Privacy & Data Protection Policy

FlixFox was built for the family television, the screen a household gathers around in the evening, and the same care that goes into that shared experience goes into keeping it private. This policy explains how FlixFox handles data for viewers across India, prepared in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and the Information Technology Act, 2000. It holds whether FlixFox is opened on a personal Android phone or on the Android TV or Fire TV Stick in the living room.

Free to watch, with nothing to register

FlixFox is free, and it asks for no account. There is no sign-up form, no email or phone number to hand over, and no personal profile built in the background. Every member of the household browses the directory, opens a film, and starts 1080p playback as a guest. Because no identity is collected in the first place, there is nothing about any viewer that could later be exposed, sold, or lost. On a screen the whole family shares, keeping things private begins with not gathering the data at all.

Language preferences, kept on the device

To suit a household that may speak more than one language, FlixFox lets you set a preference across Hindi, English, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. That choice is written only to the local storage on your own device. FlixFox does not compile it into a household profile or a behavioural record. Instead, the preference quietly shapes the home-screen rows you see first, matches regional audio where a title offers it, and brings the right subtitles forward in the player, without sending any viewing habits to an outside advertising network.

The technical data the app reads

So that playback stays smooth on the big screen and on every phone in the house, FlixFox reads a small set of non-identifying technical details: the device model, the installed Android version, the screen resolution, and available memory. These describe the device rather than the person watching, and they let the player match stream quality to the hardware so a family film does not stall at the wrong moment. None of this can be traced back to an individual viewer.

Advertising

FlixFox is kept free through light, standard advertising supplied by established third-party networks such as Google AdMob. These networks may use the anonymous Android Advertising ID to manage how often an ad appears; that identifier carries no name, address, or contact detail, and its use is governed by each network's own privacy policy. You can reset it or switch it off at any time in your Android privacy settings. FlixFox itself builds no advertising profile of the household and shares no viewing history for ad targeting.

Desktop use and sandbox isolation

FlixFox is built natively and only for Android, including Android phones, Android TVs, and Fire TV Stick devices. It is not a native Windows or macOS application. Where a viewer runs the FlixFox APK on a desktop through a third-party Android emulator such as BlueStacks or LDPlayer, it operates inside that emulator's isolated sandbox. FlixFox cannot read, scan, or alter the host computer's own operating system, local drives, browser history, or personal files.

Your data rights and the Grievance Officer

Because everything FlixFox stores sits on your own device, you keep full control of it. Clearing the app's cache or wiping its storage from the Android settings menu removes saved search history, tokens, and language preferences at once, and uninstalling removes the rest. In keeping with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, FlixFox has appointed a Grievance Officer to handle privacy concerns. A request lodged through our online contact form is acknowledged within 24 hours and reviewed within the statutory 15-day window.
