This Privacy Policy explains how TV Remote ("we", "our", or "the App") handles information when you use our mobile application.
We respect your privacy and are committed to handling information responsibly. This policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used, and your available choices.
1. Information We Collect
TV Remote is designed to provide infrared remote-control functionality for compatible consumer electronics.
Depending on the features you use, the App may store or process:
- Configured remote profiles
- Selected device brands and remote settings
- Favorite brands or saved preferences
- App settings and interface preferences
- Basic technical information required for app operation
The App does not require you to create an account to use its basic remote-control functionality.
2. Infrared Functionality
TV Remote uses the infrared transmitter available on compatible Android devices to send remote-control signals to supported televisions, soundbars, and other compatible devices.
Infrared commands are generated and transmitted by your device. The App does not need to collect personal information from the television or other equipment being controlled.
Device compatibility depends on the phone's hardware, the target device, and the infrared command codes supported by the App.
3. Local Storage
Configured remote profiles, selected brands, favorites, and preferences may be stored locally on your device.
Locally stored information generally remains on your device until you clear the App's data, reset the relevant settings, or uninstall the App.
4. How We Use Information
Information associated with your use of the App may be used to:
- Configure and maintain remote profiles
- Remember selected device brands
- Save user preferences and favorites
- Provide remote-control functionality
- Improve app performance and usability
- Identify and resolve technical problems
- Maintain security and prevent misuse
5. Internet and Offline Use
Basic infrared remote-control functionality does not require a continuous internet connection.
Certain optional features, including advertising, analytics, crash reporting, or other third-party services, may require an internet connection.
6. Third-Party Services
The App may use trusted third-party services to support features such as advertising, analytics, crash reporting, or technical functionality.
Depending on the services enabled in the App, these providers may process technical information such as device information, operating system version, App version, diagnostic information, advertising identifiers, and general App interaction data.
Third-party providers process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.
7. Advertising
TV Remote may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks.
If advertising is enabled, advertising providers may process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, approximate location, and interactions with advertisements, subject to applicable laws and platform policies.
You can manage certain advertising and privacy preferences through your Android device settings and controls provided by the relevant advertising service.
8. Analytics and Crash Reporting
We may use analytics or crash-reporting services to understand application performance, identify technical issues, and improve the reliability of TV Remote.
These services may process technical information such as device type, operating system version, App version, crash information, diagnostics, and general interaction data.
9. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to provide services such as advertising, analytics, crash reporting, security, or technical support.
We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, or services.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through the App.
However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Data Retention and Deletion
Locally stored remote configurations and preferences may remain on your device until you clear the App's data or uninstall the App.
If information is processed by a third-party service, its retention may be governed by that provider's privacy policy and applicable legal requirements.
You can remove locally stored App information by clearing the App's data through Android settings or by uninstalling the App.
12. Children's Privacy
TV Remote is a general-purpose utility application. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.
13. Your Choices
- You can use the App without creating an account.
- You can choose which compatible devices to configure.
- You can manage saved remote profiles and preferences.
- You can disable notifications through device settings, if applicable.
- You can clear the App's locally stored data.
- You can uninstall the App at any time.
14. Device Compatibility Disclaimer
TV Remote is intended to work with compatible devices that support infrared remote-control signals.
A smartphone must have a compatible built-in IR transmitter for physical infrared control. Devices without suitable IR hardware cannot transmit infrared commands to physical equipment.
Compatibility may vary depending on the smartphone model, target device, manufacturer, and available infrared codes.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, our data practices, or applicable laws.
Any updated version will be published with a revised "Last Updated" date.
