Privacy Policy
Deodar
Deodar is an Android TV app that shows the live streams from a network video recorder (NVR) that you own and configure yourself. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your data.
No data is collected
Deodar does not collect, transmit to the developer, or share with any third party any personal data, usage data, or camera footage. There are no servers operated by the developer, no user accounts, no analytics software, no crash reporting services, no trackers, and no advertising.
Nothing about your use of the app — what cameras you view, when, or your NVR configuration — is ever sent anywhere the developer, or anyone else, can see it.
The one permission the app uses
Deodar requests a single Android permission: INTERNET. It is used solely to connect to the NVR address you enter in Settings, over your own local network. The app makes no other network connections.
Where your credentials go
Credentials you enter — your NVR's username and password — are sent off the device only to your own recorder, on your own network, in order to open the RTSP video streams you've asked to view. They are never sent to the developer, to any analytics or advertising service, or to any server other than the NVR address you configured. There is no cloud relay and no intermediary of any kind.
How your credentials are stored
Your NVR password is encrypted on-device with an AES-256-GCM key held in the Android Keystore. It is decrypted only to build the stream URL sent to your NVR, and it is never written to logs or shown in error messages. allowBackup is disabled for the app, so this data is never included in Android's automatic backup mechanism.
Camera footage
Video and audio streams are decoded and displayed on your TV only. Deodar does not record, store, or transmit your camera footage anywhere.
Third parties
Deodar does not integrate any third-party SDKs for analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or any other purpose.
Open source
Deodar's source code is public so that every claim in this policy is checkable rather than taken on trust.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated and the new version published at the same URL.
