This Privacy Policy explains how TVHomeX (including the TVHomeX: Clean Your TV iPhone app and its companion TV launcher) handles information when you connect to and manage a compatible TV. It covers local discovery, remote control, app management, cleanup, home screen customization, photo wallpapers, TV screenshots and Pro purchases.
TVHomeX does not require a developer account. Its current version has no developer-operated cloud upload service and does not include third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. Most information described below is processed on your phone and TV, rather than sent to us. Information you choose to email to support is an exception.
TV and network information. To discover, connect to and manage your TV, the app processes device names, brands, models, network addresses and ports, device identifiers, operating system details, storage information, installed app information and running app information. This supports device recognition, app organization, cleanup and compatibility checks. Local network access is used to communicate with devices you choose to connect to.
Settings and operation records. The app stores preferences, the last connected device identifier, operation history and records needed to restore original TV settings on your phone. The TV launcher stores home screen settings, app order, hidden app selections and wallpaper files on your TV. A previous configuration and its wallpaper may be retained for recovery.
Pairing and authorization. ADB keys, certificates and related connection credentials are stored using the system Keychain. TVHomeX and TVRemoteX use a shared Keychain access group and can reuse compatible authorization credentials on the same Apple device. This does not upload the credentials to a developer server. Pairing codes are used to establish the connection you request.
Photos and wallpaper content. When you choose a photo through the system photo picker, TVHomeX receives the selected image for editing and preview. The app does not scan your entire photo library. Photo edits, text overlays, stickers and canvas designs are processed locally. When you apply a wallpaper, the resulting image is transferred to your TV over the local network and stored by the TV launcher.
Remote input and screenshots. Remote control commands and text you enter are sent to the connected TV. Text is delivered to the TV input field you select; the receiving TV app may handle it under its own privacy policy. When you request a TV screenshot, the image is transferred to your phone for preview and optional saving. TVHomeX requests permission before saving screenshots to Photos. Content saved to Photos is then subject to your device and photo backup settings.
Local diagnostics. Connection and error messages may be recorded in operating system logs, including device network addresses and technical error details. TVHomeX does not automatically send these logs to a developer analytics service. Apple may separately provide diagnostics or aggregate reports according to your Apple settings and Apple's policies. If you choose to share a diagnostic report with us, review its contents before sending.
Apple processes payments, subscriptions and refunds. TVHomeX uses StoreKit to read product information, verified transactions and entitlement status so it can unlock Pro features, check eligibility for offers and restore purchases. We do not receive your payment card details. Apple may provide us with transaction and sales reports through App Store Connect under its own policies.
You can manage subscriptions through your Apple account. Deleting TVHomeX does not cancel a subscription or erase Apple's transaction records.
If you email [email protected], we receive your email address, message and any attachments or diagnostic information you choose to send. We use this information to respond, troubleshoot and handle privacy requests. Sending a support email is optional. Please avoid including passwords, payment card details or unrelated personal information.
Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to resolve and follow up on the request, maintain necessary support records, or meet applicable legal obligations. You can request deletion using the contact address below, subject to any retention required by law.
We do not sell or rent personal information, use it for targeted advertising, or track you across other companies' apps and websites. Device content is shared with the TV you authorize when needed to carry out your actions. Compatible authorization credentials can be accessed by TVRemoteX as described above.
