Privacy policy
Last updated 11 November 2026.
SofaSpud is a live TV app for Apple TV, made by Andy Bridson in the Isle of Man. This policy covers the app and the website at sofaspud.app.
SofaSpud includes no channels or content. It has no accounts, it does not sell data, and it does not show advertising.
The website
sofaspud.app is a static website. It does not use analytics or advertising, and it has no sign-up form. A normal visit does not receive a cookie from this site. Email to hello@sofaspud.app is ordinary email. The website does not store that message.
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes connection data, such as an IP address and the page requested, in order to serve and protect the site. That processing is described in Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
The app
SofaSpud runs on your Apple TV. To show a guide and play video, you add your own source:
- an Xtream Codes server address, username and password, or
- the address of an M3U playlist and, if you use one, an XMLTV guide.
Those details are stored on the Apple TV so the app can connect. They are not sent to a SofaSpud server. SofaSpud does not operate your IPTV service, and it does not receive a copy of what you watch.
Listings and video come from your source to your Apple TV. The app also keeps the following on the device:
- the sources you add
- favourites, and choices such as which categories are shown
- a playback position, where a programme can be resumed
- a parental PIN, if you set one
SofaSpud has no server of its own that stores this. It is not used for advertising.
Where a source supports recording, a recording is made and stored by that source, not by SofaSpud.
Playback uses Apple’s player where the stream allows it. Where it does not, the app plays the stream with a player included in SofaSpud. Either way, playback stays on your Apple TV.
Other people’s services
Your IPTV provider, and Apple, handle data under their own terms. SofaSpud does not control that.
Children
SofaSpud is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change. The current version is always at sofaspud.app/privacy.
