Privacy Policy

AX: TV Remote · Effective date: July 22, 2026

AX: TV Remote ("the app") is a remote-control app for Android TV and Google TV devices. This policy explains what information the app handles, what little of it reaches us, and the choices you have. The short version: the app has no accounts or sign-in, and almost everything stays on your device or your home network.

1. Information stored only on your device

• TV connections — the names, addresses, and pairing certificates of TVs you connect to are stored locally so the app can reconnect. They are never sent to us.
• Settings and favorites — app preferences, IPTV favorites, and similar choices are stored locally.

2. Device Code

The app derives a short code (format XXXX-XXXX) from your device's Android ID. It contains no personal information and cannot be used to identify you. It is sent to our server only to remember premium status and to tag feedback you choose to send, so we can tell submissions apart.

3. Information you choose to send us

• Feedback — if you use the in-app feedback form, we receive your message and category along with the app version, device model, Android version, and Device Code. Nothing is sent unless you submit the form.
• Review screenshots — if you take part in the optional review-reward offer, the screenshot you upload is stored on our server together with your Device Code so we can grant the reward.
• Playlist addresses — if you add your own IPTV playlist, the playlist's web address (URL) may be reported to our server for content review. The playlist's contents are not uploaded, and the address is never shared or served to other users.

4. Server logs

Like nearly every web server, ours keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, and the file requested) when the app fetches the curated channel list or talks to our feedback and premium endpoints. Logs are used only to operate and secure the service and are deleted on a rolling basis.

5. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob is operated by Google and may collect device information such as your advertising ID to show and measure ads, in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy and Google's advertising policies. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization in your device's Google settings. Premium removes ads.

6. Analytics & crash reporting (Google Firebase)

To understand which features are used and to find and fix crashes, the app uses Google Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring. These collect anonymous usage events (for example which remote buttons are pressed, whether a TV connection succeeded, and which screens are opened), general device information (model, operating system version, country) and crash reports. This data is aggregated, is not used to identify you personally, and is processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

7. Purchases (Google Play Billing)

Premium upgrades are processed entirely by Google Play. We never see or store your name, card number, or any other payment details — we only learn that a purchase succeeded so the upgrade can be unlocked.

8. Microphone

The microphone is used only for voice search, only while you hold the mic button. Audio is streamed directly to your TV over your local network, exactly as a physical remote's mic would be. Voice audio is never recorded, stored, or sent to our servers.

9. Photos, videos & music

If you cast personal media, the app serves the files you pick directly from your phone to your TV over your local Wi-Fi network. Your media files are never uploaded to us or to any third party.

10. Data retention & deletion

Feedback, review screenshots, and premium records are kept only as long as needed to run the service. To have your data deleted, email us your Device Code (shown in the app's Settings) and we will remove all server records associated with it. Everything else can be erased at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.

11. Children

The app is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Security

Communication with our server uses HTTPS. Communication with your TV stays on your local network and uses the pairing security built into Android TV.

12. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
