Privacy Policy – TV Remote for Samsung
TV Remote for Samsung is a remote control for Samsung TVs. This policy explains what the app does with data. Published by Youth Education Group. Package: ir.remote.smg.tv1. Effective: 5 November 2026.
What the app collects
No account and no sign-in. The app itself does not read your contacts, photos, files, location or phone identity.
What stays on your phone
Your settings (theme, remote view, haptic feedback, full screen, custom buttons), the IP address you typed, the end of an ad-free period you earned, and the last TV you used (its name, IP address, network MAC address and the access token the TV issued). This is stored in the app's private storage. Clear app data or uninstall to remove local private data. Android backup and device-transfer settings may also apply.
Talking to your TV
Key presses, typed text and app-launch requests go only to the TV you picked, directly over your home network (or as infrared light). To find TVs the app sends a standard discovery message (SSDP) on your local network; to switch a TV on it may send a Wake-on-LAN packet. Nothing about what you watch or press is sent to us.
Ads
The free app shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect the advertising ID, IP address and device information. Where the law requires it (EEA, UK, Switzerland) the app asks for your consent first with Google's consent form, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in Android's settings. Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
App settings download
When it starts, the app downloads its ad and update settings from our configuration server. The request contains the app version, a random install ID made by the app (not linked to you) and normal connection data (IP address, device model and Android version).
Notifications
Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) registers an app installation and push token to deliver announcements. Displaying notifications is optional; turning notification display off does not itself stop installation registration. This uses a push token and topics for your country, language and app version. You can turn notifications off at any time in Android's settings.
Updates
On phones with Google Play, the app asks Google Play whether a newer version is available and may offer to install it.
Permissions
Internet and network state (to talk to the TV on your Wi-Fi and load ads and settings), Wi-Fi multicast (to find TVs), infrared (only on phones with an IR blaster), vibration (haptic feedback), notifications (only if you allow them) and the advertising ID (ads).
Data retention and security
Our configuration service and Google may retain installation identifiers, request data and advertising or diagnostic data under their policies. Internet requests for configuration, ads and messaging use encrypted connections. TV discovery and some older TV control protocols use unencrypted traffic within your local network. Contact support for privacy questions. We do not operate user accounts or a service that stores your TV commands.
Children
The app is intended for teens and adults aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13.
Trademarks
Samsung is a trademark of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. This app is not made, endorsed or supported by Samsung.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be shown in the app and on its store page. Questions: contact Youth Education Group at info@heaven-overseas.com.
