15. Your privacy
A simple summary of what data Pixetia uses and where it goes. It doesn’t replace the full privacy policy.
The essentials
- Pixetia has no servers of its own. There’s no Pixetia account, and your photos and data are not sent to Pixetia.
- Your photos are not copied anywhere. They are read from where they are and shown on the TV. Only a reduced copy of some internet photos is kept on the TV itself (see Photos saved on the TV).
- Pixetia only reads: it doesn’t change, move or delete anything in your folders, accounts or servers.
- What you set up stays on your TV: the albums, the passwords (stored encrypted) and your account permissions.
Who Pixetia connects to
| Service | When | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Where your photos are (your computer, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, your server…) | When you watch an album | The request for the photos in the folders you chose. |
| Open-Meteo (weather) | If you turn on “Show the current weather” | The city or approximate area, to give the temperature. |
| ipapi.co | If you leave the weather city empty, or if you show the place of the photos | Your internet address, to work out your approximate city or country. |
| Android location services | If you turn on “Show where each photo was taken” and the photo has GPS | The photo’s coordinates, to turn them into a place name. |
| Radio Browser and the chosen station | If you turn on background music | The station search and the connection to the radio. |
| OpenRouter and the AI provider | Only when you ask the AI assistant something | A reduced copy of that photo and the names of its album and folders. See Tell me about this photo. |
Your phone and the TV
When you send a link or a key from your phone by scanning a QR code, the page is served by your own TV and the data travels from the phone to the TV without leaving your home. See Using your phone.
Shared links
A Google Photos or Google Drive link shared with “anyone with the link” can be opened by anyone who has it. Pixetia doesn’t publish it anywhere, but don’t share it with anyone you don’t want to see those photos.
Deleting your data
- Delete an album in My albums to delete its settings.
- Press Disconnect in OneDrive or Dropbox to remove the account permission.
- Use “Disconnect the AI and delete the key” to remove the AI.
- Uninstalling Pixetia deletes everything it stored on the TV.
