Last Updated: [9] [24], 2025
Effective Date: [9] [24], 2025
Welcome to iTV Remote (hereinafter referred to as “this Application” or “we”), an intelligent remote-control tool developed specifically for iOS devices.
We fully understand the importance of personal information security and are committed to protecting your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy (“this Policy”) explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use this Application, as well as the rights you have regarding your personal data.
Please note that most of this Application’s functions operate locally on your device, and related data is primarily stored locally. We only process your information to the minimum extent necessary to achieve specific functions as described in this Policy.
By downloading this Application from the Apple App Store and granting the necessary permissions (e.g., Bluetooth, local file access), you are deemed to have fully read, understood, and voluntarily accepted all terms of this Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Application immediately.
This Policy applies only to information collected through iOS device functionalities (such as Bluetooth, microphone, camera, and network) when you use this Application. It does not apply to:
Information collected offline;
Information collected by third-party services integrated within this Application (e.g., screen casting SDKs or analytics SDKs). These third parties operate according to their own privacy policies (see Appendix “SDK List”), and we are not responsible for their practices.
When you access third-party services through this Application, please refer to their privacy policies to understand their data processing rules. You assume any associated risks.
The formation, performance, interpretation, and dispute resolution of this Policy shall be governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China (Mainland), excluding its conflict of law provisions.
Any disputes arising from this Policy shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may bring the dispute before the People’s Court with jurisdiction at the defendant’s domicile.
Local Processing Priority: Most data is generated and stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.
Minimal Necessary Collection: Only data essential to achieving the core functionalities is collected.
Transparency and Control: We clearly inform users of each data collection purpose and provide accessible options to revoke permissions or delete data.
Secure and De-identified Sharing: We share only anonymized or de-identified data with third parties when necessary and under strict contractual obligations.
We strictly follow the principles of legality, legitimacy, and necessity. All collection activities aim solely to realize the Application’s features, as detailed below:
Bluetooth and Network Access
Purpose: To connect with televisions or other devices and transmit remote-control commands.
Collection Rules: We access your local network information (including SSID, BSSID, and IP address) only to identify controllable devices within the same local network. Bluetooth activates only when a connection is initiated, does not scan in the background, and does not store connection history (except for user-saved favorite devices).
Local File Access (Optional)
Purpose: To read photos, videos, audio, or documents you voluntarily select for screen casting.
Collection Rules: We only access files you explicitly choose. We do not batch scan or store unselected content, and no file copies are retained after casting completes.
Location Access
Purpose: To improve device search efficiency or enable region-based features.
Collection Rules: We only obtain approximate location data, do not collect precise GPS coordinates, and do not store location history. Disabling this permission will not affect basic remote-control functionality.
During use, we automatically collect anonymized data to improve functionality, ensure security, and troubleshoot errors, including:
Device model, OS version, unique device identifier, and app version;
Usage frequency and user preferences for interface themes.
This data is anonymized, cannot identify you personally, and is stored locally or uploaded in de-identified form.
According to applicable laws, the following circumstances do not require your authorization:
Related to national or public security, major public interests, or criminal investigation;
Required for the protection of your or others’ life and property where consent is difficult to obtain;
Information that you have made public or that is collected from legally disclosed sources;
Necessary for performing a contract at your request or maintaining the secure and stable operation of this Application.
We use collected information solely for the following purposes:
1. Core Functionalities
Remote control and device connection (using Bluetooth or network data).
Screen casting and function statistics (using locally accessed files).
2. Security and Optimization
Identifying and preventing attacks, fixing bugs, and improving product design and functionality.
3. Necessary Notifications
We may send you limited notifications, such as:
·Device connection status updates;
·Screen casting completion alerts;
·Security risk warnings (e.g., abnormal connection attempts).
You can disable notifications in iOS settings without affecting basic app usage.
We do not share or transfer your personal information except under the following circumstances:
With your explicit consent;
As required by law, judicial authorities, or administrative agencies;
For protecting legitimate rights, safety, or public interests in emergencies;
With third-party SDKs necessary for providing certain functions, under strict contractual data protection terms (see Appendix “SDK List”).
In cases of corporate restructuring, merger, or bankruptcy, your information may be treated as part of transferred assets, and we will ensure the successor continues to follow this Policy or obtains your renewed consent if the purpose of processing changes.
Storage Location: All data is stored within the territory of the People’s Republic of China and will not be transmitted across borders.
Storage Period:
Local data remains on your device until the Application is uninstalled or manually cleared;
Third-party SDK data follows their own privacy policies, and we require them to minimize retention duration.
Security Measures:
·Local data encryption using system-level keys;
·SSL encryption for data transmission;
·Strict access control and internal authorization management;
·Incident response plans for handling data breaches, including notifying users and reporting to regulators as required.
You have the right to:

·Delete data by uninstalling the Application;
·Withdraw consent via iOS “Settings > Privacy & Security > iTV Remote”;
·Lodge complaints via the contact channels provided below.
Before processing your request, we may verify your identity for security reasons. We generally respond within 15 business days (extendable to 30 days for complex cases). Requests may be denied if they infringe others’ privacy, violate laws, or are technically infeasible.
If you are under 18 years old, please read this Policy with your guardian and obtain their consent before using this Application.
We do not knowingly collect minors’ personal data. If such data is collected without guardian consent, it will be deleted within seven (7) business days upon verification.
Guardians may contact us to manage or delete a minor’s data after providing valid proof of guardianship.
We may update this Policy due to business or legal reasons. Updated versions will be published within the Application, showing the new “Last Updated” and “Effective Date.”
