This policy explains how FDS Digital Store, Pakistan ("FDS", "we") handles information in the FDS IPTV Player app (also called FDS Stream Player), its licensing service and this website.
- Your playlist links, Xtream Codes server, username or password
- Your channel lists, programme guide or what you watch
- Your contacts, photos, files, location, microphone or camera
1. Information we process
The app talks to one FDS server, our licensing service at license.fdsdigitalstore.com. It sends only:
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Email address | Asked when you first open the app; also used for purchases, activation emails and Premium restore. |
| Device identifier | A one-way hashed code made from your device's Android ID and model. We store a further hash of it, never the raw Android ID. |
| Device label and app version | For example "Samsung SM-A546E" and the app build number, so you can recognise your devices and we can support old versions. |
| Licence and activation data | Plan, status, expiry, activation dates, last check-in time, and hashed activation tokens and licence keys. |
| Purchase references | Website order reference, or for Google Play the purchase token and product (stored encrypted), so we can verify and restore purchases. |
| One-time codes | When you restore Premium we email you a 6-digit code. It is stored only as a hash and expires after 10 minutes. |
| Network address | Used briefly, in hashed form, to rate-limit trials and code requests against abuse. We do not store raw IP addresses in our licence records. |
When you buy on fdsdigitalstore.com, the store also processes your order and payment details under the FDS Digital Store Privacy Policy.
2. Why we use it
- To give each new device one free trial and prevent trial abuse
- To activate, verify, renew and restore Premium on your device
- To send your activation key and verification codes by email
- To provide customer support, and to protect the service from fraud and attacks
We do not use this information for advertising, and we do not build viewing profiles.
3. Information that stays on your device
These are stored only on your phone or TV, inside the app's private storage, and are removed if you clear the app's data or uninstall it:
- Playlists and logins: server addresses, usernames and passwords are encrypted with a key held in Android's secure Keystore.
- Offline downloads: saved encrypted and playable only inside the app.
- Your library and settings: favourites, continue watching and resume positions, category order, theme and download preferences, a temporary catalogue cache, and your parental PIN (stored as a hash, not the PIN itself).
When you play something, the app connects directly to your own IPTV provider. That provider's privacy policy applies to those connections, and FDS does not see them.
4. Who we share information with
- Google Play: for in-app purchases. Google handles payment; we ask Google to confirm the purchase is valid.
- Service providers: our web hosting and email delivery providers, who process data only to run our service. The website Restore Premium page uses Cloudflare Turnstile to block bots.
- Authorised resellers: if a reseller registered you, that reseller can see your email and the licence they issued.
- Legal reasons: if required by law or to protect our users and service from fraud.
5. How long we keep it
We keep licence, activation and purchase records while your trial or licence exists and afterwards as needed to prevent repeat trials and fraud, handle refunds and disputes, and meet accounting obligations. One-time codes expire in 10 minutes and rate-limit records expire within a week. You can ask us to delete your records at any time (see section 7).
6. Security
All app traffic to FDS uses HTTPS, and every licence reply is digitally signed so it cannot be faked. Licence keys, activation tokens and device codes are stored as one-way hashes, and Google Play purchase tokens are encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
7. Your choices and rights
- Access or correct: ask us what we hold about your email or device.
- Delete: ask us to delete your licensing records. Deleting an active licence ends Premium on that device, and the device may not receive another free trial.
- On your device: remove playlists in the app, or clear the app's data to erase everything stored locally.
Send requests to [email protected] from the email you used. We reply as soon as possible, normally within 30 days.
8. This website
player.fdsdigitalstore.com does not run advertising or analytics trackers of its own. Pages load fonts from Google Fonts and a small scrolling script from a public CDN, which see your IP address like any website request. Our hosting may keep standard server logs for security. Clicking the WhatsApp button opens WhatsApp, where WhatsApp's privacy policy applies.
9. Children
FDS IPTV Player is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. Parents can use the app's parental PIN to lock adult content.
10. Changes
We will update this page when our practices change, and the date at the top will show the latest version.
