Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
Most privacy policies are written by lawyers for lawyers. This one is written for the person who just wants to know what happens to their data when they use this site and this app. So let’s just say it plainly.
The Short Version
The CloudStream app collects nothing about you. No account. No login. No analytics. No data sent anywhere.
This website collects basic, anonymous data to understand how the site is being used, nothing that identifies you personally.
That’s genuinely it. Everything below is just the details behind those two sentences.
About the App — What It Does and Doesn’t Collect
CloudStream is an open-source media player. The code is publicly available on GitHub under a GPL-3.0 license; anyone can read exactly what it does and doesn’t do.
The app does not:
- Ask for your name, email, or any personal information
- Create or require an account of any kind
- Track what you watch, when you watch, or how long
- Send analytics to any server
- run ads or share data with advertisers
- Store your data anywhere outside your own device
Your watch history, downloads, and preferences stay entirely on your device. Nothing leaves it. No one at this site, or anywhere else, has access to what you do inside the app.
About This Website — What We Collect
When you visit cloudstreamdownload.com, standard web server data is collected automatically. This includes:
- IP address — used to determine approximate region for analytics, not stored against your identity
- Browser type and version — helps us understand which browsers visitors use
- Pages visited and time spent — helps us improve the site structure
- Referring URL — where you came from before landing here
This data is collected through standard analytics tools and is not linked to any personal identity. We don’t sell it. We don’t share it with advertisers. It exists so we can understand whether the site is actually useful to people.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Not the kind that follow you around the internet, just the kind that keep the site functioning properly.
Essential cookies — these keep the site working. Can’t be turned off.
Analytics cookies – these help us understand traffic patterns. You can block these in your browser settings without breaking anything on the site.
No advertising cookies are used. No third-party tracking pixels. No retargeting.
Third-Party Links
The site links to GitHub, the Downloader app, Blue Stacks, and other external resources. Once you leave this site, their privacy policy applies, not ours. We’d recommend checking those separately if you’re concerned.
Your Rights
Depending on where you are in the world, you may have the right to:
- Ask what data we hold about you
- Request deletion of any data
- Opt out of analytics tracking
Since we collect minimal data and nothing personally identifiable, most of these requests result in “we don’t have anything on you”, but you’re welcome to ask. Reach us through the contact page
A Note on VPNs
The app itself is private by design, no tracking, no data collection. But the sources you stream from through CloudStream repositories are third-party servers across the internet. If privacy while streaming matters to you, using a VPN is worth considering. It hides your IP address from those third-party sources and keeps your activity private from your internet provider.
We don’t sell or recommend a specific VPN; that’s your call. Just worth knowing the option exists.
Copyright & DMCA
CloudStream, as an app, does not host any content. It connects to sources already publicly available on the internet through its extension and repository system. This is consistent with the position outlined in the official GitHub repository under the reCloudStream organization.
If you are a copyright owner and have concerns about specific extensions or content sources, the appropriate contact is the CloudStream GitHub organization directly, as extensions are community-built and not operated by this site. For more information about how we handle user data and website information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
If this privacy policy changes, the “Last Updated” date at the top changes with it. We won’t bury updates, anything significant gets noted clearly.
