Privacy policy

Effective October 28, 2026

EvoStream is a companion app for personal Jellyfin media servers. This policy explains what the app does with information. In short: the developer of EvoStream does not collect, receive, sell or share any of your personal information. The app talks only to the media server you sign in to and to the services that server or you set up.

Information the app handles

• Server address and sign-in. The address of your media server and the sign-in token it gives the app are stored on your device so you stay signed in. Your password is sent only to your server and is not stored by the app.
• Sign in with Google (optional). If your server offers Sign in with Google and you use it, Google tells your media server your name, email address and a Google account ID. They are used only to sign you in to your account on that server and are kept on that server. Google's own privacy policy covers what Google does. You can unlink Google in Settings at any time.
• Profiles and settings. Profile names, avatars, PINs (stored as a hash), age levels, favourites, lists and app settings are saved on your media server, under your account, so every device shows the same. Some settings (for example "keep the screen on") are saved only on the device.
• What you watch. Playback progress and watch history are reported to your media server, as with any Jellyfin app, so you can resume and see Continue Watching. Your server's owner can see this activity on their server.
• Live TV (optional). If you add a live TV service, its login or activation code is stored on your media server and used by the app to load channels, guide data and streams directly from that service.
• Trailers. When you play a trailer, your media server fetches it from YouTube and passes it to the app. YouTube's own privacy policy applies to that request.
• Sign-in on your network. While a sign-in screen is open, the app announces itself on your home network so another EvoStream device can help you sign in. Nothing leaves your network for this.

What the app does not do

• No advertising, no analytics or tracking SDKs, no data sale.
• No account with the developer: there is nothing to sign up for.
• No content is provided by the developer; everything you watch comes from your own server or services you subscribe to.

Your platform

Your TV or streaming device (for example Roku) may collect information under its own privacy policy. Voice search uses your device's voice service.

Children

The app has no accounts with the developer and collects nothing from children. Parents can give children their own profiles with an age level and a PIN on the parent's profile; that is stored on the household's own media server.

Deleting your data

Sign out of a profile or remove the app to delete what is stored on the device. Data on your media server is controlled by its owner, who can delete your account and its history there.

Changes and contact

Changes to this policy will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: open an issue on GitHub.
