Welcome to TheTVApp at https://the-tv-app.us/. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit or use our website. Your privacy matters to us. By using TheTVApp, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].

Who We Are

TheTVApp is a free online streaming platform that helps users find and watch live TV channels through a simple browser-based interface. Our website address is https://the-tv-app.us/. This Privacy Policy applies to all activity on our site.

Information We Collect

We collect limited information to keep the site running and improve the experience.

Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the details you enter in the form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps with spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Once approved, your profile picture may appear publicly with your comment.

Media
If you upload images, avoid including location data such as EXIF GPS. Visitors can download images and extract any embedded location information.

Account Information
If you create an account or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and any other details you provide. Message content from direct contact is also received.

Log Files
Like most websites, we use log files. These may include your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time stamps, and pages visited. This data helps us understand site usage, manage the platform, and improve performance. It is not linked to personally identifiable information.
