Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 24, 2026
See also the Terms of Use.
OmniFlux Player is a desktop app. It has no server and no user accounts of its own, and it collects no analytics or telemetry. Everything it stores stays on your computer, in %APPDATA%\OmniFlux Player.
What stays on your computer
- Your library catalog: folder paths, file names, and the posters and details fetched for them.
- Settings, playlists, listening history and recommendations. History and recommendations are computed locally and never uploaded.
- Sign-in tokens for services you connect (Google Drive). They are used only to talk to that service directly.
- A cache of parts of Drive files you have watched. You can clear it in Settings.
What is sent to third parties, and why
OmniFlux talks directly to these services. Each one's own privacy policy applies.
| Service | What is sent | When |
|---|---|---|
| TMDB (themoviedb.org) | Titles and years parsed from your file names; your search queries | Building the library, the home screen, and search |
| Wikipedia / Wikidata | Titles, for Hebrew names and posters | Building the library |
| Groq (api.groq.com) | File names the app could not parse on its own | Building the library, only if enabled at build time |
| Google Drive | Read-only requests for folders you add | Only after you connect Drive |
| Apple (iTunes) | Your music search words and your country, to get the music catalogue (top, new releases, search results) and 30-second previews | Opening the Music screen or searching for music |
| YouTube (Google) | Movie trailers play in the official embedded YouTube player, which loads from YouTube like any embed | Watching a trailer |
| SubDL, LRCLIB | The title of what you're playing | When you look for subtitles or lyrics |
| GitHub | A request for the latest version | Checking for updates |
With Local content only (Settings) on, OmniFlux stops sending searches, and shows only what you added yourself.
YouTube
OmniFlux plays movie trailers in the official embedded YouTube player. By watching a trailer you are also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
- What is sent: nothing from OmniFlux itself. The embedded player loads from YouTube like any YouTube embed, and YouTube may set its own cookies or identifiers.
- What is stored: OmniFlux does not call the YouTube Data API, does not search YouTube and keeps no YouTube data on your computer.
- No YouTube account access: OmniFlux does not sign in to YouTube and never accesses your YouTube account, history or private playlists.
Music links
The “where to listen” page opens a link to Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Deezer or another service in your browser or app. Nothing is sent to those services until you click, and then your browser or app talks to them directly.
Google user data
When you connect Google Drive, OmniFlux asks for drive.readonly. It uses it only to list and stream the media files in folders you choose. That data is never sent anywhere except between your computer and Google, is never stored on any server, is never used for advertising, and is never shared with or sold to anyone. OmniFlux's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
To revoke access at any time, disconnect in Settings or go to myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Children
OmniFlux is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.
