Privacy Policy

IPatyj does not require an account. The current version does not include advertising, developer-operated analytics or a developer-operated cloud service for storing user data.

The app may store locally on your device the playlists and channel metadata you import; playlist and programme-guide source addresses; favourites and recently watched channels; interface language and app settings; parental-control settings and PIN; programme-guide data; and channel-logo references.

This locally stored information is not sent to an IPatyj-operated server.

You may import an M3U or M3U8 playlist from a file, URL or pasted text. A selected local file is read only after you choose it through the Android file picker. The app does not request broad access to all files on your device.

When you open a playlist URL, play a stream, download programme-guide information or load a channel logo, the app connects directly to the address supplied by you, your playlist, the configured XMLTV source or a public channel-metadata catalogue. Those external servers may receive ordinary network information such as your IP address and request details. Their data practices are controlled by their respective operators, not by IPatyj.

Playlist addresses can contain private access credentials. They are stored locally on your device. Do not share screenshots or exported data containing those addresses. Some sources use unencrypted HTTP rather than HTTPS, so transport security depends on the source you select.

Voice search is optional. The app requests microphone permission only when you start voice search.

IPatyj uses Android’s speech-recognition service. Depending on your device and its speech-service settings, microphone audio may be processed on the device or transmitted to the speech-recognition provider for temporary processing. IPatyj receives the recognized text and uses it to search for a channel. IPatyj does not record, retain, sell or send microphone audio to an IPatyj-operated server.

You can deny or revoke microphone permission in Android settings and continue using text search and the rest of the app.

IPatyj does not sell personal data. IPatyj does not provide imported playlists, viewing history, favourites, parental-control settings or voice recordings to advertisers or data brokers.

Network requests initiated to play user-selected content or retrieve programme information are sent directly to the relevant third-party source as described above.

Local information remains on the device until it is cleared in the app, the app’s storage is cleared in Android settings or the app is uninstalled. The app provides controls to clear the current playlist, favourites and recently watched channels.

IPatyj does not maintain a user account or an IPatyj-operated server database from which personal data must be deleted. Android system backup behaviour may depend on the device and operating-system settings.

IPatyj is a general-purpose media player and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app does not control the content of user-provided playlists. Adults responsible for a device should use the parental-control features and ensure that imported sources are appropriate and lawful.

This policy may be updated when the app’s features or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised when an update is published.
