Privacy Policy
Last updated: Oct 7, 2025
1. Introduction
Mancave Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively "Mancave", "us", "we", or "our") operates the Mancave mobile application, which allows users to connect to HDHomeRun devices, stream live TV content via HLS playlists or Xtream Codes API, and play their own media content (our "Services").
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how we collect, process, share and safeguard Personal Data that is collected through or in connection with the Services. It also tells you about your rights and choices with respect to your Personal Data, and how you can contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
2. Data We Collect
We collect minimal data. In this Policy, "Personal Data" means any information related to an identified or identifiable individual.
Login Information
When you create an account with us, we collect your email address and password (stored securely) to authenticate your access to the Services.
Customization Preferences
We store your in-app preferences and settings, such as theme selections, layout configurations, favorite channels, and EPG preferences, to provide a personalized experience across sessions.
What We Do Not Collect
All content you configure — including playlists, HLS URLs, Xtream Codes API credentials, HDHomeRun device configurations, and any media you stream or play — is stored locally on your device. Mancave does not transmit, store, or have access to this content on our servers. We do not track, log, or store the specific content you watch or stream.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the limited data we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain the Services. We use your login information to authenticate your account and your customization preferences to deliver a personalized experience.
- To provide support. If you contact us for help, we may use your account information to respond to and resolve your inquiry.
- To communicate with you. We may send you service-related announcements, updates, and security alerts.
- To improve the Services. We may use anonymized, aggregated usage patterns to improve app performance and reliability. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
- To comply with legal obligations. We may process data as necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal requests.
4. How We Share Your Data
We do not sell your Personal Data. We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, and customer support. These providers only access data necessary to perform their services and are obligated to protect it.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required by law or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Mancave, our users, or the public.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

- Deletion of your Personal Data. You can delete your account at any time in your account settings.

6. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
7. Data Retention
We retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to provide the Services and fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. When you delete your account, we will delete your login information and customization preferences in accordance with our retention procedures and applicable laws.
8. Security
We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. No Content Storage
Mancave does not host, store, cache, or transmit any media content that you stream or play through the application. All content is sourced from your own devices (such as HDHomeRun), user-configured playlists, or third-party URLs that you provide. All of this data remains local to your device. We have no access to, control over, or responsibility for the content you choose to access through the application.
10. Links to Other Sites
The Services may redirect you to official streaming apps or other sites that are not operated by us. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site or app you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
11. Changes to This Policy
We will update this Policy from time to time. Please review this Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by other reasonable means.
