Privacy Policy

IPTV Backseat · Last updated 2026-10-22

Summary: IPTV Backseat does not collect any data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party SDK. We — the developer — receive nothing from the app.

What stays on your device

• Playlist links and files, and the server addresses you add.
• Xtream passwords and Jellyfin, Emby and Plex sign-in tokens — kept in the iOS Keychain on this device.
• Favorites, renamed or hidden items, watch progress, the trip queue and the trip log.
• Films you save for offline viewing.
• A small summary for the widgets and the Live Activity: titles and minutes only, never links or logins.

It is removed when you delete a source in Settings or delete the app.

Network connections

The app connects only to:

• The servers in the playlists and media servers you add — to load lists, artwork and video.
• Your own Jellyfin, Emby or Plex server, to report where you stopped watching so “continue watching” matches on your other devices.
• plex.tv, only when you choose to connect Plex: you approve Backseat on plex.tv, and your Plex password is never typed into Backseat.
• Websites you open yourself in the built-in browser.

Those servers are run by you or your provider, not by us; their own privacy policies apply.

Permissions
