Privacy Policy

Effective from: November 10, 2025

Satellite World Maps built the Universal TV Remote app as a free service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our mobile application. We do not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. By installing or using the app, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

The Universal TV Remote app lets your phone connect and control Smart TVs or IR-supported televisions. We do not request or collect personal data such as your name, contacts, camera, microphone, or storage files.

Notification Permission

The app may request permission to send notifications for connection status, pairing results, or feature updates. Granting this permission is optional; core remote functions remain available without it.

Network and Infrared Functionality

For Smart TV control, your mobile device and the TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
The app only checks Wi-Fi connection status to enable device discovery and pairing. We do not store or transmit your Wi-Fi network SSID, passwords, or other network credentials.
If your phone includes an Infrared (IR) blaster, the app detects its presence to enable infrared remote control.
No personal or device-identifying information is collected during this check.
