MADA Player — Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

MADA Player is a personal media and streaming organizer that lets users manage their own authorized media sources, channels, favorites, and playback data. This Privacy Policy explains what information MADA Player may process, why it is used, and the choices available to you.

By using MADA Player, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Process

Depending on the features you use, MADA Player may process the following categories of information:

• Account information such as your email address and account identifier.
• Authentication information used to sign in, including Google Sign-In when you choose it.
• Your media sources and source URLs that you add to the application.
• Channel names, identifiers, logos, groups, metadata, and EPG/XMLTV information associated with your sources.
• Favorites, watchlist items, recently played items, playback position, and related player preferences.
• Cloud-synchronized player data when you use an eligible cloud-sync or Premium feature.
• Technical, diagnostic, crash, performance, and usage information where provided by the services used by the application.

3. How We Use Information

Information may be used to:

• Create and manage your MADA Player account.
• Authenticate your account and maintain account security.
• Store, organize, and play the media sources you choose to add.
• Synchronize supported player data across devices for eligible users.
• Provide Premium features and manage subscription entitlements.
• Provide playback diagnostics, troubleshooting, and technical support.
• Measure application performance and improve features and reliability.
• Protect the application and its users against abuse, fraud, and security threats.

4. Local Storage and Cloud Sync

MADA Player can store application settings and player information locally on your device. Depending on the feature and your account status, some player data may also be stored in cloud services to provide backup or synchronization between supported devices.

Cloud storage is limited to data needed to provide the applicable player, synchronization, account, and Premium features.

5. Advertising

The free version of MADA Player may display advertisements through Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). Depending on your device, consent choices, and the advertising configuration available in your region, advertising services may process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, approximate technical information, and ad interaction data.

Where applicable, consent and privacy choices for personalized advertising are presented through the mechanisms provided by Google. Premium users may receive an ad-free experience as described in the application.

6. Analytics and Diagnostics

MADA Player may use Firebase Analytics and related Firebase services to understand application usage, measure performance, diagnose problems, and improve the service. Diagnostic information may include technical details about the device, application version, events, and errors.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

MADA Player may offer Premium subscriptions through Google Play and, where supported, other official platform billing services. Payment processing is handled by the applicable platform provider. We do not need to receive or store your full payment card number to provide the subscription feature.

We may process subscription-related information such as product identifiers, purchase or transaction identifiers, subscription status, and entitlement information when required to provide Premium features and maintain your account entitlement.

8. Third-Party Services

MADA Player uses third-party services to provide specific features. These may include Firebase Authentication, Firebase/Firestore, Firebase Analytics, Google Sign-In, Google Mobile Ads, Google Play services and billing, and casting or platform services such as Chromecast or AirPlay where supported.

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. MADA Player does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party services.

9. User-Provided Sources and Third-Party Content

MADA Player allows users to add their own authorized M3U, M3U8, HLS, and other supported media sources. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to access and use any source or content you add.

MADA Player does not provide a catalog of pirated channels or unauthorized streaming lists. Content accessed through a user-provided source may be controlled by a third party and may be subject to that provider's terms and privacy practices.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Data Retention

We retain account and cloud data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce applicable agreements. Local data can remain on your device until you remove it or uninstall/reset the application.

12. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your MADA Player account and associated account data. Instructions and the web-based deletion request option are available on our Account Deletion page.

Some information may need to be retained for a limited period when required for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or financial and transaction records.

13. Subscription Cancellation

Deleting your MADA Player account does not necessarily cancel a subscription purchased through Google Play or another platform. Subscription cancellation must be completed through the applicable platform's subscription controls.

14. Children's Privacy

MADA Player is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

15. Your Choices

• You can manage your account and sign-in choices in the application.
• You can control available advertising and privacy consent choices through the provided privacy controls.
• You can remove locally stored player data through the application or your device settings.
• You can request deletion of your account and associated cloud data.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
