Effective date: 12 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how EXATECH LABS LTD, the company that operates AppStudio X (“we”, “us” or “our”), handles information when you use the CarStream iOS application (the “App”).
EXATECH LABS LTD is a private limited company registered in England under company number 14755111. Its registered office is 37 Downhills Way, London, England, N17 6AN.
CarStream is designed to keep your data on your device. There is no CarStream account, no CarStream server, and no analytics collected by us.
1. What stays on your device
Your library—the channels, films and programmes from the sources you add—is stored in a database on your device and is never transmitted to us.
Usernames, passwords and access tokens for your providers are stored in the iOS Keychain. They are never written to the App’s database and never sent anywhere except the provider they belong to.
Thumbnail images captured while checking your channels are stored in the App’s cache directory and can be cleared by removing a source.
2. Who your device talks to
Your media providers
When you add an M3U playlist, an Xtream portal, or a Jellyfin or Emby server, your device connects directly to that provider using the address and credentials you supplied. CarStream is not an intermediary and does not see or relay this traffic. The provider’s own terms and privacy practices apply to its service.
3. What we never collect
We do not collect your viewing history, the names of your channels, the addresses of your providers or your credentials. We operate no server that could receive them.
CarStream 1.0 is free and contains no in-app purchases or subscriptions. It does not include third-party purchase, advertising, analytics or tracking SDKs.
4. Camera
CarStream can scan a QR code to read a playlist link, so you do not have to type a long address. The camera is used only while that scanner is open, and images are never stored or transmitted.
5. Content
CarStream does not provide, host, index or endorse any media. It plays only the sources you choose to add. You are responsible for having the right to access them.
6. Deleting your data
Removing a source deletes its channels, cached thumbnails and stored credentials from your device. Deleting CarStream removes everything the App has stored.
7. Children
CarStream is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
8. Changes to this policy
If this Privacy Policy changes materially, we will update it in the App and revise the effective date above.
