Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 10, 2026

Plavio ("the app") is a free, open-source media player for Android. This policy explains what data the app collects and how it is used. In short: your library, settings, and watch history stay on your device.

Data stored on your device

Your installed addons, app settings, watchlist, playback positions, and home-screen cache are stored locally on your device and never sent to us.
Uninstalling the app deletes this data.

Crash reports

The app uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous crash reports (device model, Android version, and the technical details of a crash) so bugs can be fixed. Crash reports contain no media titles, no browsing history, and nothing that identifies you personally.

Analytics

The app uses Firebase Analytics to understand aggregate usage (for example, how many people open the app each day). This data is anonymous and is not sold or shared with advertisers.

Third-party services you choose

Addons: you add streaming addons yourself by pasting their URLs. When the app contacts an addon, that addon's own server sees a normal network request (like any website you visit). Each addon has its own privacy policy — Plavio has no control over them.
Metadata & subtitles: the app fetches posters, details, and subtitles from public services (such as Cinemeta, OpenSubtitles, and subtitle addons you install). These requests contain only the title identifiers needed to fetch the data.

Accounts

Plavio has no user accounts and asks for no name, email, or personal details. Optional Trakt/Simkl sync, if you enable it, is handled directly between the app and those services under their own policies.

Children

Plavio is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
