Who we are
StreamNest (shown on your device as "StreamNest IPTV", the "App") is developed and operated by AS3 Labs Global LLP (LLPIN ADC-8582), a limited liability partnership registered in India ("we", "us", "our"). It is a video and IPTV player: it plays the playlists, links and videos you add, and it includes StreamNest Free, a list of free-to-air channels published by the open-source Free-TV project, public-domain films from the Internet Archive and Creative Commons films from the Blender Foundation. We don't host or broadcast any of this content; the App plays it from the publishers' own servers.
Android package name: com.play.live.iptv (phones, tablets and Android TV).
By installing or using the App you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
What stays on your device
- Your playlists and logins: server addresses, playlist and TV-guide links, usernames and passwords. Passwords are encrypted with the Android Keystore and are sent only to the provider server you entered, to load your playlist and play its streams.
- Profiles, favourites, watch history and resume points, channel groups, reminders, scheduled recordings and settings.
- Your recordings and downloads, saved in the App's own folder.
- The App PIN for parental controls and the app lock, stored only as a salted hash, never in readable form.
- Videos on your device: read only after you allow access, to list and play them. They are never uploaded.
We never receive any of this. StreamNest has no account and doesn't use Android's cloud backup, so uninstalling it deletes everything it keeps. A backup file you export from Settings goes only where you save it, and you can choose to leave the passwords out of it.
What the app sends
To the services you add
StreamNest connects to the provider, playlist, TV-guide and stream addresses you add, and to the image addresses (logos, posters) they list. Those services see your IP address and, for logins, your username and password, as with any player. Their own privacy policies apply.
StreamNest Free
The free channels, films and TV guide come from raw.githubusercontent.com (the Free-TV lists), archive.org, epgshare01.online and the hosts of the Blender films. These servers see your IP address and what is requested. To pick your country's channels, the App reads the country of your mobile network or SIM, or your device's language, on the device itself.
Channel logos through an image cache
When a channel logo or poster does not load from its own address (some mobile networks block image hosts), the App fetches it once more through wsrv.nl, an open-source image cache, which receives that image address. Images that load normally, and addresses on your own network, never go there.
Subtitles (OpenSubtitles)
Only when you search for subtitles: the title you search for is sent to api.opensubtitles.com.
Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics)
If StreamNest crashes or freezes, Crashlytics sends a technical report: where in the code it failed, the App version, the device model and Android version, and an installation ID. It contains no playlist, password, history or video.
Settings from Firebase (Remote Config)
The App fetches current settings from us, such as the addresses of the free channel lists and films and how often ads may appear, with an installation ID.
Ads (Google AdMob, free version only)
The free version shows a banner under the lists of Home, Live TV, Movies, Series and Search, a full-screen ad now and then when you close the player or open the App, and, only if you choose it, an ad that unlocks a Pro feature for a while. Ads never appear while a video plays, in Kids mode, on Android TV or for StreamNest Pro. Google AdMob collects device information, the advertising ID or app set ID, the IP address (and from it an approximate location), how ads are viewed and tapped, and diagnostic data, to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, StreamNest asks for your consent first with Google's consent form, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android's settings. More about Google's use of this data: How Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Football videos (YouTube)
Home shows the newest videos of official football league channels on YouTube (live matches the leagues stream there, and highlights). The App reads YouTube's public video lists from youtube.com, loads their pictures from i.ytimg.com, and plays a video with YouTube's own embedded player (YouTube API Services). While a video plays, YouTube may collect data as described in the Google Privacy Policy, and YouTube's Terms of Service apply. We do not receive any of it. The videos are not shown in Kids mode.
Free sports channels
The free sports channels play from the broadcasters' own servers, which see your IP address. Each is checked once in a while to see whether it plays where you are.
Purchases (Google Play)
StreamNest Pro is bought through Google Play. Google handles the payment, and we never see your card, UPI or other payment details. Google Play tells the App which plan is active; the App keeps this on your device to unlock Pro. We don't run our own server for purchases.
Links that open in other apps
A YouTube link opens in the YouTube app, and if you choose another video player (VLC, MX Player…) in Settings, the stream address is handed to that app. Their privacy policies apply.
Between your own devices
- Chromecast: when you cast, the stream address (and, for a protected channel, its licence details) goes to the Chromecast you choose.
- Network media (DLNA): when you open it, StreamNest looks for media servers on your own Wi-Fi and plays what you pick from them.
- Watch on your TV: while StreamNest is open on your TV, it announces itself on your Wi-Fi so your phone can find it, and Settings › Connect your phone shows a QR code, the TV's address and a 6-digit code. Your phone and TV then talk directly over your home network, never through us or the internet. If you open the TV's page in your phone's browser, the playlist you type goes to the TV as an ordinary web form over your Wi-Fi, and nothing is saved until you add it on the TV. With the StreamNest app, a phone joins only after you allow it on the TV; after that, what the two send each other (the playlists you send, including logins, and the streams you play on the TV) is encrypted with a key only those two devices know, which each keeps encrypted with the Android Keystore. You can remove a connected phone or TV at any time in My TVs or Connect your phone. Scanning the TV's QR code uses Google's code scanner in Google Play services, which gives the App only the scanned link; the App itself gets no camera access.
- Android TV: on a TV, the App adds what you are watching to the "Continue watching" row of the TV's home screen.
We don't receive any of it.
What StreamNest doesn't do
No account or sign-in, and no selling or renting of data. StreamNest has no usage analytics, doesn't upload your playlists, logins, history, recordings or videos to us, and doesn't read your contacts or your location. Apart from Google's ads in the free version, described above, nothing tracks you across apps.

Crash reports are deleted after 90 days. Google keeps ad data under its own policies. Everything on your device stays until you delete it in the App or uninstall StreamNest.
Children's privacy
StreamNest isn't made for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. Kids profiles and parental controls help adults choose what children can watch, and Kids mode shows no ads.
Your rights and choices
There is no account, so the information above isn't tied to your name or email. You decide which playlists and services to add, you can change your ad consent in Settings › Ad privacy choices (EEA, UK and Switzerland) and your advertising ID in Android's settings, you can delete playlists, history, recordings and downloads in the App, and uninstalling StreamNest deletes everything it keeps.
- India: under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may withdraw consent, ask about the data we hold and raise a grievance with the Grievance Officer below.
- EEA, UK and Switzerland: we rely on our legitimate interest in keeping StreamNest working, safe and improving (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) for crash reports and settings, on your consent for personalised ads, and on our contract with you for purchases. You can object to processing based on legitimate interest, ask for access or deletion, and complain to your data protection authority.
- Google may process this data outside your country, including in the United States, under its data protection terms.
