Privacy Policy for IPTV All Languages

Effective Date: April 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to IPTV All Languages! This Privacy Policy describes how World TV Stream ("WTS", "we", "us", or "our"), the provider of the IPTV All Languages mobile application ("App"), collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our App. Our website is worldtvstream.com and you can contact us at hello@worldtvstream.com.

This App allows users to stream publicly available IPTV channels and optionally upload their own M3U playlist files. The App is free to use and supported by advertisements.

By using the IPTV All Languages App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our service, and to display advertisements. The types of information we collect depend on how you use the App:

• Non-Personal Information (Collected Automatically):

  • Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access the App, such as the hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers (like Android Advertising ID), mobile network information, and screen resolution.

  • Usage Information: We collect information about your interactions with the App, such as the features you use, channels you access (but not specific viewing history tied to you unless registered and using favorites), frequency of use, crash reports, and performance data. This helps us understand how the App is used and identify areas for improvement.

  • Approximate Location: We may infer your general geographic location (e.g., country or city) based on your IP address to provide relevant content or ads, but we do not collect precise GPS location data.

• 
  

• Personal Information (Collected Only If You Choose to Register):

  • Registration is optional. You can use the core streaming features without registering.

  • If you choose to register an account (e.g., to save favorite channels or uploaded M3U playlists across devices), we may collect:

    • Email Address: Used for account creation, login, password recovery, and potentially important service communications (not marketing unless you opt-in).

    • Username/Password (or other authentication method): Used to secure your account.

  • 
    
• 
  

• User-Provided Content (M3U Playlists):

  • If you register and choose to upload an M3U playlist file, that file will be associated with your account and stored on our servers so you can access it across devices.

  • If you do not register and upload an M3U playlist, the information may be stored locally within the App's cache on your device. This data may be lost if you clear the cache, uninstall the App, or change devices.

• 
  

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the Service: Delivering IPTV streams, allowing playlist uploads, managing user accounts (if registered).

• To Personalize Your Experience: Saving favorite channels or playlists for registered users.

• To Improve the App: Analyzing usage patterns, fixing bugs, and developing new features.

• To Display Advertisements: Showing ads within the App, which supports its free availability. Ads may be targeted based on non-personal information like general location or app usage context. We use third-party ad networks for this purpose (see Section 4).

• To Communicate With You: Sending important service notices or responding to support requests (primarily for registered users via their provided email).

• For Security and Compliance: Preventing fraud, enforcing our terms, and complying with legal obligations.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information (like your email address if registered) to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Third-Party Service Providers: We share information with third-party companies that perform services on our behalf, such as:

  • Advertising Networks: Google AdMob, Meta Audience Network. These networks may collect non-personal information (like device identifiers, approximate location, usage data) to serve targeted ads. They operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them. You can often opt-out of personalized advertising through your device settings (e.g., Android Advertising ID settings).

  • Analytics Providers: Google Firebase Analytics. This help us understand app usage. Data is often aggregated and anonymized.

  • Cloud Hosting Providers: To store data like registered user account information and uploaded playlists. These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to protect it.

• 
  

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

• Business Transfers: If World TV Stream is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

• Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized data (which cannot reasonably identify you) with partners for analysis or industry reporting.

5. Data Storage and Security

• Storage: Information collected may be stored and processed on servers located within or outside your country of residence. Registered user data (email, playlists) is stored on our secure servers. Non-registered user data (like playlists or temporary favorites) is stored locally in the App's cache on your device.

• Security: We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Retention: We retain personal information for registered users as long as their account is active or as needed to provide the service. We retain non-personal usage data for analytics and improvement purposes. Data stored locally in the cache is subject to device storage management and user actions (clearing cache, uninstalling). You can delete your registered account by contacting us at hello@worldtvstream.com.

6. User Choices and Rights

• Registration: Registration is optional.

• Accessing/Updating Information: Registered users may be able to access or update their account information (e.g., email) through account settings (if available) or by contacting us.

• Deleting Your Account: Registered users can request deletion of their account and associated personal data by contacting us at hello@worldtvstream.com. Please note that deletion may be subject to legal retention requirements.

• Deleting Local Data: Non-registered users can typically clear locally stored data (like cached playlists) by clearing the App's cache or data through their device's settings, or by uninstalling the App.

• Advertising Preferences: You can usually limit ad tracking or opt-out of interest-based advertising through your mobile device's settings (e.g., "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android).

7. Content Disclaimer and IPTV Sources

• No Hosting: IPTV All Languages does not host, provide, archive, store, or distribute media of any kind. The App acts as an index or directory of media content found publicly on the internet.

• Source: We primarily utilize publicly available channel links aggregated by the iptv-org/iptv project on GitHub (https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv). This project states it is a "Collection of publicly available IPTV channels from all over the world" and operates under the Unlicense (public domain).

• Legality and Copyright: The iptv-org/iptv repository notes: "No video files are stored in this repository. The repository simply contains user-submitted links to publicly available video stream URLs, which to the best of our knowledge have been intentionally made publicly by the copyright holders." We rely on this representation.

• No Responsibility: World TV Stream (WTS) has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, legality, accuracy, or availability of the channels linked within the App or within user-uploaded M3U playlists. Streaming copyrighted content without permission may be illegal in your jurisdiction. Users are solely responsible for the content they access and for verifying the legality of that content.

• DMCA/Takedowns: As stated by iptv-org/iptv, linking does not directly infringe copyright. WTS does not host the content. If you believe a link infringes your rights, you should contact the web host that is actually hosting the content. Removing a link from the App or the source repository will not remove the content from the web.

8. Children's Privacy

The IPTV All Languages App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
