Privacy Policy

Introduction

Odeion is a self-hosted media streaming platform. You run it on your own hardware, and your data stays on your hardware. We do not operate any servers that store, process, or have access to your personal information or media library.

This privacy policy explains what information we do and do not collect, and how we handle the limited data we may receive through voluntary bug reports.

Information We Do Not Collect

Odeion does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Usage data or analytics (what you watch, when, or how often)
• Device identifiers or fingerprints
• Location data
• Crash reports or diagnostics (unless you voluntarily submit them)
• Advertising identifiers

There is no telemetry, no phone-home functionality, and no background data collection of any kind. The Odeion apps and server do not contact our systems during normal use.

User-Submitted Bug Reports

The only information we receive is what you choose to send us voluntarily when submitting a bug report. If you contact us to report an issue, the information you provide may include:

• Your email address (so we can respond)
• A description of the issue you experienced
• Device type, operating system, and app version
• Screenshots or screen recordings you choose to attach
• Log files you choose to include

We use this information solely to diagnose and fix bugs. We do not sell, share, or use it for any other purpose. Bug report data is retained only as long as necessary to resolve the reported issue.

Self-Hosted Architecture

Odeion is designed to run entirely on infrastructure you control. All of the following data resides exclusively on your server and is never transmitted to us:

• User accounts and authentication credentials
• Media files, metadata, and artwork
• Watch history and playback progress
• Playlists and user preferences
• Server configuration and settings

As the server operator, you are responsible for the security and privacy of data stored on your Odeion instance, including the accounts of any users you invite.

Third-Party Services

Odeion may fetch metadata (such as movie descriptions, poster art, and ratings) from third-party sources like TMDB on your behalf. These requests are made directly from your server, not through ours. We do not act as an intermediary and have no visibility into these requests.

We do not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services into our apps or server software.

App Store Platforms

Odeion apps are distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. These platforms may collect their own data in accordance with their respective privacy policies. We do not have access to or control over data collected by Apple or Google through their distribution platforms.

Children's Privacy

Since Odeion does not collect personal information from any users, we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. The only data we may receive is through voluntary bug report submissions, which are not directed at children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us through a bug report, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
