2 Scope
This notice explains what data the App collects or accesses, how we use and share it, and your choices. It applies to all PlayerHaus builds distributed through Google Play and any related communications.
3 Information We Collect
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Device & Log Data | Android version, model, language, crash logs, session length | App operation, troubleshooting, analytics |
| Usage Data | Screens viewed, buttons tapped, playback stats, ad impressions | Product improvement, ad frequency capping |
| Advertising / Notification IDs | Google Advertising ID, Firebase Instance ID, OneSignal push token | Analytics, ads, notification delivery |
| Media-Library Access | Local video files (via READ_MEDIA_VIDEO / READ_MEDIA_IMAGES) | Core feature: list & play local media (processed only on-device) |
| Optional Inputs | Torrent/magnet links, playlist URLs, subtitle searches, optional User-Agent strings | Provide requested streams; stored locally |
| Built-in Browser Data | Temporary history, cookies, cached pages (stored locally until you clear history) | Enable in-app browsing |
We do not collect any history or logs of the Add-ons you install or the content sources you use for streaming.
4 How We Use the Information
- Operate and improve core playback, torrent caching, playlists and Add-ons
- Analyse performance and crashes via Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics
- Display advertising through Google AdMob, AppLovin and Unity Ads
- Send optional push notifications via OneSignal
- Detect fraud and enforce our Terms
- Comply with legal obligations
5 Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell personal data. We share limited data only with the processors below under GDPR-compliant agreements:
| Service | Data Shared | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Advertising ID, coarse location | Monetisation / ad measurement |
| AppLovin & Unity Ads | Advertising ID | Additional ad networks |
| Firebase (Google) | Device & usage data, crash logs | Analytics, crash reporting |
| OneSignal | Advertising ID, push token | Notification delivery |
| Subtitle APIs (e.g., OpenSubtitles) | Search terms | Retrieve subtitles on demand |
Data may also be disclosed to comply with law, defend our rights, or with your explicit consent.
6 Special Considerations for Add-ons & Content Responsibility
- Content Responsibility: PlayerHaus is a tool; you are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to access any content you stream or download (torrents, IPTV, URLs, Add-ons).
- Local Server: Torrent caching occurs on a localhost server running only on your device; PlayerHaus does not upload private files externally.
- Third-Party Add-ons: Add-ons are built by independent developers. Review each Add-on’s terms before installation.
7 Data Retention
- Crash/analytics logs – up to 24 months
- Advertising & notification IDs – retained until you reset them or uninstall
- Local media lists, playlists, Add-on manifests – remain on your device until you delete them or clear cache
8 Your Rights & Choices
Subject to local law you may access, correct, delete or port your data; object to processing; or opt-out of personalised ads (reset Advertising ID) and notifications. Email [email protected] (include your Firebase Instance ID) to exercise rights.
9 Security
We use HTTPS, encrypted transport, least-access controls and secure-by-default SDK settings. No system is perfect, but we continually enhance safeguards.
10 International Transfers
Service providers may process data outside your country. We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards where required.
11 Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
12 Changes
We may revise this notice; we’ll post updates in-app and on playerhaus.app/privacy. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
