Privacy policy.
Your server. Your library.
Here’s how information is handled.
Effective date: 2026-11-08
This policy covers the Cinevyr app and its product and support website. Cinevyr is an independent client for a Jellyfin server you choose. It does not provide a hosted media account or a playable movie catalog. The app and website have different data flows, described below.
App and website operator
Cinevyr is operated by Mathieu Dumoulin. For privacy questions about the app, website, or support messages, contact matt@thestarlordz.com. Your chosen Jellyfin server is operated separately by its administrator.
The native app
The Cinevyr app does not send your account, searches, viewing activity, or downloads to a Cinevyr-operated service. It includes no advertising, analytics, or tracking SDK and does not sell personal data. The Jellyfin server you choose has its own operator and privacy practices.
Your Jellyfin server
When you connect, your username and password are sent to your chosen server to authenticate. The app then uses the server-issued access token and user ID to browse, search, stream, download, manage favorites, and report playback status and progress. A randomly generated installation identifier and the Cinevyr app version identify its Jellyfin session. The server also receives normal connection information, such as your IP address.
Your server administrator and its hosting providers may retain account, search, device, request, download, and playback records. Cinevyr does not control that server’s retention or access. Ask its administrator about its privacy practices before connecting. HTTPS protects data in transit; if you configure an HTTP address, traffic, including credentials and media, may be unencrypted.
On your device
The app does not save your password. It saves your server address/name, username, user ID, and access token in Apple’s Keychain using device-only protection. The installation identifier and preferences are saved locally. Library information and artwork are loaded to display your media.
On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, downloads, media metadata, transfer history, and partial-download resume information are stored in the app’s storage. Resume information may contain details of the authorized download request. The downloads directory is marked to be excluded from system backups. Apple TV does not offer persistent offline downloads.
Apple system features
Cinevyr uses Apple’s networking, media playback, Keychain, widgets, controls, and Live Activities. Widgets and controls are library/download launchers and do not receive server credentials. Download Live Activities can display a title and progress on the Lock Screen and other supported system surfaces. Their updates are generated locally, without a Cinevyr push service. You can manage their visibility through your device’s settings. Apple services and any system diagnostics you choose to share are governed by Apple’s policies and your settings.
Your choices and deletion
Delete a download in Cinevyr to remove its local file and download record. Signing out removes the saved Cinevyr session from Keychain and attempts to log out of the server; it leaves downloaded files on the device. Reconnect to the same server/account to manage those files. Sign out and delete downloads before removing the app if you want to clear them. Removing the app is not a request to delete a Jellyfin account or server records; Keychain items can also persist independently of app installation. Contact the server administrator to delete that account or its retained records.
This website
The Cinevyr website is served by Google Firebase Hosting. When you visit, Google processes request and connection information, including your IP address, to deliver and protect the site and provide hosting usage information. Firebase’s published privacy information describes its handling and retention. The site does not use advertising, visitor analytics, account sign-in, a contact form, or a customer database. We do not use the website to connect to your Jellyfin server.
Contacting support
If you email matt@thestarlordz.com, the address you send from, your message, and any attachments are handled through our email provider so we can investigate and respond. Send only what is needed for your request. Do not include your password, access token, or private media files. Email that address for questions about these messages or a request concerning them.
Contact and changes
For questions about Cinevyr’s handling of data, email matt@thestarlordz.com. Questions about a server’s records should go to its administrator. This policy will be updated if Cinevyr’s data practices change.
