Pixetia privacy policy
Last updated: November 11, 2026. This policy explains what data the Pixetia app for Android TV and Google TV processes, what for, who it is shared with and what you can do. If you prefer a simple summary, see Your privacy in the user guide. If this translation and the Spanish version differ, the Spanish version prevails.
1. Who is responsible
Pixetia is developed by Fernando Herranz Luna, based in Spain. For any question about this policy or your data, write to [email protected].
2. The essentials
- Pixetia has no servers of its own and no user accounts. The developer does not receive, store or have any way to see your photos, your albums, your passwords or any other data of yours.
- There is no advertising, analytics or tracking. The app doesn’t include any statistics, advertising or crash-reporting tools that send data to the developer or to third parties.
- Everything you set up stays on your TV. Data only leaves it to connect to the services you choose to use, and only what is needed for them to work.
- Pixetia only reads. It never changes, moves, uploads or deletes anything in your folders, accounts or servers.
3. What data is stored on the TV
This data is stored only in the app’s private storage on your device:
- Your album settings: names, folder addresses or links, and each album’s options (weather, clock, music, etc.).
- Credentials: users and passwords for network folders or servers, keys for services such as Immich or your AI service, and the access permissions for Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox. They are stored encrypted with the Android keystore.
- Reduced copies of internet photos, so they aren’t downloaded again and again. They take up at most 400 MB (or 10% of the storage), are deleted automatically if they aren’t shown for 7 days or if you remove the album, and you can delete them whenever you want. See Photos saved on the TV.
- The language chosen for the app.
When you uninstall Pixetia, Android deletes all this data.
4. Who Pixetia connects to and what it sends
Pixetia connects directly from your TV to the services you set up. Each one processes the data according to its own privacy policy, linked here:
| Service | When | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Your computer, NAS or server (network folder, WebDAV, Immich) | When you watch an album from that source | The requests to read the photos in the chosen folders, with the user and password or key you set up. |
| Google (policy): Google Photos and Google Drive | When you watch a shared Google album | The shared link you entered and the requests for its photos. For Drive, the app identifies itself with its own app key, not with your account. |
| Microsoft OneDrive (policy) | When you connect your account and when you watch the album | The sign-in (which you do yourself on Microsoft’s website) and the requests for the chosen folders and photos. The app only asks for read permission. |
| Dropbox (policy) | When you connect your account and when you watch the album | Same as OneDrive: sign-in on Dropbox’s website and reading of the chosen folders. |
| Open-Meteo (terms) | If you turn on “Show the current weather” | The name of the city you type, or its approximate position, to give the temperature. |
| ipapi.co (policy) | If you leave the weather city empty, or if you show the place of the photos or choose music | Your public IP address, to work out your approximate city (for the weather) or your country (for example, so it isn’t repeated in every place name). Nothing else is sent. |
| Android location service (on TVs with Google, provided by Google) | If you turn on “Show where each photo was taken” and the photo has GPS | The coordinates stored in the photo, to turn them into a place name. |
| Radio Browser (website) and the chosen station | If you turn on background music | The station search (style and country) and the connection to listen to the station, which receives your IP address like any listener. |
| OpenRouter (policy) and the AI model provider, or the AI service you set up yourself | Only when you ask the AI assistant something | A reduced copy of the photo you are watching, the names of its album and folders and, in the guessing game, the place name (not the coordinates). Some free models may store or use what they receive to improve their systems; check the terms of the model you choose. The app warns you before you use the AI for the first time. |
When you send a link or a key from your phone by scanning a QR code, the page is served by your own TV within your home network: that data doesn’t go through any external server.
Connections to internet services are encrypted (HTTPS). Connections to devices on your own network use the protocol you set up.
5. What the data is used for and the legal basis
The data is used only so the app can do what you ask: show your photos, the time, the weather, the place, the music and the AI’s answers. The legal basis is the performance of the service you request by using the app and, for the AI assistant, your consent, which you give when you turn it on and can withdraw whenever you want by disconnecting it. Pixetia doesn’t sell data, doesn’t build profiles and doesn’t make automated decisions about you.
6. App permissions
- Internet and Wi-Fi network state: to connect to your services and to look for shared folders on your home network.
- Read photos on the device: only if you choose an album from the TV itself or from a USB drive.
7. How long data is kept
Data on the TV is kept while the app is installed or until you delete it. Photo copies are deleted automatically as explained in section 3. The developer doesn’t keep any data because it doesn’t receive any.
8. Your rights and how to delete your data
- Delete an album in My albums to delete its settings and its saved photos.
- Press Disconnect in OneDrive or Dropbox to remove the account permission. You can also withdraw it from the Microsoft or Dropbox website.
- Use “Disconnect the AI and delete the key” to remove the AI.
- Uninstall Pixetia to delete everything it stored.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to access, rectify, erase, object to, restrict the processing of and port your data. Since the developer doesn’t hold any of your data, you exercise them with the controls above or, for data held by other services, with those services. If you have any questions, write to [email protected]. You can also lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or with the data protection authority of your country.
9. Children
Pixetia is not aimed at children under 14 and does not knowingly collect data from them. The AI assistant must be set up by an adult.
10. This website
This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages (policy). It doesn’t use cookies, analytics or trackers. Cloudflare may log technical data about visits, such as the IP address, to serve the page and protect it from attacks.
11. Changes to this policy
If the policy changes, we will publish the new version on this page with its date. If a change affects how your data is processed, we will also say so in the app.
