1. Introduction

Welcome to TV Remote Control ("App", "we", "our", or "us").

We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how information is accessed, collected, used, and shared when you use our application.

TV Remote Control allows users to control compatible Android TV, Google TV, LG webOS, and Samsung Tizen smart TVs using their Android devices.

This Privacy Policy explains our data practices, including information processed locally on your device and information collected by third-party services integrated into the App.

By using the App, you acknowledge the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where required, we request your consent separately.

2. Information We Collect

We do not require users to create an account or provide personal information such as their name, email address, or phone number to use the App.

However, certain information may be processed automatically to provide app functionality, improve performance, analyze usage, and display advertisements.

2.1 TV Connection Information

To discover, connect to, and control compatible smart TVs, the App may access or process:

  • TV manufacturer and model
  • TV name and device information
  • Local IP address and network information
  • TV connection and pairing information
  • Information required to communicate with the connected TV

TV connection details and saved device information are stored locally on your device.

We do not transmit this locally stored connection information to our own servers. However, limited information such as TV manufacturer, model, and connection status may be included in Firebase Analytics events as described below.

The App communicates with compatible TVs over the local network to perform remote control functions.

2.2 Analytics and Usage Information

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the App and to improve functionality, reliability, and user experience.

Information collected may include:

  • App launches and usage sessions
  • Device information and operating system version
  • App version and general usage information
  • TV manufacturer and model
  • TV connection attempts, results, and errors
  • Remote control button usage
  • Feature interactions and usage frequency
  • Premium feature trials and purchase-related events
  • App instance identifiers and approximate location information derived by analytics services

We also collect custom Firebase Analytics events to evaluate feature usage, identify technical issues, and guide future improvements.

We use these analytics to understand App performance and improve its features.

Firebase Analytics may process this information on Google's servers according to Google's privacy and data processing practices.

2.3 Crash Reports and Diagnostics

We use Firebase Crashlytics to monitor App stability and identify technical problems.

Crashlytics may collect:

  • Crash logs and error information
  • Device model and operating system details
  • App version and installation information
  • Crash-related identifiers
  • Diagnostic and performance information

This information helps us identify crashes, investigate errors, and improve App reliability.

We do not intentionally include personal messages, voice recordings, or other unnecessary sensitive information in our custom crash reports.

3. Permissions and Device Access

The App requests or uses device permissions and capabilities necessary for its functionality.

3.1 Local Network Access

The App uses local network access, including the Android ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK permission where applicable, to discover and communicate with compatible smart TVs.

This access is used for:

  • Discovering nearby compatible TVs on the local network
  • Establishing connections with TVs
  • Sending remote control commands
  • Maintaining TV connections

TV discovery and remote control communication are intended to operate within your local network.

3.2 Microphone and Voice Search

The App uses your microphone when you activate supported voice search or voice assistant features.

Depending on the connected TV and available functionality, voice input is handled in one of two ways:

  • Android speech recognition: Your spoken input is processed by Android’s speech recognition service. Depending on your device, selected provider, and settings, audio may be processed locally or transmitted to the speech recognition provider.
  • Native TV voice functionality: The App captures microphone audio and sends it over your local network to the connected Android TV or Samsung TV. The TV or its voice-service provider may process the audio, including through online services, according to its own settings and privacy policy.

The App does not independently maintain a database of your voice recordings or intentionally store them on our servers. Audio processing and retention by speech recognition providers, TV manufacturers, or their voice-service providers are governed by their respective privacy policies.

3.3 Motion Sensors

The App uses compatible device motion sensors to provide Motion Remote functionality.

Motion sensor readings are used to interpret your phone's movement and translate it into supported TV navigation commands.

We do not intentionally store raw motion sensor recordings on our servers.

4. Local Data Storage

The App may save certain information locally on your device, including:

  • Previously connected TVs
  • TV connection details
  • Pairing information
  • App preferences and settings
  • Information required to maintain supported App functionality

This information is used to provide a convenient experience, including reconnecting to previously connected TVs.

You may remove locally saved information using available App controls or by clearing the App's storage through Android settings.

Uninstalling the App generally removes its locally stored data, subject to any device backup and restore functionality.

