Privacy Policy

We are TechDevZen, the developer of Pro IPTV — a professional IPTV media player for Android that lets you stream live TV channels and video content from M3U playlists.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Pro IPTV Android application (package: com.iptv.vplayerpro), available on Google Play at €6.99. By using the app, you agree to the data practices described here.

live_tv1. What the App Does

Pro IPTV is a professional IPTV media player that provides:

• M3U Playlist loading — import live TV channel lists from a URL or local file
• Live TV channel streaming — watch IPTV channels via HTTP, HLS, RTSP, RTMP and MMS streams
• Electronic Program Guide (EPG) — view current and upcoming TV programme schedules
• Favourites — save and organise your preferred channels locally on the device
• Premium tab — registered users can access exclusive playlists curated and managed by the service administrator
• MAC-locked playlists — personalised playlists assigned to a specific device by its network MAC address
• Built-in web browser — access web-based stream sources from within the app
• YouTube playback — stream YouTube links embedded in playlists
• Push notifications — receive alerts about new content or service announcements
• Theme support — choose your preferred light or dark visual theme

The app is a paid application (€6.99) and contains no advertising. Basic channel browsing does not require an account. Creating an optional account unlocks the Premium playlist section.

settings3. How We Use Your Data

• To provide the streaming service — load and play IPTV channels from M3U playlists (local or online)
• To deliver the Premium playlist service — authenticate registered users and serve curated playlists
• To assign MAC-locked playlists — use the device MAC address to identify devices entitled to a specific personalised playlist
• To manage your account — store your username, email, and hashed password securely for login and profile management
• To send push notifications — alerts about new playlists, channel updates or service announcements (you can disable these in system settings)
• To maintain service security — detect banned devices, identify unusual activity, and protect the service from abuse
• To improve the service — anonymous device and access statistics help us monitor service health and device compatibility
• To approximate geographic usage — IP-based country and city data is used in aggregate only to understand where the service is used; it is not used to build individual profiles

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to operating the Pro IPTV service.

diamond4. Premium Account & Authentication

The Premium tab provides access to exclusive playlists managed by the service administrator. To access it, you can create a free account within the app.

person_addAccount Registration

When you register, you provide:

• Username — a display name of your choice
• Email address — used as your login identifier
• Password — stored as a bcrypt hash; we never store or transmit your plain-text password

Alternatively, you may sign in with Google Sign-In, in which case your Google account email, display name, and profile picture URL are shared with our server by Google.

lockSession Tokens

At login, the server generates a session token (a SHA-256 hash) and stores it in your account record. The app stores this token in local SharedPreferences to authenticate subsequent API requests. The token is invalidated when you change your password or log out.

manage_accountsAccount Management

From within the app you can:

• Update your username, email address, and password
• Upload or change your profile avatar
• Log out, which invalidates your session token immediately
• Request deletion of your account by contacting us at techdevzen@gmail.com

notifications5. Push Notifications

The app uses OneSignal to deliver push notifications about new premium playlists, service updates, or announcements.

• When push notifications are enabled, a push token (a random device identifier assigned by OneSignal) is stored on our server and shared with OneSignal
• The push token is not linked to your personal identity and cannot be used to identify you
• We do not use push notifications for advertising purposes

To disable push notifications: Go to Android Settings → Apps → Pro IPTV → Notifications, and turn off notifications. You can re-enable them at any time.

storage6. Local Storage on Your Device

The following data is stored exclusively on your device in the app's private storage. It is never uploaded to our servers and is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear app data:

• IPTV channel database — channels parsed from your imported M3U playlists, stored in a local SQLite database
• Favourite channels — channels you mark as favourites
• Session token — your Premium login token (stored in SharedPreferences)
• Active playlist preference — which playlist was last selected
• App theme and layout settings — your visual preferences (dark/light mode, list/grid layout)
• EPG cache — programme guide data downloaded for offline use
• Web browser bookmarks — bookmarks you create in the built-in web browser tab

hub7. Third-Party Services

Pro IPTV integrates a small number of third-party services. No advertising SDKs are integrated.

share8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only as follows:

• OneSignal — receives your device push token to deliver notifications
• Firebase / Google — receives push token for FCM infrastructure
• Google (if using Google Sign-In) — your Google profile data (email, name, avatar) is shared with our server by Google to create your account
• Law enforcement — only when legally required by a valid court order or applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction
• Business transfer — if TechDevZen or the Pro IPTV service is acquired or merged, your data would be transferred with equivalent privacy protections in place

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, analytics companies, or any other third party beyond those listed above.

schedule9. Data Retention

security10. Security

We implement appropriate technical security measures to protect the data we process:

• Encrypted API communication — all data exchanged between the app and our server is encrypted using AES-256-CBC and transmitted over HTTPS/TLS
• Password hashing — passwords are hashed with bcrypt before storage and are never stored or transmitted in plain text
• Token-based authentication — sessions use SHA-256 tokens, not passwords; tokens can be immediately invalidated on logout
• Device banning — the admin panel allows individual devices to be banned from the service without affecting other users
• Minimal data collection — we follow the principle of data minimisation, collecting only what is strictly necessary to deliver the service
• No payment data — the €6.99 purchase is processed entirely by Google Play; we never receive or store payment card information

While we take security seriously, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If you discover a security issue, please report it to techdevzen@gmail.com.

language11. International Data Transfers

Our service server may be located in the European Union or other countries. Some third-party services (OneSignal, Google Firebase) process data in the United States.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA): transfers to third countries are made under appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission. Details can be provided on request.

By using Pro IPTV, you acknowledge that your technical data may be processed in countries outside your country of residence.
