+# RelayTV Android Privacy Policy
+
+Last updated: April 3, 2026
+
+## Summary
+
+RelayTV Android is a companion remote for self-hosted RelayTV servers. The app does not require an account, does not include advertising, and does not use third-party analytics SDKs.
+
+## Information The App Processes
+
+RelayTV Android may process the following categories of data in order to operate:
+
+1. RelayTV server information
+   - Server names and base URLs you add in the app
+   - The currently selected active server
+2. Shared content
+   - Links you share into the app using Android share targets such as `RelayTV Queue` and `RelayTV Play`
+3. Local network discovery data
+   - RelayTV service advertisements discovered on your local network via mDNS / NSD
+4. Device-local notification data
+   - Notification text used to confirm a queue or play action
+
+## How The App Uses Data
+
+RelayTV Android uses the data above only to:
+
+1. Connect to the RelayTV server you selected
+2. Load the RelayTV web UI in an embedded WebView
+3. Send shared links to RelayTV endpoints such as `/smart` or `/play_now`
+4. Discover compatible RelayTV servers on your local network
+5. Show local notifications about share results and reconnect state
+
+## Data Storage
+
+The app stores configured server names and base URLs locally on your device using Android shared preferences.
+
+The app does not operate its own cloud backend and does not sync your app data to a RelayTV-operated online service.
+
+## Data Sharing
+
+RelayTV Android sends requests only to the RelayTV server you configured or discovered and chose to use.
+
+The app does not sell personal information and does not share data with advertising networks or analytics providers.
+
+## Network Security
+
+RelayTV is designed for local-first and self-hosted use. Because many self-hosted RelayTV installations run on trusted LAN HTTP endpoints, the app allows cleartext HTTP connections in addition to HTTPS. If your RelayTV server is exposed outside a trusted private network, you should use HTTPS.
+
+## Permissions
+
+RelayTV Android may request or use these permissions:
+
+1. `INTERNET`
+   - Required to contact your RelayTV server
+2. `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
+   - Required to detect connectivity changes and recover the UI after network interruptions
+3. `CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE`
+   - Required for local network RelayTV discovery on some devices
+4. `POST_NOTIFICATIONS`
+   - Required on newer Android versions to show queue/play result notifications
+
+## Children
+
+RelayTV Android is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
+
+## Changes
+
+This privacy policy may be updated when app behavior changes. Update the "Last updated" date whenever this document changes materially.
