Privacy Policy
This policy explains how M3U8 Player handles information when you use the browser-based HLS player, validator, converter, playlist manager, and related pages.
Last updated: June 22, 2026
Short version
No account
You can use the tools without creating an account, signing in, or providing a profile.
Browser-first processing
Playback, conversion, subtitles, history, favorites, and playlist editing run on your device where possible.
Optional proxy
When you enable the CORS proxy, HLS manifest, key, and segment requests are routed through the configured proxy endpoint for testing.
Information you provide
You may paste stream URLs, playlist URLs, Referer values, User-Agent values, or upload local files into the browser. Local files are processed in the browser. Remote URLs are fetched by your browser, or by the optional proxy when you enable it.
Local browser storage
The site may store preferences such as theme, recent streams, favorites, proxy settings, and bookmark prompt state in localStorage. This data stays in your browser and can be cleared through your browser settings.
Analytics and infrastructure
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and may use Cloudflare Web Analytics when configured. Cloudflare and similar infrastructure providers may process technical request data needed to deliver the site, operate security features, and produce aggregated usage metrics.
How information is used
Information is used to operate the tools, remember local preferences, debug failures you report, improve reliability, respond to contact emails, and protect the site from abuse.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that host, secure, analyze, or deliver the site, or disclosed when required by law.
Your choices
You can avoid the proxy, clear localStorage, use private browsing, block analytics where your browser allows it, and contact us about privacy requests at the support email.
Children
The site is not directed to children. If you believe a child provided personal information through a contact email, contact us so we can review the request.
Changes
We may update this policy as the product changes. The updated date on this page shows the latest revision.
