Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how iDroidLab (“we”, “us”, or the “Service Provider”) collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the iDroidLabTV application (the “Application”) on phones, tablets, Android TV, and other supported devices. The Application is provided as a free service, “AS IS”.
iDroidLabTV is a local-first IPTV player. You add your own Xtream Codes or M3U playlist accounts. We do not operate, host, or sell TV channels, movies, or series. Playback uses streams that you or your IPTV provider supply.
Information stored on your device
Most Application data stays on the device. This can include:
- IPTV account names, server URLs, usernames, passwords, and playlist URLs you enter
- Profiles, avatars, optional PINs, kids-profile settings, and playback preferences
- Catalog data synced from your IPTV provider (live channels, movies, series, EPG)
- Watch history, continue watching, favorites, My List, and search history
- Player settings, subtitle preferences, and an optional OpenSubtitles login saved on the device
PINs are stored in a hashed form on the device. We cannot recover a forgotten PIN from our servers because that PIN is not sent to us.
Information collected automatically
When you download, install, or use the Application, we and our service providers may collect:
- IP address, device type, operating system, app version, language, and time zone
- Crash logs, performance metrics, and diagnostic events
- Approximate usage data such as screens opened, session length, and feature usage
- Advertising identifiers and similar device identifiers used to show and measure ads
The Application does not collect precise GPS location. We do not use the Application to process your data with generative AI models.
Advertising
The Application is free and is designed to show advertisements, including now and in future releases. Ads may be banner, interstitial, rewarded, native, or similar formats supplied by Google AdMob and other advertising partners.
Advertising partners may collect device identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, app events, and interaction with ads. Ads may be contextual or personalized based on your advertising identifier and activity, subject to your device settings and applicable law. You can limit ad personalization in your device advertising or privacy settings. Uninstalling the Application stops further collection through the app.
We may also use ads to promote iDroidLabTV itself. Adding or changing ad networks later will still be covered by this policy as long as those partners process data only to deliver, measure, and improve advertising in the Application.
Third-party services
The Application uses third-party services that have their own privacy policies:
- Google AdMob
- Google Analytics for Firebase
- Firebase Crashlytics
- TMDB for posters, plots, cast, trailers, and similar titles
- OMDb for additional plot, poster, and rating metadata
- OpenSubtitles if you search or download extra subtitle files
- YouTube / Google when you play trailers
When you play a live channel, movie, or series, your device connects directly to the stream URL from your IPTV provider or M3U playlist. That provider can see your IP address and viewing requests. We are not responsible for a third-party IPTV provider’s privacy practices.
Metadata requests (for example title lookups) send search text such as a title and year to TMDB or OMDb. Subtitle searches send title or file information to OpenSubtitles. Trailer playback uses YouTube.
How we use information
- Provide playback, profiles, sync, search, subtitles, and in-app settings
- Enrich your library with artwork, ratings, cast, similar titles, and trailers
- Show, measure, and improve advertisements, including future ad formats
- Diagnose crashes, prevent abuse, and improve reliability
- Contact you with support replies, required notices, or product updates if you email us
Legal bases and sharing
Where required, we process data to provide the service you request, to pursue legitimate interests such as app security and advertising, and to comply with law. We may disclose information:
- to advertising, analytics, crash, and metadata partners listed above
- to service providers who process data only on our instructions
- when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, or investigate fraud
- in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, with notice where required
We do not sell your IPTV passwords. Credentials you enter are stored on the device for connecting to your provider.
Retention and your choices
Device data remains until you delete a profile, an IPTV account, watch history, or uninstall the Application. Server-side analytics, crash, and advertising records are kept by those providers according to their policies, typically for a limited period needed to operate their services.
You can stop collection by uninstalling the Application. To request deletion of information you sent us by email, contact support@idroidlab.com. We will respond in a reasonable time.
Children
The Application is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Kids profiles are a local filter on this device (for example hiding 18+ / R / TV-MA titles). They are not child accounts we host, and they do not make the Application suitable for unsupervised use by young children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact support@idroidlab.com and we will delete it from our systems.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information we process. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for the security of your device, IPTV credentials, and profile PINs.
International processing
Our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Those countries may have different data-protection laws from your own.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including when we add advertising or other features. We will post the updated policy on this page. Continued use of the Application after a change means you accept the updated policy.
Your consent
By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you consent to this Privacy Policy.
