Privacy Policy
In short: Arab IPTV Player has no accounts, advertising, analytics or tracking. Your provider details, favourites and history stay on your device. We only receive information if you email us.
1. Who we are
Arab IPTV Player is published by Usama Rahim, an individual developer ("we", "us"). We are the controller for the limited personal data described here. Contact: usama.rahim@icloud.com.
2. Data stored only on your device
To work, the app stores the following on your device. It is not sent to us.
| Data | Purpose | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Server URL, username, password, or M3U URL | Connect to your provider | iOS Keychain (if you choose "Remember") |
| Profile name | Personalise the app | App storage |
| Favourites, recently watched, resume positions | My list, Recently watched, resume playback | App storage |
| Downloaded videos and download records | Offline viewing; finishing or retrying transfers | App's private storage |
| Player settings | Remember your preferences | App storage |
Download records can include the authenticated request address needed to finish or retry a transfer, even if you don't choose to remember your login. Disconnecting clears them.
3. Your IPTV provider
When you connect, the app communicates directly with the provider you entered and with the servers and content delivery networks it uses. They receive your credentials, IP address, device and network information, and the requests needed to deliver the catalogue, artwork and streams. We don't control and aren't responsible for those services. Their own terms and privacy policies apply. HTTPS protects connections where your provider supports it; plain HTTP connections are not encrypted.
4. Information we collect
- From the app: none. The app has no developer server and doesn't send us your viewing history, credentials, identifiers or usage data.
- If you contact us: your email address, name (if given) and the contents of your message, used only to answer you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding to requests, or your consent.
- Apple: Apple may give developers aggregated, anonymised App Store statistics and, if you opted in to share with developers, crash reports. These are governed by Apple's privacy policy.
We don't sell or rent personal data, and we don't share it with third parties except where required by law.
5. Tracking and advertising
The app contains no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and doesn't use the advertising identifier (IDFA). We don't track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
6. Device permissions
The app uses network access to reach your provider and background transfers to complete downloads. It doesn't request access to your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or health data.
7. Security
Saved logins are kept in the iOS Keychain, and other data in the app's sandbox. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so keep your device protected with a passcode.
8. Retention and deletion
- On-device data remains until you tap Disconnect & remove saved data, delete items in Downloads, or delete the app. iOS may keep Keychain items after the app is deleted, so disconnect first.
- Support emails are kept for up to 24 months, then deleted, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
Step-by-step instructions: Delete your data.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR, the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law, or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we hold no app data about you, most requests will concern support emails. Email usama.rahim@icloud.com and we'll respond within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
10. Children
Arab IPTV Player isn't directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we don't knowingly collect their personal data. Content available through your provider may not be suitable for children. Use your device's Screen Time and parental controls. If you believe a child has contacted us with personal data, email us and we'll delete it.
11. This website
arabiptv.online uses no cookies, analytics, advertising or third-party scripts. Our hosting provider processes standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) to deliver and secure the site, for a short period.
12. Changes and contact
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, note it in the app's release notes. Questions: usama.rahim@icloud.com.
