, we rely on Android’s application sandbox to keep the app’s storage private to the app. Backups you create are encrypted with your own password. Provider credentials are stored locally for the sole purpose of connecting to that provider.

No system is perfect. If you find a security issue, please report it to us at the address below.

Children’s Privacy

Electron IPTV is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any data from anyone — including children — because we do not collect personal data at all.

Because the app plays whatever playlist you provide, the content available through it is entirely determined by your provider and is not curated or rated by us. If children use your device, we strongly recommend enabling the parental controls to lock or hide categories behind a PIN.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves — for example when a feature changes what is stored on your device. The “last updated” date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. Material changes will be reflected in the app’s release notes.
