Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Car.TV: Cast & M3U IPTV Player (“Car.TV”), made by DeeplyAi (“we”), handles information on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and CarPlay.
The short version
- Car.TV does not collect any data. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party SDK.
- We have no servers that receive your information. Your playlists, servers, favourites and watch history stay on your devices.
- Car.TV talks only to the playlists and media servers you add, and to Apple for purchases.
- iCloud sync is optional and uses your own private iCloud, which we cannot read.
1. What we collect
Nothing. Car.TV’s App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Collected”. We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number, we do not use advertising identifiers, and we do not sell or share personal information.
2. What stays on your device
The playlists, Xtream Codes portals, media servers and video files you add, your favourites, watch progress, downloads and settings are stored on your device. Passwords and access tokens for the servers you add are kept in the iOS Keychain. They are never written to logs or diagnostics, and a token is always sent in a request header, never in a web address.
3. Who Car.TV connects to
- Your sources. Car.TV connects to the playlists, portals and media servers (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, WebDAV) that you add, to fetch the channels, guide and videos you choose. Those services see a normal request from your device, including your IP address, and have their own privacy policies.
- The sample playlist. If you add the sample playlist in Settings, Car.TV downloads it from
deeplyai.appand plays its streams from the organisations that publish them (DW, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, TRT and Mux). Like any web request, those servers see your IP address. Nothing else is sent, and nothing at all unless you add it. - The Free-TV list. If you add it, Car.TV downloads the community-maintained list from
github.comand plays each channel from its broadcaster’s own server, which sees your IP address like any web request. - Apple. The App Store, to show prices and handle purchases.
4. Casting, the local network and the car
- Local network. To play on a Chromecast, Google TV or smart TV, Car.TV looks for those devices on your Wi-Fi and, when you cast a video saved on your device, serves it to the TV you picked. This stays on your local network.
- AirPlay and CarPlay are provided by iOS. Car.TV hands the video or audio to the system; Apple’s privacy policy applies.
5. Permissions
Each permission is asked for only when you first use the feature that needs it, and you can change it at any time in Settings.
- Camera — only to scan a playlist QR code. No image is stored.
- Photos — only to play a video you choose from your library.
- Local network — only to find and play on TVs, as described above.
6. iCloud sync
iCloud sync is off by default and is part of Car.TV Pro. If you turn it on, your library and progress sync through your own private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit), which belongs to your Apple Account. We cannot access it. Passwords are never synced.
7. Apple Watch, widgets and Siri
The Apple Watch app, widgets, Live Activities and Shortcuts read the same on-device data as the app and send it nowhere.
8. Purchases
Car.TV Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple handles the payment; we never receive your payment details or your Apple Account. The app only asks Apple whether a valid purchase exists.
9. Children
Car.TV is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone. The parental lock can hide adult categories.
10. Your rights
Laws such as the GDPR and CCPA give you the right to access, correct, export or delete the personal data a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is no record of you to produce or erase.
11. Deleting your data
Remove a source in Car.TV, use Settings › Reset all data, or delete the app, and that data is gone from the device. If you used iCloud sync, you can also manage Car.TV’s data in your device’s iCloud settings.
12. Changes
If this policy changes, we will post the new version here and update the effective date. If a change ever means Car.TV starts collecting something, we will say so plainly.
