1. Our Core Commitment to Privacy
Welcome to AutoHDMI, a TV utility from Taponyourglassfor televisions running Android TV or Google TV. It switches to your selected HDMI input during the supported startup flow.
AutoHDMI does not display advertisements or use its Accessibility helper to build a behavioral or advertising profile. During normal app use, it does not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, passwords, messages, searches, TV viewing history, video content, audio recordings, photos, or an advertising profile. If you email support, we receive the information you choose to include.
🔒 Privacy Summary
- Personal information: The categories listed above are not collected during normal app use.
- No advertising or behavior profile: The app has no ads and its startup helper is not used for behavior tracking.
- Limited technical processing: Trial, licensing, installation, security, and diagnostic records are processed as described below.
- Support is voluntary: Support information is received when you choose to contact us.
2. Information We Process
AutoHDMI does not collect the personal information named in Section 1 during normal app use. It processes limited technical information to provide the seven-day free trial, restore access, verify licenses, protect the service, and prevent abuse.
🛡️ Technical Information
- Scrambled television code: The app creates a stable scrambled code from the TV's Android device identifier. The original raw identifier is not transmitted. The code is stable enough to recognize the same television, is not random, and may be associated with that television. It helps keep the seven-day free trial consistent, prevent repeated trials and abuse, associate access with the television, and restore access.
- Installation and service identifiers: An app installation identifier and a separate RevenueCat identifier support licensing and service records.
- Trial and licensing records: App version, trial start and expiry information, license and entitlement status, purchase history, security and verification results, timestamps, and limited audit or abuse-prevention records.
These records keep access consistent on the television, check that requests are genuine, restore a paid license, maintain security, and operate the trial. They are not used to track what you watch or to show advertising.
| Information | Purpose | Why We Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Scrambled television code | Recognize the same television for trial and access checks. | Keep access consistent and prevent abuse |
| Installation and RevenueCat identifiers | Connect installation, purchase, and entitlement records. | Restore and verify access |
| Security and verification results | Check that the installed app and related requests are genuine. | Protect the licensing service |
3. Required System Permissions
AutoHDMI uses a small set of TV settings to perform its startup job. The settings support startup detection, power behavior, and the limited Accessibility helper.
4. Third-Party Services We Use
AutoHDMI uses these services for app integrity, installation registration, trial and license records, purchase entitlements, and crash diagnostics. Their own privacy policies also apply.
Google Play, Play Integrity, Firebase & Google Cloud
Google Play and Play Integrity help confirm that the installed app and related requests are genuine. Firebase and Google Cloud register the installation, maintain trial and licensing records, provide an anonymous sign-in record for the installation, check app integrity, and run the licensing service. Firebase Crashlytics receives crash reports and technical diagnostics in release builds. Reports may include an app-installation identifier, app version, TV model, Android or Google TV operating-system information, crash details, and the general app area where a failure occurred.
Google Privacy Policy ↗Firebase Privacy Information ↗RevenueCat
RevenueCat maintains purchase and entitlement information used to verify paid access. A separate RevenueCat identifier, purchase history, license status, and related service records may be processed for this purpose.
RevenueCat Privacy Policy ↗5. Data Storage & Security
The television stores the selected input, setup and permission state, startup state, verification status, signed access information, installation and licensing identifiers, and basic app preferences.
Local information remains until it is cleared, the TV is reset, the app is removed, or Android otherwise handles it through storage or backup behavior. Server-side trial, installation, and licensing records may be retained as needed to keep the trial consistent, restore access, verify licenses, prevent abuse, maintain security records, and meet legal requirements. Crashlytics and other service providers may retain information under their own policies.
6. Data Deletion
AutoHDMI does not currently provide an in-app button that deletes server records. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data removes local app information from the TV, subject to Android's storage behavior. Uninstalling does not automatically delete information already held by Firebase, Google Cloud, Crashlytics, or RevenueCat.
For privacy questions or a deletion request, email support@taponyourglass.com. The User ID shown in AutoHDMI's Help & Support screen may help locate an associated licensing record. Some records may need to be retained for license restoration, fraud prevention, security, or legal reasons.
7. Children's Privacy
AutoHDMI is a general television utility. It does not ask users to enter their name, age, contact information, or personal profile. The same limited technical trial, licensing, and diagnostic information may be processed regardless of who operates the television. Parents or guardians may contact support@taponyourglass.com with questions.
8. Policy Changes
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the app, its services, or legal requirements. Updates will be published on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.
