GishPlayer

Privacy Policy & Terms

Effective November 7, 2026

GishPlayer (“GishPlayer”, “we”, “us”) plays video files on your device and video streams from addresses you enter. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it. In short: your videos and what you watch stay on your device. There are no accounts, no advertising and no analytics or tracking.

Your videos stay on your device

  • Files you open are read on your device. On iPhone and iPad, a file you open is copied into the app so it can be played again later; you can delete it from the library at any time.
  • Your library (the names of the videos you played, where you stopped, favorites, and per-video settings such as subtitle delays) and your settings are stored only on your device. We never receive them.
  • Subtitle files you add are stored on your device next to your library.

Streams

When you play a stream, the app connects directly to the address you entered. That server, not us, receives your IP address and the request, under its own policies. A username and password you enter for a protected server are sent only to that server and, if you choose “Remember”, saved on your device.

What we receive

  • Update checks: when the app opens it asks our server whether a newer version exists, sending the app version and platform (iOS or Android). Our server, like any web server, sees the IP address of the request. This is not linked to you or to anything you watch.
  • Nothing else. We do not collect names, contacts, location, what you watch, or device identifiers for advertising.

Permissions

  • Files: only the files you choose, or open in the app from elsewhere, are accessed.
  • Screen brightness: changed only while you swipe on the player.
  • Network: used only for streams you enter and update checks.

Terms of use

  • Use the app only with videos and streams you have the right to watch. You are responsible for the content you open; GishPlayer does not provide, host or index any videos.
  • Do not use the app to break the law or to infringe anyone’s rights.
  • The app is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.

Children

The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes in substance, the app asks you to accept the new version. Questions: support@gishplayer.live.
