AX Player Privacy Policy

This policy covers AX Player: All Format 4K Video for Android and AX Player for Windows (together "AX Player"), made by Alornix Technologies Private Limited ("Alornix", "we") in Kochi, Kerala, India. It explains what the apps do with the information on your phone or PC, and what, if anything, leaves it. Where the two differ, the Windows section below says so.

In short

AX Player has no accounts, no ads and no analytics or tracking tools. Your videos, music, history and settings stay on your phone. We do not collect, sell or share personal information.

What stays on your phone

With your permission, AX Player reads the videos and music on your device so it can list and play them. Your history (resume points and watched marks), playlists, settings and thumbnails are stored only in the app's own storage on your phone. You can switch history off, use incognito mode or clear it in Settings → Privacy & security.

Private Folder: files you move into it are kept in the app's private storage on your phone. Your PIN is stored only as a salted one-way hash, never as the PIN itself. If you turn on fingerprint or face unlock, Android checks it; the app never receives your biometric data.

Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes all of this, including the files in the Private Folder. Restore them first (Private Folder ⋮ → Restore all).

When the app uses the internet

News, festive looks and the update check: a few times a day the app downloads a small file from api.alornix.com with festival greetings, app news and the latest version number. The request contains only the app's name and version. Like any internet request, it reaches our server from your IP address; we do not log these requests or keep that address. You can turn the news and festive file off in Settings → Privacy & security.

More apps: if you open the "More apps" row on the Me tab, the app loads a list of other Alornix apps from api.alornix.com in the same way, with nothing about you in the request. The row can be hidden in Settings → Privacy & security.

Online subtitles, only when you search for them: the app sends OpenSubtitles.com the video's title or file name, a fingerprint of the video file (a "hash" worked out from its size and parts of its content, not the file itself) and the languages you chose. If you sign in to your own OpenSubtitles account, your username and password go straight to OpenSubtitles; the app keeps only the sign-in token on your phone, never your password. OpenSubtitles' own privacy policy applies to their service.

Streams and your own network: when you open a web address, a playlist or a shared folder on your network, the app connects directly to the address you chose. None of it passes through us.

Links you tap, such as alornix.com, WhatsApp or Google Play, open in those apps or your browser under their own policies.

Permissions

Photos and videos, and Music and audio (Storage on older Android): to find and play your media. If you allow only some videos, the app shows only those.

Notifications: playback controls on the lock screen and in the notification shade.

Internet, network and Wi-Fi state, Wi-Fi multicast: for the features above, and to find media servers on your own network when you use that feature.

Foreground service and wake lock: to keep playing when you leave the app or the screen turns off. Biometric: to unlock the Private Folder, if you turn it on. Audio settings: for the equalizer and volume boost.

Crash reports

If the app crashes, Google Play may give us crash and performance reports (Android vitals) from phones whose owners have chosen to share usage and diagnostics with app developers. Google handles these under its own privacy policy, and we use them only to fix problems.

AX Player for Windows

The Windows app works the same way, with these differences. It lists the videos and music in the folders you choose in Settings → Library (your Videos, Downloads and Music folders at first); it needs no special permissions. History, settings, the library list and thumbnails stay in the app's folder on your PC, and screenshots you take are saved to Pictures\AX Player.

Its news, festive looks and update check come from api.alornix.com in the same way as on Android, with only the app's name and version in the request, and can be turned off in Settings → Privacy. Online subtitles work as described above. While something plays, Windows shows its title in the media controls on your PC; this stays on your PC.

If the Windows app crashes, Microsoft may share crash reports with us through Partner Center, from PCs whose owners allow Windows to send diagnostic data. Microsoft handles these under its own privacy statement. There is no Private Folder in the Windows app.

Children

AX Player is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Security

Connections to our servers use HTTPS, and the news file is digitally signed, so the app ignores anything that did not come from us.

Your data and choices

Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing on our side to access, correct, export or delete. Everything the app keeps is on your phone and under your control. If you have a question or request, contact us below.

Changes

If the app changes how it handles information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
