Privacy policy
What EPTV stores, which services it connects to, and what happens when you visit this website or contact us.
Effective date: 7 October 2026. Publisher and privacy contact: Alexei Crecotun, tracktionsapp@gmail.com.
The Mac and Apple TV apps
EPTV plays streams and displays programme guides from sources you add. It does not supply television channels or subscriptions and does not require an EPTV account.
Information stored on your device
EPTV stores playlists, source addresses and request settings, channel and programme information, Favorites, hidden-channel settings, preferences and recent viewing information in its local app storage. It also caches downloaded guide information and artwork. Source addresses and request headers may contain provider credentials.
Exported EPTV snapshots can contain your source configuration, credentials and viewing information. Export happens when you choose it; keep these files private. Importing a snapshot can replace your local library after confirmation.
Connections to your sources
Your device connects directly to the playlist, guide, artwork and stream hosts used by your setup. Requests can include the addresses and authorization information needed by your provider. Those hosts receive ordinary connection information such as your IP address and request details and apply their own privacy policies. EPTV may also download public channel metadata from the IPTV-org dataset hosted on GitHub.
EPTV allows user-selected HTTP sources. Unlike HTTPS, HTTP does not encrypt the information in transit. Use trusted sources and HTTPS when your provider supports it.
Publisher access and Apple services
The Mac and Apple TV apps do not include publisher-operated advertising, analytics or automatic crash-upload services. EPTV does not send your library, provider credentials or viewing history to a publisher-operated server. Website analytics is separate and cannot read your app library.
iCloud playlist sync is disabled for the public release. Your playlists are not uploaded to CloudKit by the locked release. Apple may separately process App Store, TestFlight, device diagnostics or backup information according to your Apple settings and Apple's privacy policy.
Retention and removal
Local library information remains until you remove it or the operating system removes app storage. Delete a playlist through EPTV's playlist-management controls to remove it from the local library. Downloaded caches may be retained separately or cleared by the operating system.
To remove all Mac app data, quit EPTV, open Finder's Go → Go to Folder, enter ~/Library/Containers/, and move the EPTV container named com.crecotun.eptv.mac to Trash. On Apple TV, delete EPTV through Settings → General → Manage Storage. Removing the app does not remove snapshots you exported, original files you imported, or copies in device backups; manage those separately.
This website
Firebase Hosting, operated by Google, delivers this website and processes network requests, including your IP address, for delivery and security. The website stores your light/dark appearance preference and analytics choice in this browser's local storage. These preferences are not sent to the publisher.
Optional Google Analytics through Firebase starts only after you choose Allow analytics. It helps us understand page visits and website usage. Google can process page addresses, interactions, browser and device information, approximate location and identifiers stored in cookies or browser storage. We do not configure custom user IDs or send native app data or provider details to website analytics.
You can decline analytics and continue using every page. Use Privacy choices on any page to change your choice; withdrawing consent stops future collection in this browser and clears Google Analytics cookies accessible to this website. It does not erase information already processed by Google. Browser privacy tools can provide additional controls. Analytics remains off if scripts or preference storage are unavailable.
Google may process information outside your country. See Google's privacy policy, how Google uses information from partner websites and Google Analytics data practices for its processing, safeguards and retention practices.
Support and your choices
If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any attachments through Gmail. We use them to answer your request and resolve the issue. Please remove provider URLs, passwords, tokens and personal viewing information before sending a message. We retain correspondence while it is needed to handle the request, follow up on the issue or meet applicable legal obligations; you can ask us to remove it.
Contact tracktionsapp@gmail.com to request access, correction or deletion of information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict processing where applicable. We cannot access or delete your device-local library or records held by your provider. Where European data-protection law applies, support processing is based on responding to your request and our legitimate interest in providing support; optional website analytics is based on your consent. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
Policy changes
We will update this page and its effective date when these practices change. Any future release that enables additional data transfers will be described here before that feature is distributed.
