Pelican privacy policy

Pelican is a private companion app for one household's self-hosted Jellyfin media server. It is not a public service and has no users outside that household.

What the app collects

• Your Jellyfin username and password, sent once to the household's pygmy server over HTTPS to sign you in. The password is not stored on the phone; a session cookie is, so you stay signed in.
• Which items you subscribed to and which you have watched. Watched state is reported back to the Jellyfin server so it stays in sync with your other devices.
• Downloaded video files, kept in the app's private storage on the phone and deleted when watched or when you sign out or uninstall.

What it does not do

• No analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.
• No data is shared with any third party. The only server the app talks to is the household's own pygmy/Jellyfin server.
• No access to contacts, location, photos or other device data.

Deleting your data

Signing out removes the session and downloaded files; uninstalling removes everything on the phone. Server-side account data is managed by the household's Jellyfin administrator.