Locally stored information is separate from analytics, diagnostics, advertising data, and purchase records maintained by third-party services.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The App is supported by advertising and may use third-party advertising networks and mediation platforms, including:

  • Google AdMob
  • AppLovin MAX
  • Unity LevelPlay / ironSource
  • Meta Audience Network
  • InMobi
  • Mintegral
  • Unity Ads

These services may collect or process certain information to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, and support advertising operations.

Depending on the advertising provider, device settings, and consent choices, this information may include:

  • Advertising identifiers
  • Device and operating system information
  • App interaction and advertising activity
  • IP address and approximate location
  • Ad impressions, clicks, and related performance information
  • Other information permitted under applicable privacy settings and laws

Personalized and Non-Personalized Advertising

The App may display personalized or non-personalized advertisements depending on applicable consent requirements, user preferences, and advertising configuration.

Where applicable, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and manage advertising consent.

Users may also manage advertising privacy settings through their Android device and available consent controls.

Third-party advertising providers process information according to their respective privacy policies and applicable legal obligations.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of the third-party services used in the App.

The App provides certain basic features for free and offers additional premium functionality through a one-time lifetime purchase.

Premium features may include:

  • Motion Remote
  • LG Pointer Control
  • TV Keyboard
  • Voice Search

Purchases are processed through Google Play Billing.

We do not directly collect or store your credit card details or other complete payment information.

Google Play handles payment processing according to its applicable policies.

We may process purchase status, product identifiers, transaction-related information, and purchase events as necessary to verify purchases, manage premium access, prevent fraud, and analyze App performance.

Certain purchase records may be retained by Google Play according to Google's policies and applicable legal requirements.

7. How We Use Information

Information collected or processed through the App may be used to:

  • Provide TV discovery, pairing, and remote control functionality

  • Manage premium access and purchases
  • Prevent misuse, fraud, and security issues
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

We seek to limit information processing to purposes relevant to App functionality, analytics, advertising, security, and improvement.

8. Information Sharing

We do not operate our own backend for storing users' TV connection information.

However, information may be transmitted to and processed by third-party service providers integrated into the App, including:

  • Google Firebase Analytics
  • Google Firebase Crashlytics
  • Google Play Billing
  • Advertising networks and mediation providers
  • Android speech recognition services

These providers may process data to deliver their services, measure performance, provide diagnostics, support advertising, or perform other disclosed functions.

We may also disclose information if legally required or reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or protect users and services.

We do not intentionally sell users' locally stored TV connection information.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Locally Stored Information

Information saved by the App locally remains on your device until it is removed through available App functionality, Android storage controls, or App uninstallation, subject to device backup settings.

Analytics and Diagnostic Information

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics may retain information according to their respective retention settings and policies.

Advertising Information

Advertising networks may retain information according to their own privacy policies, consent choices, and applicable legal requirements.

Purchase Information

Purchase information may be retained by Google Play as necessary for purchase management, fraud prevention, accounting, or legal compliance.

Data Deletion Requests

If you have questions or wish to request deletion of data associated with our App that we can identify and control, you may contact:

contact.silvernest@gmail.com

We will review applicable requests and respond in accordance with relevant privacy laws.

Some information processed independently by third-party providers may need to be managed through those providers' privacy controls or request mechanisms.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled through the App.

TV connection information is stored locally, while integrated third-party services maintain their own security practices.

We seek to use appropriate security measures for data transmission and storage where applicable.

However, no method of electronic storage or data transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Children's Privacy

TV Remote Control is a general-purpose utility application and is not specifically designed for children.

We do not intentionally request children's personal information or knowingly collect personal information directly from children through user registration.

The App may contain advertisements and third-party services that process information according to their own policies and applicable age-related requirements.

If you believe a child has provided personal information that requires attention, please contact us at:

contact.silvernest@gmail.com

We will review the request and take appropriate action.

12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have rights concerning access to, correction of, deletion of, or restrictions on the processing of your personal data.

You may also be able to:

  • Manage device permissions through Android settings

  • Manage advertising preferences and available consent choices
  • Limit or reset advertising identifiers through supported device settings
  • Contact us with privacy-related questions or requests

To exercise applicable privacy rights, contact:

13. International Data Processing

Some third-party service providers used by the App may process or store information in countries other than your country of residence.

Such processing is governed by the providers' applicable privacy and security practices and relevant legal requirements.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in App functionality, integrated services, legal requirements, or data handling practices.
