Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

IchnosTV is built around a simple idea: your data belongs to you. This policy explains what information the app uses, where it is stored, and who can see it. In short — IchnosTV has no servers of its own, and your watch history is stored only in the personal cloud account you choose to sign in with.

Who we are

“IchnosTV”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the developer of the IchnosTV mobile and desktop applications and this website (ichnos.tv).

The short version

  • We do not operate any database or backend that stores your data.
  • Your library (the shows and episodes you track) is saved to a private, app-only folder in your own Microsoft OneDrive, Apple iCloud, or Google Drive.
  • We do not sell your data, show ads, or build advertising profiles.
  • Sign-in is handled by Microsoft, Apple, or Google — we never see your password.

Information the app uses

Depending on the sign-in method you choose, the app works with:

  • Account identity. When you sign in with Microsoft, Apple, or Google, the app receives a token and basic profile information (such as your name or email) so it can access your cloud storage. This stays on your device and in your identity provider — it is not sent to us.
  • Your tracking library. The shows you add and the episodes you mark as watched are stored as a single private file in your cloud account's app folder. Only your signed-in devices can read it.
  • On-device cache. Show details, descriptions, cast information, and images are cached locally on your device so the app works offline. This cache lives only on your device.

Where your data is stored

Your library is stored exclusively in the cloud account you sign in with:

  • Microsoft → a private application folder in your OneDrive.
  • Apple → your iCloud (used only on iOS).
  • Google → a hidden application-data folder in your Google Drive (used only on Android).

These folders are scoped so that IchnosTV can only access data it created. We receive no copy of this data and cannot access your cloud account.

Third-party services

  • The Movie Database (TMDB). Series, season, and episode information and artwork are provided by TMDB. When you browse or search, requests are made to TMDB's API. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. See the TMDB Privacy Policy.
  • IMDb. Cast, creator, and title entries may link out to IMDb. Opening a link takes you to IMDb, which has its own privacy policy.
  • Identity & storage providers. Microsoft, Apple, and Google handle authentication and host your data under their own privacy policies.

What we do not do

  • We do not run analytics servers that profile you.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information.
  • We do not serve advertising.

Deleting your data

Because your data lives in your own cloud, you are always in control. You can remove shows in the app, sign out to stop syncing, or delete the IchnosTV app folder directly from your OneDrive, iCloud, or Google Drive at any time. Uninstalling the app removes the local on-device cache.

Children's privacy

IchnosTV is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country) and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “Last updated” date.
