Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 October 2026

Fjord Player is a video player for playlists and streaming accounts you provide yourself. It has no accounts of its own, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking of any kind.

What the app stores

Fjord saves the following in the app's local storage on your device:

• The playlists and provider accounts you add (including any usernames and passwords they contain)
• Your favorites, playback positions, profiles and app settings
• On iPhone, iPad and Mac, videos you choose to download for offline viewing

The developer does not receive this data. The app contacts your provider and the services described below to load your content and its metadata. On iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, deleting the app removes its local data from that device. On a Mac, moving the app to the Trash can leave that data behind, in the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.even.fjordiptv, until you remove it yourself.

"Sync with my other devices" also stores your playlists, provider logins, profiles, favorites and viewing progress in your own iCloud account, so they can be shared between your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Sync is on by default for new installations. On a device that already had saved Fjord data before sync was introduced, it stays off until you turn it on. Apple stores the synced data under your Apple Account; the developer cannot access it. You can turn sync off in Settings to stop further syncing. Turning it off or deleting the app does not by itself remove data that was previously synced to iCloud. Downloaded videos stay on the device and are not included in iCloud sync.

Network connections the app makes

The app uses these services for its features:

1. Your own IPTV provider, to load the playlists, TV guide and video streams you configured. What that provider logs is governed by the provider's own privacy policy.
2. The Movie Database (TMDb, themoviedb.org), to fetch artwork and descriptions for movies and shows. It sends public title information or catalogue identifiers to find a match, but no Fjord login or provider credentials. See TMDb's privacy policy at themoviedb.org/privacy-policy.
3. TMDb's image server (image.tmdb.org), to download the artwork itself.
4. TheIntroDB (api.theintrodb.org), to look up where an episode's intro and end credits begin, which is what the "Skip intro" and "Next episode" prompts are based on. What is sent is the episode's public catalogue numbers: a TMDb id, a season number and an episode number. No account, device or user identifier is sent, and the app contacts them not at all if you turn skip prompts off in Settings > Playback.
5. Whichever server your playlist names for artwork. A playlist can give each channel a logo or poster URL, and the app loads it from wherever that URL points. Those addresses come from your provider, not from us.
6. Apple's iCloud, while "Sync with my other devices" is on, to keep the information described above in your own iCloud account. Apple runs this service under your Apple Account; the developer has no access to it.

The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.

Data collection summary (App Store label)

Data not collected. The developer does not collect any data from this app.

Your content, your responsibility

Fjord Player ships with no channels, movies or shows. It only plays content from sources you add yourself. You are responsible for having the right to view the content your playlists provide.
