Privacy policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

This policy explains which data Popcorn IPTV (the app and popcornplayer.app) uses, why, and what your rights are. We collect as little as possible and sell nothing.

Who we are

Popcorn IPTV is a media player. For privacy questions, email info@availix.io.

Device data

The app creates a device ID (shown as a MAC number) and a device code for each device. We use them to keep track of the trial and Premium per device and to let you send a playlist to your device.

Your playlist

Your playlist and your provider login are stored on your own device. If you upload them through the website, we keep them only until your device has fetched them. When you sign in with a QR code they stay on the server for at most 15 minutes and are deleted after being fetched once.

Payments

If you pay via Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Stripe or PayPal, that party processes your payment. We never see card or bank details; we only keep the order number, amount, payment method, country (for VAT) and the device Premium belongs to.

Error reports and usage

The app sends error reports and a few usage steps (such as “playlist loaded” or “playback started”) to our server, without addresses, logins or what you watch. They are linked to the device ID and deleted after 90 days.

Third-party services

For artwork, logos and ratings the app looks up titles at TMDB; for subtitles at OpenSubtitles; for sports at TheSportsDB. Only the title or search query is sent. Casting runs over your own Wi-Fi; the stream does not pass through our servers.

IP addresses

Your IP address is used briefly to limit abuse (such as too many wrong codes) and is not stored in a profile.

No advertising

Popcorn IPTV shows no ads, does not use an advertising ID and does not sell or share data with advertisers.

Storage and security

Data is stored on servers in the European Union, sent encrypted (HTTPS) and kept no longer than necessary.

Your rights

You can access, correct or delete your data and object to its use. Email your MAC number to info@availix.io. You can also complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Popcorn IPTV is not intended for children under 16 without a parent’s consent. A kids profile in the app hides locked folders.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes too.
