Privacy Policy — Stario
Stario: IPTV & Xtream Player • Last Updated: October 2026
🛡️ 1. Privacy Commitment & Zero Telemetry
We place the highest priority on your privacy. Stario: IPTV & Xtream Player is engineered as a private, standalone media playback client. We do not collect, track, log, sell, or share any personal identity information, viewing history, or account credentials with anyone.
🔒 2. On-Device Encrypted Storage
All data you input into the app—including M3U playlist URLs, Xtream Codes credentials (server URL, username, password), favorite channels, and playback progress—is stored strictly and locally on your iOS device within Apple's hardware-encrypted Keychain and secure sandboxed container. This data is never transmitted to us or any external servers.
🌐 3. Direct Streaming Connection
When streaming live television channels, movies, or series, Stario establishes a direct, peer-to-host network connection between your iOS device and the streaming server you have configured. No video streams, media packets, or playback telemetry are routed through intermediary servers under our control.
🚫 4. No Third-Party Trackers, SDKs, or Ads
Stario contains no third-party analytics SDKs (e.g., Google Firebase, Facebook SDK) and no advertising networks. We do not track your activity across other apps or websites, in strict compliance with Apple App Store Review Guidelines.
🗑️ 5. User Control & Complete Data Deletion
Because all information resides exclusively on your local device, you maintain full sovereignty over your data. You can delete playlists or Xtream accounts directly from the app's settings at any time. Uninstalling the application permanently purges all local cached data and credentials.
👶 6. Children's Privacy
Stario does not collect any personal data from anyone, including children under the age of 13, and is fully compliant with COPPA and international child privacy regulations.
