Legal
Last updated: 19 October 2026
This policy covers two things: the MaliceTV app and this website (malicetv.com). It is operated by HaagLabs (haagonthis), an individual developer based in the United States. Contact: haagonthis@gmail.com.
The MaliceTV app has no accounts, no sign-in, and no advertising or analytics SDKs. We cannot see what you watch, play, cook or listen to. There are only these small, specific exceptions:
The app saves the following locally, in Android's private app storage, and never sends it to us (apart from what you choose to sync, above):
Uninstalling the app removes all of it.
MaliceTV Pro is a one-time in-app purchase sold and processed entirely by Google Play. Payment and billing information is handled by Google under Google's own privacy policy — we never see or store your card or payment details. We only receive a signal from Google confirming whether the purchase is owned, which the app uses to unlock Pro features. Refunds are handled through Google Play (see our Refund Policy).
The app makes requests directly from your device to the services below. We do not proxy, log or intercept them. Each has its own privacy policy and will receive your IP address, as with any internet request:
MaliceTV uses YouTube API Services. Trailers, Trailer Shuffle and recipe videos play in YouTube's own embedded player. When one plays, your device connects to YouTube (Google) directly, and Google may collect information such as your IP address, device details and how you use the player, and may store cookies or similar data in the player, as described in the Google Privacy Policy. YouTube may also show ads in its player. MaliceTV doesn't sign you in to YouTube, doesn't access your YouTube or Google account, and doesn't receive or keep anything about what you watch there. Before a trailer plays, the app may ask YouTube whether that video can be shown in an app (a public check that sends only the video's address).
By using these features you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Trailers that start on their own can be turned off in Settings, and recipe videos in Food only start on their own if you turn on Settings › Recipe videos in Food.
On the search screens you can press the 🎤 button and say what you're looking for instead of typing it. The first time, Android asks whether MaliceTV may use the microphone; you can say no and keep typing. When you press 🎤, your voice is passed to your device's own speech service (on most TV boxes and phones this is Google's), which turns it into text under that provider's own privacy policy — for Google, the Google Privacy Policy. The words appear in the search box and are searched exactly as if you had typed them. MaliceTV never records, saves or sends your voice to us. The microphone is used only while 🎤 is listening: it starts when you press 🎤 and stops when you stop talking (or press 🎤 again). This is not Google Assistant.
MaliceTV includes original content we made: games (such as The Pirate Voyage) and original music. These are hosted by us on Cloudflare and load over an ordinary web request. Playing them sends no information about you beyond fetching the file.
Apart from our own content above, the app ships empty: it includes no film or TV catalog, no channels and no media sources. Any add-on, source list or debrid service is added by you, at your discretion. What you choose to connect is your responsibility and subject to the laws where you live.
To save typing long links on a TV remote, the app can start a small web page on your local network so you can paste text or upload a file from a phone or computer. It runs only while that screen is open, is reachable only from your own network, requires a random PIN shown on your TV, and sends nothing to the internet.
This website sets no cookies of its own that track you. A few things use optional third parties, and each is worth calling out:
The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which may process standard server logs (including IP addresses) for security and delivery, as is normal for any website.
MaliceTV is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including anyone under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). Kids profiles are a parental-control feature: they let a parent limit what a child sees on a shared device (by age rating, behind a parental PIN). They collect nothing about the child, and the PIN is stored only on the device, never sent to us.
MaliceTV (by malicelabs) keeps only two kinds of data on its servers, and you can have both deleted:
Email haagonthis@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my data". We delete it within 30 days and confirm by email. Nothing else about you is kept on our servers, so there is nothing else to delete.
Because the app collects no personal data (only the app-specific device ID and, if you turn it on, the synced lists described above) and the website collects only what you voluntarily send us via the bug form, there is little to access or delete. To have your trial record or synced data deleted, email us. If you emailed us or used the bug form and want your message deleted, contact haagonthis@gmail.com and we'll remove it. Depending on where you live (for example, California), you may have rights to access or delete personal information; email us to exercise them.
The app requests internet access, network state, storage access for your own media and downloads, and notification permission so downloads can show progress. None of these are used to gather information about you. If you choose to allow it, the app also uses the microphone for voice search — only while the 🎤 button is listening, with the audio going to your device's own speech service and never to us (see "Voice search" above). You can turn it off any time in Android's app settings.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
