JoeAri House Privacy Policy

JoeAri House is a private remote and guide for one family's home. It runs on an iPhone and an Apple TV and talks to a small computer in the developer's own house. This page says what the app sends and where.

What the app collects

• A device ID. The Apple TV app makes a short code from your box's vendor ID (the first 8 characters). It tells the home computer which Apple TV is which.
• How the app is used. The Apple TV app tells the home computer which tab is open, which buttons you press, and which app version you run. The iPhone app tells it the title of what you start playing and whether it worked, and asks it for the guide, scores and cameras, and to play something on a TV.
• What you type in search. Search words you type (a title, a person) are sent to the home computer to look them up. They are not tied to your name.
• The app does not collect your name, email, location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera. It has no ads and no analytics or crash-reporting service.

Who receives it

The device ID and usage events go only to the developer's own computer in his own home, reached over the home network. That computer is run by the developer; it is not a third party. The developer does not sell this information, share it, or use it for advertising or tracking you across other apps or sites.

What it is used for

Only to make the app work: showing the right screen on the right TV, playing what you picked, and fixing the app when something breaks.

Other services the app hands you off to

• Real-Debrid, only if you sign in with your own account on your Apple TV. Your Real-Debrid sign-in token is kept in the Keychain on your Apple TV. It is never sent to the developer's computer.
• Content lookups (Cinemeta, Torrentio, ElfHosted), poster pictures, live video and camera streams, and the YouTube and YouTube TV apps. These are asked for programme information or opened in their own app. The app gives them no device ID or name. Like any website or service, they can see your internet address.

These services have their own privacy policies.

How to stop it

Delete the app. On the Apple TV you can also sign out of Real-Debrid inside the app, which removes the token from the Keychain. Away from home the app cannot reach the home computer, so nothing is sent.

Changes and contact
