Privacy Policy

Skylark TV ("the App", "we", "us", "our"), operated by Tranquil Mind Technology JSC, respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights you have. By using the App, you agree to this Policy.

Skylark TV is a media player for IPTV playlists: you add your own M3U / M3U8 or Xtream Codes playlists and watch live TV, movies and series, with an EPG guide, Chromecast, and parental controls. You do not need to create an account with us to use the App. Skylark TV does not provide, host, or sell any channels or content — everything you watch comes from playlists you add yourself.

1. Information We Collect

We do not ask you to register an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or contacts. We collect only the following, and only what actually leaves your device:

Collected automatically (via the third-party services in Section 3)

• Device and advertising identifiers — e.g. the Android Advertising ID (AAID) and app-instance identifiers, used for advertising, attribution, and analytics.
• Approximate location — coarse, IP-address-derived location (not GPS). The App does not request or use precise/GPS location and holds no location permission.
• App activity — in-app events and interactions (for example screens viewed and features used), used for analytics.
• Crash logs and diagnostics — crash traces, device model, OS version, and performance data to help us fix problems.

Information you provide / that stays on your device

• Playlists and player settings — the M3U/Xtream playlist URLs, Xtream username/password, favorites, watch history, collections, and your parental-control PIN are stored locally on your device. Your Xtream credentials are sent only to the IPTV provider you choose in order to load your playlist; we do not receive, store, or transmit them to our servers. The parental-control PIN is stored as a one-way hash on your device.

We do not knowingly collect photos, camera input, microphone input, contacts, or precise location.

2. How We Use Information

• Provide and operate the App — core features run on-device; remote configuration keeps the App's settings up to date.
• Advertising and measurement — to serve ads (which fund the free App) and measure ad performance and install attribution.
• Analytics and improvement — to understand how the App is used and improve features and stability.
• Fraud prevention, security and compliance — to detect invalid ad traffic and abuse.
• Legal compliance — to comply with applicable laws and enforce our terms.

3. Third-Party Services

The following third-party services are integrated in the App and may collect the data described in Section 1.2 under their own privacy policies:

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties and recommend reviewing their policies. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. Information is shared only:

• With the ad, analytics, and attribution partners listed in Section 3, to the extent described above. Under some U.S. state privacy laws (for example the CPRA), the transfer of identifiers to advertising partners for personalized ads may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" — Section 7 explains how to opt out.
• For legal reasons, if required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
• In a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, in which case this Policy will continue to apply to previously collected data.

5. Legal Bases (EEA/UK — GDPR)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on:

• Consent — for personalized advertising and, where required, analytics. You may withdraw consent at any time via the in-app consent dialog or system settings.
• Legitimate interests — for core App operation, security, fraud prevention, non-personalized advertising, and improvement, balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligation — where processing is required by law.

6. Data Retention

We do not operate our own servers and keep no user database. Our third-party partners retain the data they collect for the periods stated in their own policies (for example, Google Analytics for Firebase retains user-level data for up to 14 months; crash logs are retained for around 90 days). Data processed on your device (Section 1.1) remains until you clear the App's data or uninstall the App.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (GDPR/UK GDPR); or to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the "sale"/"sharing" of personal information and targeted advertising without discrimination (CCPA/CPRA and similar U.S. state laws); or equivalent rights under other laws (LGPD, PIPEDA, and others).

To exercise any right, email contact@tranquilmind.co. Because the App has no accounts, please include your Android Advertising ID (Settings → Google → Ads) and device model so we and our partners can locate data associated with your device. You can also act directly on your device: reset your Advertising ID, opt out of ads personalization, use the in-app consent dialog, or clear the App's data.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for users aged 18 or older and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us at contact@tranquilmind.co and we will work with our partners to delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

Our ad and analytics partners may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, transfers are protected by safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms maintained by those partners.

10. Data Security

Data transmitted by the SDKs described above is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. We and our partners apply reasonable technical and organizational measures; however, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

11. Third-Party Apps, Content and Links

The App displays ads and may contain links that lead to third-party websites, apps, or services. It also plays streams and program-guide (EPG) data from the sources described in Section 1.4, and can hand a stream off to an external player you have installed (for example VLC or MX Player). Those services and sources are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them. Skylark TV is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by any third-party brands, providers, or channels referenced in or added to the App.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted in the App or on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
