PlaylistTV — Privacy Policy
Effective 14 October 2026
Controller
PlaylistTV is made by Robert Poetzsch (robspace.de), who is the controller responsible for this app within the meaning of the GDPR. Contact: support@robspace.de. The postal address is in the legal notice (Impressum) on this website.
Overview
PlaylistTV collects nothing about you. There is no account with us, no registration, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party analytics or advertising SDK of any kind. This policy is short because there is very little to describe.
What the app stores, and where
PlaylistTV keeps a local copy of the channel line-ups it reads from your server, plus your own playback progress and settings. This lives on your device. If you switch on iCloud sync, that same data is synchronised through your own iCloud account under Apple's terms. It is your iCloud, not ours — we have no access to it and no way to request access.
What the app connects to
- Your Plex Media Server, directly, using the credentials you provide. The app only reads from it. The single exception is the optional setting that marks a finished episode as watched on your server, which is off by default.
- plex.tv, to sign you in and to discover your servers. That is Plex Inc.'s service and is governed by Plex's own privacy policy. PlaylistTV is not affiliated with Plex Inc.
- Apple's iCloud, only if you switch sync on, and only your own account.
The app uses no server operated by us. No data is sent to us, because there is nowhere for it to be sent.
Demo Mode
The built-in demo uses invented channels and a sample clip included with the app. It contacts nothing at all.
Purchases
The full version is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple. We receive Apple's sales reports, which contain no personal information about you.
Children
The app is rated 4+ and collects nothing, so nothing is collected from children either.
This website
This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH on a server in a data centre in Falkenstein, Germany. When you open a page, the web server automatically logs your IP address, the date and time, the requested page or file, the HTTP status, the number of bytes transferred, the referring page (referrer) and your browser’s user agent. These logs are used solely to operate and secure the website; the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure, stable operation). They are deleted automatically after 14 days at the latest, are not analysed and are not passed on unless required by law.
The website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or tracking and embeds no content from third parties. Fonts are served from this server; no connection is made to Google Fonts or other font services.
Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR). Because the app sends the developer no data about you, there is nothing the developer could disclose, correct or delete; questions are still welcome at support@robspace.de. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HBDI).
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the date above changes with it.
