Privacy

Last updated 26 October 2026. Applies to the Tavi Player app on Android, Fire TV and Windows, and to this website.

The short version: your logins stay on your device and nothing you watch is sent to us. Tavi has no account system, no analytics and no advertising. The longer version follows.

What the app stores, and where

• Your provider logins (server address, username, password, or an M3U link) are stored on your device only, in the operating system's protected storage where it offers one. They are sent to your provider when the app fetches channels, the guide and streams; that is the only place they go.
• Your settings (colour scheme, Flat mode, Kids mode channels and PIN, favourites, reminders) are stored on your device.
• Viewing history ("Continue watching", recent channels, resume positions) is stored on your device so the app can pick up where you left off. It is never uploaded. You can clear it in Settings → Library & storage.
• Caches of channel lists, guide data and artwork are kept on your device so the app starts quickly. Clear cache removes them.

Uninstalling the app deletes all of the above.

Who the app talks to

• Your provider — the service whose login or playlist you entered. What they see is between you and them; Tavi identifies itself to them with a user-agent string that you can change in Settings → Player.
• The Movie Database (TMDB) — only if you add your own TMDB key, and only to fetch artwork and information for titles in your library. Requests go from your device to TMDB directly using your key. TMDB's own privacy policy applies to them.
• Nobody else. There is no Tavi server involved in using the free app. We do not receive your logins, your channel list, your searches or what you watch.

Tavi Plus (when it opens)

Buying Plus will need a way to recognise your devices. The plan is an email address and a licence record (which tier, how many devices, which devices are signed in) held on our server, and nothing else — not your provider details and not your viewing. This page will be updated with the specifics before Plus goes on sale. Purchases made through Google Play or the Microsoft Store are handled by those stores under their own terms.

This website

• We don't use cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. The page loads a font from Google Fonts, which means Google's servers see your IP address when the font is fetched.
• If you use the contact form, we receive what you typed plus your email address, and we use them only to reply. Messages are sent through Resend (our email provider) to our mailbox. We delete them once the conversation is over, or after a year at most.
• Our web host keeps ordinary server logs (IP address, time, page requested) for a short period for security.

Children

Kids mode is a feature for parents to set up; the app does not collect anything from children or anyone else.

Your rights

Because the app keeps everything on your device, you are in control of it: open the app to see it, use Clear cache or uninstall to delete it. For anything you sent us by email, write to the same address and we'll delete or send you a copy of it. We're based in the United Kingdom and UK data-protection law applies.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top moves and the change is described in the app's release notes.
