Privacy Policy
App: Live TV: M3U Player (com.m3uplay.livetv.player)
Developer: BUILD DATA SOLUTIONS SAS
Effective date: November 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Live TV: M3U Player (the "App") collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using the App you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. About the App
Live TV: M3U Player is a media player. It plays IPTV / M3U playlists and streams that you add yourself, either by entering a playlist URL or by opening a playlist file on your device. The App does not provide, host, sell or distribute any channels, playlists or media content.
The App does not require an account. You do not sign up, log in, or provide your name or email address to use it.
2. Information stored only on your device
The following data is created by your use of the App and is kept locally on your device (in the App's private storage). It is not uploaded to our servers, and we do not have access to it:
- Playlists you add (names, URLs or file references) and the channel lists parsed from them
- Your favorites and viewing history
- App settings and preferences (for example language)
Removing this data is under your control: delete playlists or history inside the App, clear the App's storage in Android Settings, or uninstall the App. The App does not use cloud backup (Android backup is disabled for the App).
When you play a playlist or stream, the App connects directly from your device to the playlist URL or stream server that you specified. Those servers are operated by third parties, and they may receive your IP address and standard request information, as with any media player or web browser. We do not control those servers and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
3. Information collected by third-party SDKs
The App is free and supported by advertising. To provide advertising, measure performance, diagnose crashes and understand how the App is used, the App includes the third-party services listed below. These services may collect information automatically through the App. We do not receive your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, files, or precise location through any of them.
| Service | Provider | What it is used for | Information that may be collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase Analytics | Usage analytics | App interactions and events, app version, device model and OS version, language, approximate region derived from IP address, app-instance identifier, advertising ID (where permitted) | |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash and error reporting | Crash logs and stack traces, device model, OS version, app state at the time of the crash, installation identifier | |
| Firebase Remote Config | Delivering configuration values to the App (for example ad settings) | App-instance identifier, app version, device and OS information, language | |
| Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK | Showing advertising | Advertising ID, IP address, device and OS information, ad interactions (impressions, clicks), app information | |
| Ad mediation (including AppLovin) | AppLovin and other ad networks reached through our mediation layer | Selecting and serving ads from multiple ad networks | Advertising ID, IP address, device and OS information, ad interactions, approximate location derived from IP address |
| Adjust | Adjust GmbH | Attribution and measurement of ad campaigns | Advertising ID, IP address, install and app-open events, install referrer information, device and OS information |
| Facebook SDK (Meta) | Meta Platforms, Inc. | Ad attribution and measurement, ad delivery | Advertising ID, device and OS information, install and app-activity events |
| TikTok Business SDK | TikTok | Ad attribution and measurement | Advertising ID, IP address, device and OS information, install and app-activity events |
These providers process the information under their own privacy policies:
- Google (Firebase, AdMob): https://policies.google.com/privacy
- AppLovin: https://www.applovin.com/privacy/
- Adjust: https://www.adjust.com/terms/privacy-policy/
- Meta: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/privacy-policy/en
4. Advertising ID and ad-related permissions
The App declares the following advertising-related permissions: com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID (access to the Android advertising ID), ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID and ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION (access to the Android Privacy Sandbox ad-services APIs for ad ID and attribution). The advertising ID is a resettable identifier that advertising and attribution partners use to deliver ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure ad performance.
You can control the advertising ID at any time in your Android settings (typically Settings > Privacy > Ads): reset it, delete it, or opt out of ads personalization. When the advertising ID is deleted or you opt out, partners can no longer use it to personalize ads, although you may still see non-personalized ads.
5. Permissions
| Permission | Why the App uses it |
|---|---|
| INTERNET | To load playlists from URLs, play streams, and communicate with the services listed above |
| ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE | To detect whether a network connection is available and adapt playback and ad loading |
| AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION | Advertising and attribution, as described in Section 4 |
| POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+) | To show notifications, only if you allow it when prompted. You can change this at any time in system settings |
| BILLING | Declared by an included library. The App does not currently offer in-app purchases or subscriptions |
The App does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, SMS, call log, or photos and media library.
6. Cleartext (HTTP) traffic
Many IPTV and playlist servers only offer unencrypted HTTP. So that you can play such streams, the App allows cleartext (HTTP) connections to the addresses you provide. Data sent over HTTP is not encrypted in transit and could be observed by others on the network. Prefer HTTPS playlists and streams when they are available.
7. How we use information
Information collected through the services above is used to:
- show and measure advertising, and keep the App free;
- measure how the App is used and improve it;
- detect, diagnose and fix crashes and errors;
- deliver configuration settings to the App;
- measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns that lead to installs.
We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money. Advertising and attribution partners receive identifiers such as the advertising ID as described above, which under some laws may be treated as "sharing" or "selling" for advertising purposes; see Section 9 for your choices.
8. Data retention
Data stored on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the App. Data collected by third-party SDKs is retained by those providers according to their own policies and retention settings (for example, Firebase Analytics event data is retained for a limited period configured in the developer's Firebase project).
9. Your rights and choices
- Advertising ID: reset or delete it, or opt out of ads personalization, in Android settings (Section 4).
- Notifications: accept or decline the notification prompt, or change it in system settings.
- Local data: delete playlists, favorites and history in the App, or clear the App's storage / uninstall the App.
- Access, deletion and other rights: depending on where you live (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Because the App does not require an account and we do not collect data that directly identifies you, we generally cannot link data held by SDK providers to you. You can exercise your rights by contacting the relevant provider, or by contacting us at the email address below and we will help where we can.
- EEA / UK / Switzerland users: where required, ads personalization and the use of identifiers for advertising are subject to your consent, which you can give or withdraw through the consent message shown by the App (where applicable) or through your device settings.
10. Children's privacy
The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or under the minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will work to address the issue. Because content is chosen by the user, parents and guardians should supervise the playlists a child plays.
11. Security
Local data is stored in the App's private storage on your device. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. See Section 6 regarding unencrypted HTTP streams.
12. International transfers
Third-party providers listed above may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Their processing is governed by their own policies and safeguards.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the "Effective date" above will be updated. Please review this page periodically.
