Privacy Policy
Last updated 2 August 2026 · modernplayer.tv
The short version
Modern Player has no accounts, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. We never record what you watch — not a channel, not a film, not a minute of history.
If you use this website to send a playlist to your television, we keep the connection details you entered so that your device can load them. They are encrypted, they are used for nothing else, they are never sold or shared, and you can delete them yourself at any time.
1. Who we are
Modern Player ("the app", "we") is developed and published by Modern Player. For anything in this policy, write to [email protected].
2. What we collect
The app has no registration, no user accounts, no tracking pixels, no advertising identifiers and no analytics software of any kind. There is no profile of you anywhere in this system, because nothing here builds one.
We never collect, and have no way to collect, anything about what you watch. Not which channels are in your playlist, not which ones you opened, not what you played or for how long. Video is fetched by your device straight from your provider and does not pass through us.
Two things are held on our servers, and only these two:
- Your device identifier — the code the app shows on screen, plus the platform it runs on. This is how a licence is attached to a device. It is not a name, an email or a person.
- Playlist connection details, if you send them from this website — described in full in section 4.
3. What stays on your device and is never sent to us
All of the following is saved on the device you are using and is never transmitted to us in any form:
- Everything about what you watch — your favourites, watch history and playback positions
- The channels, films and series in your playlist
- Preferences such as language, subtitle appearance and playback engine
- Your parental control PIN, if you set one
- Playlist details you type directly into the app, rather than sending them from this website
Deleting the app removes all of it. Removing a playlist inside the app removes everything associated with that playlist, including its history.
4. Playlists sent from this website
The Connect Device page exists so you can type your playlist on a real keyboard instead of a remote control. To make that work, we have to hold what you entered until your television collects it — and, so that it keeps working after a reinstall, for as long as you leave it there.
What is kept
- For an Xtream account: the server address, username and password
- For an M3U link or a single stream: the address
- For an uploaded file: the contents of that file
- A nickname, if you gave one, and the hostname on its own
Why, and nothing else
Solely so that the Modern Player app on your own registered device can load the playlist you asked it to load. It is used for no other purpose whatsoever. We do not sell it, rent it, licence it, advertise against it, analyse it, or share it with any third party — and we will not, except where a law obliges us to, in which case we would comply only to the extent required.
How it is protected
- Everything you enter travels to us over HTTPS, and the website refuses to load over anything else.
- It is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is written down. The database holds only the ciphertext; the key is held separately and is never in the database, in the website, or in the app.
- Reading it back requires a secret token held only by your device. Your device identifier on its own returns nothing — it is a name printed on a television screen, and we treat it as one.
- Our administration panel cannot decrypt it. There is no such function and no such button. Support can see the provider's hostname and nothing more.
How long, and how to remove it
It is kept until you remove it. Open Connect Device, enter your device identifier, and press Remove next to any playlist — it is deleted immediately and completely. Saving a new playlist over an old one destroys the old one.
You never have to use this page at all. You can type your playlist directly into the app instead, in which case nothing about it ever reaches us.
5. Who your device talks to
When you add a playlist, your device communicates directly with the provider whose address you entered, in order to load channels and play video. That connection is between you and them. We are not part of it, we cannot see it, and we never receive a copy of anything in it.
Your provider may keep its own records of what you watch and when. What they collect is governed by their policy, not ours.
6. Purchases on phones and tablets
Subscriptions and one-time purchases inside the app are processed entirely by the app store you downloaded from — Apple or Google. We never see your name, address, card number or any other payment detail. The store tells the app only whether a purchase is active.
7. Television licences bought on this website
If you buy a licence for a television on this site, we process only what is needed to deliver it:
- the six-character code shown by your device, and the platform it runs on
- an email address, so we can send the receipt and reach you about that licence
The payment itself is handled by our payment provider. Card details go to them and never pass through us. We keep the record of your purchase for as long as the licence is valid, and for as long afterwards as tax law requires. We do not use your email for marketing unless you ask us to.
Moving a licence to another device
When you move a licence with its invoice number — on the television or on this site — we record the invoice number, the device it left, the device it moved to, where it was done (television, website or our support), the time, and a one-way fingerprint of your network address. The fingerprint cannot be turned back into the address; it only lets us stop someone guessing invoice numbers. A completed move is kept with the licence's history; a refused attempt is deleted after 90 days. Nothing about what you watch is part of it.
8. Crash reports
If you have chosen to share crash and usage data with developers in your device settings, the platform may send us anonymous crash reports. These describe what the app was doing when it stopped working. They contain no personal data and no playlist details, and you can turn them off at any time in your device's privacy settings.
9. This website
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security and to keep the site running. We set no cookies of our own and run no analytics.
10. Children
The app is rated 17+ and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from a child, and we hold no information that would identify anybody as one.
11. Your rights
Data protection law gives you the right to access, correct, export and delete personal data held about you, and to object to how it is used.
For a playlist you sent from this website, you do not need to ask us. Open Connect Device, enter your device identifier and press Remove. It is gone at once.
For anything else — a licence, an order, an email address — write to [email protected] and we will produce or erase what we hold, subject to the records tax law requires us to keep. We answer within thirty days.
For the app used on its own, without this website, we hold nothing about you: everything is on your device and under your control.
12. Changes
If this policy changes, the revised version appears on this page with a new date at the top. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the revised policy.
