Privacy policy

Last updated: 21 October 2026

HOT PLAYER 4K is a video player. It does not sell, provide or host any channels, films or series. This policy explains what the app keeps on your device and what it sends to our server.

What stays on your device

Your playlists: Xtream Codes server, username and password, M3U links and imported files. They are stored encrypted on your device and are never sent to us, unless you choose to send a playlist from our website (see below).
Favorites, recently watched, where you stopped a film, your language and settings.
The video streams go directly between your device and your own provider. We never see them.

What is sent to our server

To run the free trial and the license, the app sends:

a device code made from your device's ID with a one-way hash (we cannot get your device ID back from it);
the kind of device (Android phone, Android TV, iPhone) and the app version;
your license code when you activate one.

The server keeps the dates of the first and last check, the end of the trial, and which device a license is active on. When you activate through WhatsApp, the owner may add a short note (for example your name or the payment) to your activation.

We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics. We do not sell or share your data. Our hosting provider (Supabase, servers in the European Union) may keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, for a short time for security.

Sending a playlist from our website

If you use "Upload your playlist" on our website, the playlist is encrypted in your browser with a key that only your device has. Our server only passes on the encrypted box: it cannot read it, and it deletes it as soon as your device receives it, or after 24 hours. The app shows a 6-digit code for this, which our server keeps only as a one-way hash for 30 minutes.

If you contact us on WhatsApp, we receive your phone number and the messages you send, including your Device ID. We use them only to activate your device and to help you.

How long we keep data

License and device records are kept while the license exists, so that it keeps working. You can ask us to delete your records; the app will then show the trial or activation screen again.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data at any time through the WhatsApp support button in the app.

Children

The app is not made for children under 13. Adult categories can be locked with a PIN in Settings.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be in the app with a new date.
