PlaylistTV — Privacy Policy
Effective 22 August 2026
Overview
PlaylistTV collects nothing about you. There is no account with us, no registration, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party analytics or advertising SDK of any kind. This policy is short because there is very little to describe.
What the app stores, and where
PlaylistTV keeps a local copy of the channel line-ups it reads from your server, plus your own playback progress and settings. This lives on your device. If you switch on iCloud sync, that same data is synchronised through your own iCloud account under Apple's terms. It is your iCloud, not ours — we have no access to it and no way to request access.
What the app connects to
- Your Plex Media Server, directly, using the credentials you provide. The app only reads from it. The single exception is the optional setting that marks a finished episode as watched on your server, which is off by default.
- plex.tv, to sign you in and to discover your servers. That is Plex Inc.'s service and is governed by Plex's own privacy policy. PlaylistTV is not affiliated with Plex Inc.
- Apple's iCloud, only if you switch sync on, and only your own account.
There is no server operated by us. No data is sent to us, because there is nowhere for it to be sent.
Demo Mode
The built-in demo uses invented channels and a sample clip included with the app. It contacts nothing at all.
Purchases
The full version is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple. We receive Apple's sales reports, which contain no personal information about you.
Children
The app is rated 4+ and collects nothing, so nothing is collected from children either.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the date above changes with it.
