Media Manager - Privacy Policy

Media Manager

Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 28, 2026 · Last updated: October 28, 2026

1. Media files and library information

With your permission, Media Manager accesses selected files and folders to identify media, build rename previews, rename files and related subtitles or artwork, display library health, and play previews. Information processed can include filenames, folder paths, titles, years, season and episode numbers, file attributes, artwork, and video or audio content.

For a local library, these operations happen on your device. For a paired library, the app sends requests to your selected desktop or server, which processes its library and returns information or streams media to your device. Media Manager does not operate a developer-hosted library storage or synchronization service, and does not send your media files to the developer as part of normal library operations.

2. Settings and information stored on your devices

The app may retain workspace settings, library locations, naming profiles, previous-session information, rename history, pairing information, update preferences, advertising choices, and temporary artwork or playback files. Rename history can include original and updated file paths and may be stored alongside the library on its host device.

API keys and connection credentials are used to authenticate requests to your chosen services. The current Windows session store uses Windows data protection; on other platforms, API keys and bearer tokens are omitted from the saved workspace session. Other platform-managed permissions, bookmarks, and app settings may persist. Avoid sharing pairing codes, QR invitations, or credentials with anyone you do not trust.

3. Metadata searches and artwork providers

When you use online matching or artwork features, the app contacts the provider you select, such as TVmaze, OMDb, TMDB, or a custom provider, and image hosts referenced by that provider. Requests may include search titles, a year when supplied, media identifiers, season or episode information, and your API key when required. Search terms may be derived from your library. Those services also receive connection information such as your IP address.

These services process requests under their own policies. A custom provider or a provider configured on a paired server may have different practices. Media files are not uploaded to metadata providers as part of title matching or artwork lookup.

4. Device pairing and remote connections

Pairing uses connection details and an invitation code to authorize a mobile device to access a desktop or server. A QR invitation may include the server address, certificate information, desktop name, and connection mode. QR camera images are processed on the device for scanning; Media Manager does not send the camera feed to the developer or advertising services for pairing.

A connected device can access library information, previews, and supported file operations permitted by the server. Remote hosting, proxies, and tunnels you choose may process traffic or connection logs under their own policies. Stopping sharing or revoking connection access prevents future access through that connection but does not erase information already downloaded by another device.

5. Mobile advertising

Android and iOS versions use Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK for native advertisements, interstitial advertisements, and optional rewarded advertisements. Advertising availability and formats depend on the build, device, region, and consent status.

Google and its advertising partners may collect or receive IP addresses and approximate location inferred from them, advertising or other device identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, app interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. They use this information to deliver and measure advertisements, support advertising analytics, and prevent fraud. Media Manager does not intentionally provide your library filenames, media content, API keys, or pairing credentials to advertising providers.

The app uses Google's consent tools to request privacy choices where applicable. Where required, advertising privacy options are available through the app's advertising controls. Device settings may also let you limit advertising identifiers or tracking. Non-personalized or limited ads may still involve data processing. An earned ad-free period does not itself erase data previously collected.

Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and Google's advertising information. Google's SDK disclosures describe Android data handling and iOS data handling.

6. Updates, diagnostics, and support

Desktop update checks contact GitHub to retrieve release information and may download update packages. GitHub and its delivery infrastructure receive ordinary request information, including your IP address. You can manage update checking in the app's update settings. See the GitHub Privacy Statement.

Media Manager does not include a separate developer-operated analytics or crash-report upload service. Advertising SDKs and operating-system or app-store diagnostic services can collect diagnostics under their own settings and policies. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email, message, screenshots, or logs. Please remove private paths, credentials, and media details before sending diagnostic material.

7. Permissions

Files and folders: access to libraries you select for organizing media and managing related files.
Camera: scanning pairing QR codes when you choose that feature.
Network: metadata searches, artwork, paired-server connections, updates, and mobile advertising.
Notifications: operation-completion notifications where supported and authorized.
You can revoke permissions through your device settings. Some features will then be unavailable. Media Manager does not request precise GPS location for its library features.

8. Retention and deletion

Settings, profiles, and history remain on the device or library host until removed, replaced, or cleared. Temporary playback and artwork caches may remain until cleanup or removal of app data; saved artwork remains in your library until you delete it. Removing the app may leave library files, history, desktop settings, or operating-system backups behind.

To remove local app information, clear app storage where your operating system provides that option, or remove Media Manager's settings and cache files. Delete library-side history and saved artwork separately if desired, on each relevant device or server. These actions do not undo completed renames. You can contact us for help locating app data. Media Manager does not require a developer-hosted user account to use its library features.

We retain support correspondence as needed to address your request and meet applicable legal obligations, then delete it or remove identifying information when no longer needed. To request deletion of correspondence, email us. Third-party providers and app stores control their own retention; use their privacy controls or contact them to request deletion of data they hold.

9. Sharing, security, and international processing

We do not sell library files or operate a library-data brokerage. Information is disclosed to the providers and servers needed for features you use, to parties you choose to contact, or where required by applicable law. Advertising partners may process data for their own purposes as described above.

The app uses HTTPS for supported remote pairing and online services and applies platform protections where implemented. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. You control the security of your devices, API keys, selected servers, and any remote-access services. Providers may process information in countries other than your own under their respective policies and safeguards.

10. Your choices and privacy rights

You can choose which library to access, which provider to use, whether to pair devices, and which optional online features to enable. You can revoke device permissions, manage advertising choices, and remove stored information as explained above.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or complain to your local data-protection authority. Contact us about information we hold. For information held by Google, an app store, or your selected provider or server operator, contact that organization as well.

11. Children

Media Manager is a general-purpose media-library tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as features, providers, or legal requirements change. The updated policy will show a new revision date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request consent for material changes.
