WatchIPTV Privacy Policy
In short: WatchIPTV doesn't collect your personal data. There are no accounts, no servers of ours, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. What you put in the app stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account, where we can't see it.
Who we are
WatchIPTV ("the app", "we", "us") is a video player for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it.
Information we collect
None. We don't run servers for the app, and the app doesn't send us information about you or how you use it. We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking services, and we don't sell or share data.
Information stored on your devices and in your iCloud
To work, the app keeps the following on your device. If you're signed in to iCloud, it also syncs it through your own private iCloud account, so it's the same on your other Apple devices:
- Your provider accounts: the server or playlist address and username you enter. Passwords and playlist links are kept in the device Keychain, and are encrypted when synced through iCloud.
- Your favorites, channel groups, Multiview layouts, recently watched channels and settings.
- How much of the free tier's watch time you've used, so the limit is the same on all your devices.
iCloud data is stored by Apple in your private iCloud account under Apple's Privacy Policy. We have no access to it. Deleting the app removes its data from that device. You can remove its iCloud data in your device's iCloud settings.
Services the app connects to
The app connects directly from your device to:
- Your TV provider: the servers, playlist and guide addresses you enter, to load channels, the TV guide and video. Your provider's own privacy policy applies to what they receive.
- The iptv-org channel and logo index, a public list the app downloads to find logos for your channels. It receives an ordinary web request, which includes your IP address like any website visit. No personal information is sent. Sports team logos are built into the app.
- Image hosts named in your playlist or the logo index, to show channel logos and artwork.
Purchases
Subscriptions and purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your name, Apple ID or payment details. The app only checks Apple's signed record of your purchase on your device to unlock Premium.
Apple Intelligence
Features that use Apple Intelligence, such as asking about the TV guide, run on your device using Apple's on-device models. Nothing is sent to us.
Children
The app isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone, children included.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
