Privacy policy

The short version

Lazy Channel doesn't sell or share your data. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and there's no Lazy Channel account. The only things that ever reach us are anonymous error reports (which you can turn off) and feedback you choose to send.

Your media

Lazy Channel connects directly to the Plex, Jellyfin or Emby server you choose and streams from it. Your library, your listings and your viewing never pass through our servers; we don't operate any.

What's stored, and where

Your channels, profiles, settings and the watch history Autopilot uses are stored on your Apple TV and synced through your own iCloud account, so your other Apple TVs show the same lineup. Server sign-ins are kept in the Apple TV Keychain. We can't see any of it.

Remote and agent control

Remote & Agents is off until you turn it on. When it's on, Lazy Channel answers requests on your home network only, and only from devices you approve on the TV. An approved device, including an AI assistant you connect through the Lazy Channel MCP bridge, can see your channels, the guide and what's playing, and can change channels, your lineup and settings.

If you use an AI assistant, that information goes to the assistant's provider under their terms; Lazy Channel itself sends nothing anywhere. Remove a device at any time in Settings › Remote & Agents.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your data stays until you delete it. Settings › Erase All Lazy Channel Data removes your channels, profiles, watch history, server sign-ins and paired devices from this Apple TV and from your iCloud. Deleting the app removes what's stored on this Apple TV.

Error reports

When something goes wrong, Lazy Channel can send an anonymous report: the kind of error, where in the app it happened, how many times, and the app and tvOS versions. Reports contain no names, titles, addresses, sign-ins or identifiers, can't be linked to you or to each other, are kept to the hour, and are deleted after 90 days. Turn them off in Settings › Help Improve Lazy Channel.

Feedback

If you send feedback, we receive what you wrote and, if you choose, a short activity log with sign-ins, addresses and email removed. If you add your email, we use it only to reply. Feedback is deleted 90 days after it's resolved.

Purchases

Purchases and subscriptions are handled by Apple. We receive no payment details.

Children

Lazy Channel isn't directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
