Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how the Samsung TV Remote application ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use it. By installing and using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.
Information We Collect
The App is designed to function with minimal data collection. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the core features.
Information You Provide
- Device pairing data: When you connect to your Samsung TV, the App stores the TV's name, IP address, and pairing token locally on your device to enable reconnection. This information stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
Information Collected Automatically
- Local network information: The App accesses your local Wi-Fi network to discover and communicate with Samsung TVs on the same network. This communication happens directly between your device and your TV.
- App usage and diagnostics: We may collect anonymous, aggregated data such as crash reports and basic usage statistics to improve app stability and performance.
How We Use Information
- To discover and connect to Samsung TVs on your local network.
- To remember previously paired TVs for a faster connection experience.
- To diagnose crashes and improve the reliability and performance of the App.
Permissions
The App may request the following permissions to function correctly:
- Local Network / Wi-Fi access: Required to find and control your Samsung TV.
- Internet access: Used for communicating with your TV over the network and, where applicable, for anonymous diagnostics.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share your data with third parties except:
- When required by law or to respond to valid legal processes.
- With trusted analytics/crash-reporting services that process anonymous diagnostic data on our behalf.
Data Storage and Security
Pairing and connection data is stored locally on your device. We take reasonable measures to protect any information processed by the App. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Services
The App may use third-party services (such as crash-reporting and analytics providers) that collect anonymous information used to operate and improve the App. These services have their own privacy policies governing the use of such data.
Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Your Rights
You can clear locally stored pairing data at any time by clearing the App's data or uninstalling the App. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
