Amber Player

Privacy

What is kept, and where. The same words are inside the app, under Settings.

In short

This app asks for no account of its own, measures nothing you do, sends no error report, and carries no advertising or tracking.

Everything you type stays on this computer. The app connects only to the provider you name and to the two open sources below. It speaks to no server of ours at all.

Kept on your computer

None of it is sent anywhere.

Sign-in details Passwords are kept encrypted in the Windows credential store, not in the app's own files.
Settings, favourites, watch history Where you left off, your favourites and all your settings sit in the app's file on this computer and nowhere else.
The parental control PIN Kept on this computer; it is not an account password. A forgotten PIN cannot be reset from inside the app.
The channel and content lists The lists your provider sends are kept on this computer so the app does not have to download them at every opening. Your password is not written into those files.
Downloads What you download is written to the folder you chose, not hidden away inside the app.

Servers contacted

Your provider — the channel and content lists, the streams and the guide where there is one all come from here. Your username and password go to this address and to no other. You type the address in yourself.

open-epg.com — when your provider sends no guide, it is filled in from the open listings here. The request carries nothing about who you are. It can be switched off in the connection settings.

sporekrani.com — the "Today's Sport" row on the home screen reads the day's events from here. Turn the row off in the interface settings and the request stops with it.

Beyond those, the app contacts nothing. There is no crash report and no measurement of any kind.

If you want it gone

Settings › Clear Data removes favourites, watch history and the cached lists, one at a time.

Deleting an account from the account list takes its sign-in details off the computer with it.

Uninstalling the app removes everything it kept: there is no copy left anywhere else.
