Apple TV Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026

Introduction

The fomo app for Apple TV (“fomo for Apple TV,” “the TV app”) is a companion viewer for your existing fomo account. It lets you sign in on your television and watch the photos, videos, and posts shared within your circles on the big screen. It is a view-only experience — you cannot post, capture, message, or enter personal information on the TV.

This policy explains how the Apple TV app specifically handles your information. For the complete picture of how your fomo account, posts, and personal data are collected, used, and protected across fomo, please read our main Privacy Policy. The TV app draws on that same account and is governed by it; this page only covers what is different on Apple TV.

Pairing & Sign-In

To use the TV app, you link it to your existing fomo account. The television displays a short, one-time pairing code, and you confirm that code in the fomo app on your phone to authorize the TV. We use this only to establish a secure session between your television and your account.

You never enter your password, email, or any personal details on the TV itself — authorization happens on your phone, where you are already signed in. You can unlink a television at any time from Connect to TV in the fomo phone app, which immediately ends that TV’s access to your account.

Information the TV App Accesses

Once paired, the TV app accesses only what is needed to display your content:

  • Account session. A secure authentication token that identifies your account so we can load your content. You enter no personal data on the TV to obtain it.
  • Your circles and their media. The photos, videos, and posts shared in the circles you belong to, so they can be shown on screen.
  • Basic device & diagnostic data. Standard technical information such as device model, tvOS version, app version, and crash/performance logs, used to keep the app working and fix problems. This may be processed by Apple and by our infrastructure provider, Google Firebase.

The TV app has no access to a camera or microphone and does not collect your contacts, precise location, or advertising identifiers.

How We Use It

We use this information solely to:

  • Authenticate your TV session and keep you signed in;
  • Load and display the content from the circles you belong to; and
  • Maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Apple TV app.

We do not use any of this information for advertising, and we do not sell it.

What the TV App Does Not Do

  • No posting or capture. There is no camera, photo upload, or content creation on the TV.
  • No personal-data entry. You never type your name, email, password, or payment information on the TV.
  • No ads or ad tracking. The TV app shows no advertisements and uses no advertising identifiers or cross-app tracking.
  • No selling or sharing for ads. We do not sell your information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your information. To operate, the TV app relies on service providers that process data on our behalf — principally Apple (app distribution and device services) and Google Firebase (authentication, database, and hosting). These providers are bound to use the data only to provide their services to us. See the “Sharing Your Information” section of the main Privacy Policy for full details.

Data Storage & Security

Your account content is stored and secured the same way as in the main fomo service — encrypted in transit, with access controlled by your account. The pairing session is a revocable token tied to your account, not a stored copy of your credentials. See “Data Storage & Security” in the main Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

The pairing/session token persists only while your television remains linked; unlinking the TV from Connect to TV in the phone app revokes it immediately. Diagnostic and crash data are retained on the same schedule described in the main Privacy Policy. Your posts and account data follow the retention rules in the main Privacy Policy and are unaffected by the TV app.

Children’s Privacy

fomo is not directed to children, and the same age requirement that applies to the fomo app applies to the Apple TV app. See “Children’s Privacy” and “Age Requirement” in the main Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Apple TV Privacy Policy from time to time. We will reflect any material changes here and update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
