Privacy policy

Last updated: 30 July 2026

Ostora Online asks for no account, no name, no email and no phone number. There is no sign-in and no profile.

What stays only on your device

• Your favourites and the items you've hidden.
• Your settings: language, theme, picture-in-picture, fullscreen.
• The cached search index.

These are written to the app's private storage on your phone and are not sent anywhere. Uninstalling the app deletes them with it.

What is sent

We use Google Firebase for three things, none of which carries your name or identifies you personally:

• Crash reports (Crashlytics) — when the app stops, it sends the error trace, your device model and Android version, so the fault can be fixed.
• Usage statistics (Analytics) — which screens were opened, which library was used, and whether a stream played or failed and why. That last one is specifically what shows us which channels have gone down at the provider's end.
• Notifications (Cloud Messaging) — a random device token so we can tell you about a new version. It is not tied to you, and it changes if you clear the app's data.

How to turn statistics off

Settings → Privacy → turn off "Usage statistics". With it off the app sends no statistics and no crash reports, and everything else keeps working.

Ads

The app is free and is funded by ads served through Start.io, which may use your device's advertising ID to make ads more relevant. You can reset or switch that ID off in Android Settings → Google → Ads.

You can also watch one video inside the app to stop ad breaks for two hours.

Content

The app is a video player. Stream links come from third-party providers; we host no content and own none of it. When you play a channel your device connects to that provider's server directly, and that connection is governed by their policy, not ours.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data about them.
