IronTV — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 July 2026

IronTV ("the app") is a media player for Xtream Codes IPTV services. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information. In short: the developer of IronTV never collects, receives, or shares any of your data. The app itself transmits data only to services you choose — your IPTV provider, the public sample-stream hosts while you use sample mode, and optionally your own iCloud account — exactly as described below.

Information the app handles

To connect to your IPTV provider, IronTV needs the playlist URL you paste in Settings, which contains your provider's server address and your username and password. This information is:

• stored only on your device, in the system Keychain;
• optionally synchronized across your own Apple devices through your private iCloud Keychain and iCloud key-value storage, under your Apple ID — a channel operated by Apple, not by us;
• sent only to the IPTV server you configured, in order to load channels and play streams.

The developer of IronTV never receives, sees, or stores these credentials.

Information we do not collect

IronTV contains no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party data-collection SDKs. We do not operate any server that receives data from the app. We do not collect your name, email, location, device identifiers, usage statistics, or viewing activity.

Network connections

The app never contacts any service operated by the developer. Depending on how you use it, it connects to:

• Your IPTV provider — the server you enter, for the channel list, stream playback, and any channel icon or stream URL that server hands out, which may point at your provider's own CDN hosts. This traffic is governed by your provider's privacy policy. When your provider only offers plain http://, the app asks for explicit confirmation before sending your credentials, and prefers an HTTPS endpoint whenever the same server answers on one.
• Sample-stream hosts — only while you use the built-in sample mode (no account configured), the app plays public test streams from Apple (devstreaming-cdn.apple.com), Mux (test-streams.mux.dev) and Unified Streaming (demo.unified-streaming.com). No account credentials are sent — no account exists in this mode. Like any web request, these hosts receive ordinary connection metadata such as your IP address, the player's user agent, and request timing.
• Apple iCloud — optionally, your credentials sync through your private iCloud Keychain and your preferences (favorites, last channel, playback settings) through iCloud key-value storage, both under your Apple ID on infrastructure operated by Apple, not by us.

Content

IronTV does not provide, host, or distribute any channels or content. It is a player for a service you supply. You are responsible for the service you connect to and for holding the rights to what you watch.

Children

IronTV is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "last updated" date.
