Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-15

TvOptimizer ("we", "the app") is a tool that helps you optimize your Amazon Fire TV. This policy explains what data we touch, what we keep, and what we share.

Short version

We collect nothing. Everything happens on your iPhone and your TV, over your local Wi-Fi network. No server in the middle, no analytics, no advertising IDs.

What stays on your device

• RSA authentication key — generated the first time you connect to a TV. Stored in iOS Keychain, never transmitted anywhere except to your own TV during the ADB handshake.
• Last connected TV IP address — saved in iOS UserDefaults so the app can auto-reconnect on next launch. Stays on your device.
• Cleanup selections — your preferences (which packages to disable) are remembered across app launches via iOS UserDefaults. Stays on your device.
• Debug log — connection events and ADB handshake steps are written to a file in the app's Documents directory for troubleshooting. Not transmitted anywhere automatically; you can copy and share it with us manually if you want help debugging an issue.

What we send over your local network

• ADB protocol messages between your iPhone and your Fire TV (RSA-signed authentication, then shell commands like pm disable-user, am force-stop, cat /proc/meminfo). All on your local Wi-Fi network, not over the internet.

What we do NOT do

• We do not use IDFA or any advertising identifier.
• We do not use analytics SDKs (Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.).
• We do not transmit your Fire TV's data, IP address, model, or any other information off your device.
• We do not sell or share any data because we don't have any.
• We do not require an account. There is no login and nothing to sign up for.

Telemetry

This version of TvOptimizer has no telemetry at all. There is no opt-in toggle, because there is nothing to opt into: the app never sends a report, and it never contacts a server of ours.

If a future version ever introduces optional diagnostics, it will be off by default, will require you to turn it on explicitly, and this page will be updated to describe exactly what it sends before that version ships.

Children

TvOptimizer is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If we materially change this policy, the "Last updated" date above will reflect that.
