1. Overview

ECHO TV PLUS ("the App") is an IPTV media player for Apple TV. It is designed with a privacy-first approach: no user accounts, no registration, no cloud storage, and no analytics. This policy explains how data is handled within the App.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

The App does not collect, process, or transmit any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Usage analytics or behavioral data
• Location data
• Crash reports or diagnostics

No analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, or tracking tools of any kind are included in the App.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All user data is stored exclusively on the Apple TV device and is never transmitted to any external server controlled by us. This includes:

• Playlists — M3U/M3U8 URLs you add, along with parsed channel lists
• Favorites — channels you mark as favorites
• Viewing history — playback positions for movies and continue-watching data
• Settings — language preference, custom wallpaper URL, AI chat history
• Local server credentials — SMB server host, username, and password are stored in the device Keychain

If you delete the App, all locally stored data is permanently removed from your device.

4. Network Connections

The App makes the following network requests, all initiated by user action:

• M3U playlist loading — the App fetches playlist files from URLs you provide
• IPTV stream playback — the App connects to stream URLs contained in your playlists
• EPG (TV guide) — the App loads electronic program guide data from URLs specified in your playlists
• SMB file browsing — the App connects to local network servers you configure

The App does not add tracking parameters, inject cookies, or modify these requests in any way beyond what is necessary for playback and metadata display.

5. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party APIs to display movie metadata (posters, titles, descriptions):

• TMDB (The Movie Database) — movie search, posters, and metadata. Subject to TMDB Terms of Use and TMDB Privacy Policy. The App sends only the movie title as a search query. No personal data is transmitted.
• Kinopoisk Unofficial API — fallback metadata source for Russian-language titles. Only movie title search queries are sent.
• Mistral AI API — powers the AI assistant feature. When you use the AI chat, your chat messages are sent to Mistral's servers for processing. No other data is sent. Subject to Mistral AI Terms of Service.

The App is not endorsed or certified by TMDB, Kinopoisk, or Mistral AI. These services have their own privacy policies which we encourage you to review.

6. AI Assistant

The AI assistant processes your text messages to help find channels and answer questions. Messages are sent to the Mistral AI API for processing and are not stored by us. The AI does not have access to any personal information beyond what you type in the chat. Chat history is stored locally on your device and can be cleared at any time.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

8. Data Security

Since no personal data is collected or transmitted to our servers, there is no centralized data store that could be breached. Local data on your device is protected by Apple TV's built-in security. SMB credentials are stored using the system Keychain.

9. Your Rights

Because we do not collect any personal data, there is no data to access, correct, or delete on our end. All data is under your control on your device. To delete all App data, simply uninstall the App from your Apple TV.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
