Zapeo Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
1. Data controller
- Controller: Javier MR
- Privacy contact: miptv.support@gmail.com
This policy applies to the Zapeo app, which is free and ad-supported, and to its optional “Zapeo without ads” subscription.
2. What Zapeo is and is not
Zapeo is a media player. It does not provide, host or distribute any audiovisual content or channel lists. You add your own providers or lists, and you are responsible for having the rights to use them.
3. Data we process
a) Data stored only on your device
- Providers you add (server URL, username and password or token), kept in the system's encrypted storage.
- Favorites, history, filters, theme and language.
This data is not sent to our servers and we do not receive it. It is deleted when you clear the app's data or uninstall it.
b) Communication with your provider
The app connects directly to the servers of the providers you configure to fetch catalogs, guides and video streams. That processing is governed by each provider's privacy policy, and we have no access to it.
c) Advertising (without the subscription)
If you don't have the “Zapeo without ads” subscription, the app shows ads through Google AdMob. Google and its advertising partners may collect and process:
- The device's advertising identifier.
- IP address and approximate location.
- Device and app data (model, operating system, language).
- Ad interactions and performance data.
This data is used to serve ads, measure their effectiveness, prevent fraud and, if you consent, personalize them. More information: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
While your subscription is active, the app requests no ads and does not ask for advertising consent. The Google AdMob component is still part of the app, but it is not used to request ads.
d) “Zapeo without ads” subscription
The yearly subscription removes ads. Payment is handled by your device's store, Google Play or the App Store, with its own system: we never receive your card or payment method details.
- The app only asks the store whether your subscription is active.
- It stores that status and the time of the last check on your device, so you don't see ads while offline for a few days.
- This data is not sent to any server of ours.
Google and Apple process the purchase data under their own privacy policies. You can cancel the subscription at any time from your Google Play or Apple account subscriptions.
e) Chromecast
If you use the Chromecast feature, the Google Cast system sends the address of the content you are playing to your target device.
4. Legal basis
- Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) for storing and accessing information on your device and for personalized ads.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) for non-personalized ads, measurement and fraud prevention, within the limits set by law.
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) to check and maintain your “Zapeo without ads” subscription.
- Providing the service for data processed locally so the app works.
5. Your consent and how to change it
If you don't have the subscription and you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your choice when you open the app through a Google consent form. While your subscription is active, this form is not shown.
- You can accept, reject or manage your preferences.
- If you reject personalization, you will still see ads, but they will be non-personalized.
- You can change your decision at any time in Settings → Privacy → Privacy options.
- You can also reset or limit your advertising ID in Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
6. Recipients and international transfers
Advertising data is processed by Google LLC and its advertising partners, which may be located outside the EEA. Google applies safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. Subscription payment data is processed by Google (Google Play) or Apple (App Store), which handle the sale. We do not sell your data or share it with any other third parties.
7. Retention
- Local data: until you delete it or uninstall the app.
- Advertising data: according to Google's policies.
- Subscription status: on your device, until you uninstall the app. Purchase data: according to Google's or Apple's policies.
- Messages you send us: as long as needed to handle them.
8. Your rights
You may exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability, and withdraw your consent at any time, by writing to miptv.support@gmail.com. Since we do not keep your personal data on our servers, in most cases you can exercise them yourself from the app or your device. For advertising data, you can also exercise them with Google.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. In Spain, the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).
9. Children
Zapeo is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
Your providers' credentials are stored encrypted on your device. Still, no system is completely secure, and we recommend protecting your device.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We will publish the current version with its date, and notify you in the app if the change is significant.
