Welcome to IPTVTools.io (the "Website," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you access or use our Website, including any membership, subscription, or downloadable content we offer (collectively, the "Services").
By using the Website, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the Website.
1. Who We Are
IPTVTools.io is an independent software development and documentation platform operated by an individual. We develop and distribute software tools, panels, and educational content related to IPTV and streaming technologies.

2. What Data We Collect
We collect the absolute minimum amount of personal data necessary to operate our Services.
2.1 Account Registration
When you create a free or premium account, we collect:
- Your email address — used solely for account creation, login, and essential service communications.
- A display name of your choosing — this can be anything you want, including a pseudonym. We do not require your real name.
We do not collect your full name, physical address, phone number, date of birth, identity documents, payment card details, or bank account information.
2.2 Payment Information
All payments for premium subscriptions or products are made exclusively in cryptocurrency. We do not process, store, or have access to any card or bank data. Cryptocurrency transactions are handled externally and are by their nature pseudonymous. We retain only a record that a payment was received, its amount, and the associated account — not any wallet address or transaction detail beyond what is necessary for account activation.

Like all websites, our servers and security infrastructure may automatically process certain technical data when you visit the Website, including:
- IP address

This data is processed by our infrastructure providers (see Section 5) for security and performance purposes. We do not use this data to identify or profile individual users.
2.4 Newsletter and Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address for the purpose of sending you content updates. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.

We do not use your data for advertising, behavioral profiling, automated decision-making, or any purpose beyond those listed above.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary:
- Account data (email, display name): Retained for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, your data is removed promptly.
- Newsletter subscription: Retained until you unsubscribe or request removal.
- Technical/security logs: Retained for a short period as determined by our infrastructure providers (typically 7–30 days) for security purposes.
We do not retain activity logs, browsing histories, or behavioral data beyond what is strictly necessary for security operations.
5. Third-Party Services and Data Processors
To operate the Website securely and reliably, we use the following third-party services that may process your data on our behalf:

We do not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal data with any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes.
6. Cookies

No system is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority as required by law.
9. Children's Privacy
Our Website and Services are not directed at persons under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. International Data Transfers
Our Website is operated under European Union law. If you access the Website from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Where we rely on third-party processors located outside the EEA (such as Cloudflare and Imperva, which are US-based), we rely on applicable transfer mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify users via email or a prominent notice on the Website. Your continued use of the Website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
