Privacy Policy

Effective October 26, 2026

This policy explains how TV Remote: Universal TV Remote Control (“TV Remote”) handles information. TV Remote is operated by its app publisher. Questions and privacy requests may be sent to remote@otipu.com.

Information handled on your device

TV Remote uses local-network service names, TV names, local IP addresses, ports, device models and hardware addresses to find, identify, wake and control TVs. Selected names, rooms, favorites, routines, timer deadlines, layout choices and app preferences are stored on your device.

Pairing credentials and keyboard text

Pairing tokens, client keys and pinned TV certificates are stored using iOS Keychain or Android secure storage. Text entered through the app’s Keyboard feature is sent directly to the selected TV over your local network and is not retained by TV Remote after the session.

Advertising

The app displays banner and native ads through Google AdMob. Google and its partners may process IP addresses, device identifiers, ad interactions and diagnostic information to serve, measure and protect ads, subject to your consent choices where required. The app requests consent information when it opens and offers an ad privacy choices entry in Settings where required. Your saved TV names, pairing credentials and remote commands are not sent to AdMob. See Google’s Privacy Policy for more information. This website has no advertising or analytics and sets no cookies.

Local network and third-party devices

Discovery, pairing, wake requests and remote commands travel between your phone and devices on your local network. Your TV, router and TV platform may process that traffic under their own software and privacy terms. TV Remote is not affiliated with those providers.

Retention and deletion

Local settings remain until you remove them, clear app data or uninstall. Remove a TV inside Devices to delete its saved pairing credential. iOS Keychain items may survive uninstall under Apple system behavior, so remove saved TVs before uninstall if you want pairing credentials deleted first.

Children and security

TV Remote is a general utility and is not designed to collect personal information from children or adults. No network method is perfectly secure; keep your phone, TV and home network updated and protected.

Changes

Material changes will appear in an app update or on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised policy applies.
