Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle the information you provide through this webpage. This page is solely intended to facilitate the transfer of your M3U URL or streaming credentials (server URL, username, password) to your Wave IPTV application instance on your TV device via a secure, temporary link.

Information We Collect

When you use this webpage, we collect the following information:

• Streaming Data: Depending on the tab you select, you provide either your full M3U playlist URL or your streaming credentials (Server URL, Username, Password).
• Unique TV ID: This ID is passed in the URL when you scan the QR code from your TV. It is used solely to identify the target Firebase database path for sending your Streaming Data.
• Browser Storage Data: We use your browser's local storage to remember your preferred language and theme (light/dark) settings for this page. This data stays on your device.
• Technical Information (via Firebase): Firebase, the service we use to transmit the data, may automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and access times, as part of providing its service. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more details on Firebase data practices.

We do not collect any other personal information like your name, email address, or location directly through this webpage.

How We Use Your Information

The information you provide is used solely for the following purposes:

• Data Transmission: To securely transmit the M3U URL or the constructed Xtream Codes URL (from credentials) to the designated path in the Firebase Realtime Database associated with your Unique TV ID. Your Wave IPTV application on your TV listens to this specific path to retrieve the data.
• Improving User Experience: To remember your language and theme preferences using local storage.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your submitted M3U URL or credentials to outside parties, except as described below:

• Firebase: We use Firebase Realtime Database (a Google service) as an intermediary to send the data to your TV app. Your data passes through Firebase servers for this purpose.
• Your TV Application: The data is intended solely for your instance of the Wave IPTV application running on your TV.

We do not share your information with advertisers or other third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously.

• This webpage uses HTTPS to encrypt data transmission between your browser and our web server.
• Communication with Firebase is also secured using encryption.
• Crucially, the M3U URL or credentials you submit are never stored on our web server. They are immediately sent to the temporary Firebase database location identified by your Unique TV ID.
• Firebase provides its own security measures for its infrastructure.
• You are responsible for keeping your streaming credentials secure.

Data Retention

We do not retain your submitted M3U URL or credentials on our web servers. The data sent to the specific path in Firebase under your Unique TV ID is temporary. It is intended to be read once by your TV application and may be overwritten upon subsequent submissions or potentially cleared periodically. We do not guarantee retention of this data in Firebase beyond the immediate transmission need.

Your language and theme preferences are stored in your browser's local storage and persist until you clear your browser data.

Children's Privacy

This service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
