Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information for the WifiOTT mobile application (the "App") and this website (the "Site"). WifiOTT is designed for local, private media streaming on your network. We built it with privacy by design.

Summary

The App: What We Do Not Collect

The WifiOTT App is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect any personal data from the App. Specifically, we do not collect:

• •Account details, names, email addresses, or phone numbers
• •Identifiers, advertising IDs, or analytics data
• •Crash reports or device diagnostics sent to us
• •Media metadata, viewing history, or playback information transmitted to us

Processing That Happens Locally (On Your Device)

To make WifiOTT work, some processing happens only on your device and/or within your local network. No data from this processing is sent to us:

• •Discovery and communication with local devices (e.g., DLNA/UPnP-capable players)
• •Indexing local media files to display them in the App
• •Playback and transcoding tasks required for streaming within your network

Permissions Used by the App and Why

The App requests the following permissions for core functionality only:

• •Local network / Wi‑Fi access: to discover and stream to devices on your network and to serve content locally.
• •Storage/Media access: to read media files you explicitly select or store on your device.
• •Network state: to ensure streaming works and to adapt to connectivity changes.

You can revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.

The Website: Analytics and Data Collection

Unlike the App, this website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the site and to improve your experience. Here's what we collect:

Cookies, Local Storage, and Logs

• •The App: Uses no cookies or trackers.
• •The Site: We may store a basic, non-identifying preference (such as theme or consent status) in your browser's local storage.
• •Server logs: Our hosting provider may process transient server logs (e.g., IP address, user agent, request metadata) to deliver the Site and protect against abuse. We do not use these logs to identify you.

Third-Party Services

• •Google Play: When installing from Google Play, Google may process data in accordance with its own policies. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• •Google Analytics (Website only): Used to track website usage and improve user experience.
• •The App: We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

Children's Privacy

The App and Site are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Data Retention and Deletion

The App: Because the App does not collect personal data, there is nothing for us to retain. Uninstalling the App will remove App data stored on your device.

The Website: Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's policies (typically 26 months). You can clear your browser's local storage at any time via your browser settings.

Legal Bases (GDPR) and Your Rights

The App: We do not process personal data in the App, so GDPR does not apply to App usage.

The Website: For Google Analytics, the legal basis is our legitimate interests in providing a secure, reliable service and understanding user behavior (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR/CCPA (e.g., access, deletion, opt-out). You can opt out of Google Analytics by visiting Google's opt-out page. For other requests, please contact us.
