Car TV Max
Privacy Policy
Effective 15 November 2026
In short: Car TV Max has no accounts and no ads, and it doesn't track you. Your playlists, logins and what you watch stay on your iPhone. The app sends anonymous usage numbers and crash reports so we can improve it, and you can switch that off in Settings → Privacy.
Who we are
Car TV Max is made by MYFITAI - FZCO (“we”). This policy covers the Car TV Max app for iPhone, including its widgets, Live Activities, Siri and CarPlay features, and its screen mirroring extension.
Data we collect
Car TV Max sends anonymous usage numbers and crash reports through Google Firebase (Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics). Google processes them for us. They tell us how many people use the app, which features they use and where the app crashes.
What is sent
- Usage: which screens you open and what kind of thing happened, such as “an M3U playlist was added”, “a live channel started playing” or “CarPlay connected”, and the size of the car's screen.
- Purchases: that a Car TV Max Pro plan was bought, with its product name and price.
- Crash reports: where in the app's code a crash happened, and the last few of the usage events above that led up to it.
- About the device: the iPhone model, iOS version, app version, language, and the country or region, which Google works out from the IP address without storing the address.
- A random ID that Firebase creates for this install of the app, so one person isn't counted twice. It isn't your name, Apple Account or advertising identifier, and reinstalling the app replaces it.
What is never sent
- The names or addresses of your playlists, servers and channels, your logins, or what you watch.
- Your location from the parked check, your speed, your camera, what you say to Voice Input, or your screen.
- Your name, email address or anything else that says who you are. The app has no accounts.
We don't use this data for advertising, we don't sell it, and we don't combine it with data from other apps or websites to track you.
Switching it off
In the app, open Settings → Privacy and turn off Share Usage & Crash Data. The app then sends neither.
How long it's kept, and where
Google keeps usage data for up to 14 months and crash reports for 90 days, on servers that may be outside your country, including in the United States. Firebase's privacy information describes how Google handles it.
If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone's settings, Apple may also send us crash reports and anonymous usage statistics. Apple's privacy policy covers that.
What stays on your iPhone
To work, the app keeps the following on your iPhone only:
- The playlists, links, Xtream logins and media servers you add. Passwords and sign-in tokens are kept in the iOS Keychain.
- Your favorites, recently watched list, TV guide and settings, and how much of today's free time you've used.
- Videos you import from Files or Photos, which are copied into the app.
- Channel names and logos for your widgets and Live Activities.
Like other app data, this is included in your iPhone's backups if you use them. Removing a source in the app deletes it, including its password. Deleting the app deletes the rest of its data. iOS can keep Keychain passwords after an app is deleted, so remove your sources first if you want those gone too.
Connections the app makes for you
Car TV Max connects directly to the services you choose. Other companies and people run them, not us, and their own privacy policies apply.
- Your sources: the playlist, Xtream, Jellyfin, Emby and Plex servers you add, and the video, logo and TV guide addresses they list. They see your IP address and the requests needed to play. Jellyfin, Emby and Plex servers also receive a random ID that the app creates for this install, because they use it to tell devices apart.
- Plex sign-in: if you add Plex, the app contacts plex.tv to create a sign-in code and to list your servers.
- The built-in browser: websites you open load directly from those sites, which may store cookies on your iPhone.
- Website icons: the icons on the browser's start page are loaded from Apple's App Store catalogue, or from the website itself or Google's icon service. They see your IP address and which icon was asked for, not what you do on the site.
- Purchases: Apple handles payment, and we never see your payment details. The app asks Apple whether Car TV Max Pro is active on your Apple Account.
Permissions
Location
Only while your iPhone is connected to CarPlay, the app reads your speed to check that the car is parked before video, web pages or screen mirroring show on the car screen. Your location is used on your iPhone as it happens. It isn't saved, and it's never sent to us or anyone else. Without location access, no picture shows on the car screen, and sound still plays.
Camera
Only to scan a QR code with a playlist link, when you choose to. Nothing is recorded or saved.
Microphone and speech recognition
Only when you tap Voice Input on the car screen, to turn what you say into a search. Where your iPhone can do it, the words are recognized on the iPhone itself. Otherwise Apple recognizes them, under Apple's privacy policy. The app doesn't record or keep what you say.
Notifications
Only to lead you to the iPhone's keyboard or to CarPlay Remote when you ask for them on the car screen while the app isn't open on your iPhone.
Local network
To find and play from media servers on your network, to show video on TVs, and to receive videos cast from other apps and devices, where Car TV Max appears as “Car TV Max (iPhone)”.
Photos
The app only receives the videos you pick, and the photo you pick for a widget. It can't see the rest of your library.
Screen mirroring
When you start screen mirroring, iOS records your screen and passes it to Car TV Max on the same iPhone, which shows it on your TV or, while the car is parked, on the car screen. It isn't saved or sent anywhere else.
Siri, widgets and Live Activities
Names of channels you play can appear in Siri, Shortcuts, widgets and Live Activities on your iPhone and in CarPlay. Siri requests are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.
Children
Car TV Max isn't made for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR give you rights over the personal data a company holds about you, such as seeing it or having it deleted. The usage numbers and crash reports aren't tied to your name or an account, so we can't look up which ones are yours. You can stop them at any time in Settings → Privacy, and reinstalling the app gives it a new random ID. Everything else the app keeps is on your iPhone, and you can delete it at any time as described above. For any question or request, email us.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If Car TV Max ever collects more than this page describes, we'll say so here before that version is released.
