Privacy policy
Glass TV, the Android TV home screen. Last updated 3 November 2026.
The short version
Glass TV has no servers and no accounts of its own. It collects nothing about you. Everything it stores stays on your TV, and it talks only to the services listed below, directly from the TV.
YouTube and your Google account
If you choose to sign in, Glass TV asks Google for one permission: View your YouTube account (youtube.readonly). It uses it only to:
- list the channels you subscribe to, and
- fetch those channels' latest uploads (titles, thumbnails, dates) to show in the "From your subscriptions" row, and your channel name to show who is signed in.
Glass TV can't post, like, subscribe, comment, or change anything in your account. The sign-in token is stored only in the app's private storage on your TV. It is never sent anywhere except to Google to get YouTube data, never shared with anyone, never sold, and never used for advertising or to train any model.
Glass TV's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
To disconnect, choose Sign out in Glass TV's YouTube settings, or remove Glass TV at myaccount.google.com/connections. Uninstalling the app deletes everything it stored.
Other services the TV contacts
| Service | What for |
|---|---|
| Google / YouTube | Sign-in and your subscriptions' videos, only if you sign in |
| Stremio | Your "Continue watching" list and catalogue artwork, only if you sign in to Stremio |
| Open-Meteo | Weather for the place you choose |
| TMDB | Artwork for new releases, only if you add your own TMDB key |
Each receives only what it needs to answer that request, under its own privacy policy.
Setting up from your phone
Some settings can be entered from a phone by scanning a QR code. That page is served by the TV itself, only on your local network, at a random address, and only while that settings screen is open. Nothing goes through the internet.
Changes and contact
