Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information the Strong 8K application (“the app”, “we”, “us”) and the website strong8k.support handle when you use them, why, and the choices you have. By using the app you agree to this policy.

1. Information we handle

a. Information you provide

• Your playlist / provider login — the Xtream host, username and password, or the M3U URL you enter. You add these on your own phone via the sign-in page; they are delivered once, over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, to your device and are stored on your device so you don’t have to retype them. We use them only to fetch the playlist you requested from your provider. We do not sell or share them.

b. Information collected automatically

• Device identifier — a random key generated for your install, used to register the device, deliver your sign-in, and (optionally) sync your settings.
• Device & app information — device manufacturer and model, Android version, and the app version. Used for compatibility and crash diagnostics.
• IP address & approximate (country-level) location — your IP address is seen by our server when the app connects. We send it once to a geolocation service (ip-api.com) to resolve the country only, which helps us provide regional support and detect abuse. We store the country code; we do not track your precise location.
• Diagnostics / crash logs — if the app crashes it may send the error (stack trace) plus the device/app information above so we can fix bugs.

c. Optional features you can turn on

• Phone remote control — if you link the app to the phone dashboard, the app reports a “now playing” snapshot (e.g. the channel or title currently open) and an online/offline status so your phone can control it. This stops when you stop using the feature.
• Cloud sync — if enabled, your favourites, “continue watching” points and in-app display settings are synced (keyed to your playlist username) so they follow you between devices.

We do not use advertising SDKs, we do not sell your data, and we do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

2. Why we use it

3. Sharing

We share data only as needed to run the service:

• Your IPTV/playlist provider — the app connects directly to the host you entered to fetch your content. Their handling of your data is governed by their privacy policy.
• Geolocation service (ip-api.com) — receives your IP address to return a country code.
• Hosting — our server (strong8k.support) stores the limited data above.

We do not sell personal data and do not transfer it to third parties for their own marketing.

4. Retention

Login details you enter live on your device and are removed when you log out or uninstall. Server-side records (device registration, optional sync data, rotating crash logs) are kept only as long as needed for the service and are deleted on request — see Account & Data Deletion.

5. Security

All app↔server communication uses HTTPS. We keep data to the minimum needed and restrict access.

6. Children

The app is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

7. Your choices

• Log out to remove your stored login from the device.
• Leave cloud sync / phone remote control off to avoid sending that data.
• Request deletion of any server-side data at any time (see below).

8. Changes

We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change and material updates will be posted here.
