description About This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use VertiPlay. In this policy, “VertiPlay,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the VertiPlay mobile application and its developer, Mikael Tenshio.

VertiPlay is a playlist player. We let you import an M3U or M3U8 file from your device or add a playlist URL, then browse and play the channels contained in that playlist. We do not operate an IPTV service and we do not provide channels, subscriptions, credentials, hosted playlists, or streaming content.

database Information We Keep on Your Device

We store the information needed to make VertiPlay work primarily on your device. This may include playlist names and source references, playlist URLs you add, parsed channel names and groups, channel-logo and stream URLs, favorites, recently watched channels, your last-played channel, and app preferences such as theme and playback settings.

For remote playlists, we may keep a local copy of parsed playlist information so the playlist can reopen more quickly. We do not upload this local app state to a Tenshio account or developer-operated cloud database.

A playlist URL can sometimes contain a username, token, key, or other credential. If your provider uses credentials inside a URL, treat that URL as sensitive information and do not share it with people you do not trust.

playlist_play Playlist Files, URLs, and Streams

When you choose a local playlist, we use Android's system file picker to access the file you selected. We do not need broad access to all files on your device for this feature. The original playlist file remains in the storage location you chose and is not owned or hosted by VertiPlay.

When you add a remote playlist or play a channel, your device connects directly to the playlist, logo, or stream address contained in your source. We do not proxy those requests through a Tenshio streaming server. The third-party host may receive information that is ordinarily transmitted with an internet connection, such as your IP address, and may keep its own server logs under its own privacy practices.

We support user-provided network sources. If a source uses unencrypted HTTP instead of HTTPS, the connection may not be encrypted in transit. We do not control the security, availability, or privacy practices of playlist providers, stream hosts, logo hosts, or other third-party servers you choose to contact through VertiPlay.

analytics Information We Do Not Collect

VertiPlay does not currently include a Tenshio analytics service, advertising SDK, crash-reporting SDK, user account system, or developer-operated tracking server. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your playlist activity for behavioral advertising.

Google Play, Android, your device manufacturer, your internet provider, and the external services you choose to connect to may process information independently of us. Their handling of information is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

data_exploration Permissions and Device Features

We request only the Android capabilities needed for VertiPlay's playback features:

• Internet — to load remote playlists, channel logos, and streams that you choose.
• Network state — to respond appropriately when network playback is unavailable.
• Wake lock — to help maintain playback when appropriate.
• Foreground service / media playback — to support background playback and Android media controls.

We do not require camera, microphone, contacts, SMS, call-log, or precise-location permission for VertiPlay's core functionality.

delete Retention, Deletion, and Android Backup

We keep local app data for as long as it remains useful to your VertiPlay setup. You can remove playlists from VertiPlay, clear recent activity where the app provides that option, reset app settings, clear VertiPlay's storage through Android settings, or uninstall the app.

Removing VertiPlay does not delete the original playlist files you selected from storage outside the app. Those files remain under the control of the storage provider or location where you saved them.

VertiPlay currently participates in Android's backup and device-transfer features. Depending on your device, Android version, Google account, manufacturer, and backup settings, eligible local VertiPlay data may be backed up or transferred by the operating system and may later be restored. We do not operate that backup service and we do not receive or have access to your Android backup.

child_care Children's Privacy

VertiPlay is not designed or directed specifically to children under 13. We do not provide account registration and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through a developer-operated account, analytics, or advertising service.

mail Changes and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy when VertiPlay's features, permissions, third-party integrations, or data-handling practices change. When we make a material update, we will revise the effective date shown on this page.

Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Use govern your use of VertiPlay. By installing, opening, or using VertiPlay, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

In these Terms, “VertiPlay,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the VertiPlay mobile application and its developer, Mikael Tenshio.

What We Provide

We provide VertiPlay as a software player that lets you open and play compatible playlist sources that you supply. We do not provide an IPTV subscription, television service, channel package, playlist credentials, or a catalog of streaming content.

You may use VertiPlay for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may not misuse the app, interfere with its operation, attempt to bypass security measures, or use VertiPlay in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of another person or entity.

Your Playlists and Content

You choose the playlist files, playlist URLs, stream addresses, logos, and other sources that VertiPlay opens. You are responsible for ensuring that you are authorized to access, receive, and play that content.

We do not grant you rights to third-party television channels, films, broadcasts, logos, trademarks, or other media merely because VertiPlay is technically capable of opening a source. Do not use VertiPlay to access or distribute content in violation of copyright, licensing terms, access controls, or other applicable rights.

Third-Party Sources and Playback

VertiPlay depends on the playlist and network sources you choose. We do not control those third-party services. A channel or playlist may buffer, change, become unavailable, reject access, use an unsupported format, or stop working for reasons outside VertiPlay.

Your mobile carrier or internet provider may charge you for data used while loading or streaming content. You are responsible for those charges and for complying with any terms imposed by the source you use.

Background Playback and Device Use

We may allow audio or media playback to continue in the background when you enable or use that feature. Android may display media controls or a foreground playback notification. You are responsible for using VertiPlay safely, including avoiding distracted use while driving or in any situation where media playback could create a safety risk.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

We provide VertiPlay on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we make no guarantee that every playlist, stream, codec, device, network, or third-party source will work continuously or without error.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses caused by third-party content or services, unavailable or defective streams, playlist errors, network interruptions, provider restrictions, data charges, unsupported media, or the loss of local app data. Nothing in these Terms excludes any right or liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

VertiPlay Intellectual Property

We retain our rights in VertiPlay's original software, interface, branding, logo, and other materials we create, subject to any third-party or open-source rights that apply to included components. These Terms do not transfer ownership of VertiPlay to you.

Third-party channel names, logos, trademarks, media, and streams remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance in a playlist you supply does not imply sponsorship, affiliation, endorsement, or ownership by VertiPlay.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when VertiPlay changes or when legal or operational requirements make an update appropriate. The current version will be posted on this page with its effective date. Your continued use of VertiPlay after updated Terms take effect means you accept the revised Terms, except where applicable law requires a different form of notice or consent.
