📺 Slides to TV — Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026 · Applies to the slidestotv.com service, the Slides to TV app for Android TV, and the Raspberry Pi players we provide, operated by Compliance Coaches LLC ("we," "us").

The short version

Slides to TV shows an organization's own announcement slides on its own televisions. We collect the minimum needed to run that service. We show no ads, use no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, and never sell personal information or share it for advertising.

Who is responsible for what

Slides to TV is used by organizations — businesses, churches, posts, clinics and others. Each organization decides what to put into the service, who gets an account, and what its TVs show. For that information we act as a service provider on the organization's behalf. If you are a member, staff person or volunteer of an organization, please send privacy requests about your organization's content to that organization first; we will help it respond. Please do not put patient, resident or client personal information, or other sensitive personal data, into slides.

What the TV app collects

• A random device identifier — a made-up code (UUID) the app invents on first launch so our server can tell TVs apart. It is not tied to any person and contains no hardware serial numbers.
• Pairing and status information — the pairing code shown on screen, which organization claimed the TV, app version, uptime, and free storage space, so the organization's dashboard can show whether its TV is online and healthy.
• Playback counts — which slides actually displayed and how many times per day ("proof of play"), so organizations can confirm their announcements ran.
• IP addresses — received automatically by our server whenever any device connects to it, and kept in routine server logs.

The TV app does not collect names, emails, contacts, location, photos, microphone or camera data — it has no access to any of those.

What the website collects

• Account details for organization members: name, email address, and a securely hashed password.
• The content your organization uploads: slides, artwork, logos, and the event details typed into the slide creator.
• Service emails — we send approval notifications, password resets, and screen-offline alerts to addresses your organization's administrators added.
• Sign-in records — when a member signs in to the dashboard we record the time, the IP address, the type of device and browser, and an approximate city worked out from the IP address. We use these to keep accounts secure (for example, to notice a login being shared or used from somewhere unexpected) and to support members.
• Dashboard usage — which dashboard pages a member opens and the changes they make (for example, saving a slide or marking a menu item sold out), so we can support members and improve the service. This is recorded by our own software on our own servers; it is not shared with any analytics or advertising company.

Other information some features collect

• Staff "I read this" sign-offs — when someone scans a sign-off QR code on a slide, the name they type (and their department or unit, if they enter one) is saved with the slide and the time, so their organization can see who read it. We do not verify the name.
• QR codes and scan pages — we count scans and taps (and whether the phone was an iPhone or Android, worked out from the browser's user-agent). We do not store who scanned, and we do not use cookies to track people across sites.
• Demo requests — when you ask for a demo on slidestotv.com, we save what you type (your name, business, type of business, phone, email, how many TVs, the best time to reach you and your note) and an approximate city worked out from the IP address. We use it only to call or email you about your demo; we do not text these numbers, add them to a mailing list, or share them.
• Links in our sales emails — when we email a business about Slides to TV, the link in that email may be made just for that business. If someone opens it, we record when, which slidestotv.com pages they read, the type of device, and an approximate city worked out from the IP address (we do not store the IP address itself). A first-party cookie on slidestotv.com remembers that browser for about four months so the pages it reads are counted. This is recorded by our own software; it is not shared with any analytics or advertising company, and it is not used anywhere else on the web.
• Visits to slidestotv.com — when someone reads a page on our public website, we count which pages were read, the website or link that sent them there (for example a search engine or social media), the type of device, and an approximate city worked out from the IP address (we do not store the IP address itself). The pages of one visit are grouped by a random number kept only in that browser tab, which is cleared when the tab closes; no cookie is used for this. This is counted by our own software and is not shared with any analytics or advertising company.
• Sponsor and advertiser contacts — if an organization adds a sponsor's email address, we use it only to send that sponsor its monthly proof report.
• Raspberry Pi players — players we provide report device health (for example, temperature, power and network status) so the organization can see problems on its Screens page. Remote support on these players is described in our Remote Support Policy.
• Billing — the billing contact, plan, and payment records for an organization. If you pay by card, card details are handled by the payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.

Approximate locations come from a database stored on our own servers — IP addresses are not sent to anyone to look them up. This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from https://www.maxmind.com.

How information is used

Only to operate the service: displaying your slides on your screens, showing your dashboard, and sending the service emails above. We do not advertise, profile, sell, or rent personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except the service providers below. Data is stored on servers we rent and control at a commercial hosting provider.

Service providers

Like nearly every online service, we rely on a small number of providers to run Slides to TV, and they process data only on our instructions to provide the service:

• Hosting — our servers and databases run at a commercial hosting provider.
• Email delivery (Google) — service emails (password resets, approval and screen-offline notices, monthly reports, sponsor reports) are sent through Google's email service.
• AI features (OpenAI) — when someone uses an AI feature, what that feature needs is sent to OpenAI: the slide's text for AI artwork (and, if provided, a public event-page description); the flyer photo when reading a flyer; the words when tidying text; an imported slide's picture when re-reading it; and a finished poster when checking its spelling. Account passwords and member lists are never sent.
• QR code images (goQR.me) — to draw some QR code pictures, the web address inside the code is sent to the goQR.me QR service. No personal data is included.
• Remote support (Raspberry Pi Ltd) — remote support on our Raspberry Pi players runs through Raspberry Pi Connect; see the Remote Support Policy.
• App distribution (Google Play) — the Android TV app is distributed through Google Play, which has its own privacy terms.
• Weather (Open-Meteo) — if your organization turns on the clock-and-weather corner, your organization's town or zip code (never any personal data) is used to fetch the local temperature.

None of these providers may use your data for their own advertising, and we do not use any third-party analytics or tracking SDKs on the website or in the app.

How we protect information

Connections to the service use HTTPS encryption. Passwords are stored only as secure one-way hashes. TV player devices authenticate with random tokens that your administrators can revoke instantly from the dashboard, and each organization's content and data are kept separated from every other organization's. No online service can promise perfect security, but access to production systems is restricted to the people who operate the service. If we learn of a security incident that affects an organization's personal information, we will notify that organization's administrators without undue delay and as the law requires.

Data retention and deletion

• Disconnecting a TV in the dashboard immediately invalidates that device's access. Uninstalling the app deletes everything stored on the TV.
• Organization administrators can remove slides, members, and screens at any time in the dashboard.
• Playback ("proof of play") logs are kept for a limited period that your organization's administrator can configure, then purged automatically.
• Sign-in records and dashboard usage records are kept for about 13 months, then deleted automatically.
• Demo requests are kept until we remove them or you ask us to delete yours.
• Visit records from sales-email links are kept for about 13 months, then deleted automatically — or sooner, when we remove that business from our list.
• Sign-offs, scan counts and sponsor contacts are kept until your organization deletes them or closes its account.
• Deleted slides sit in the trash for 30 days so mistakes can be undone, then are removed.
• When an organization closes its account, we delete its content within 30 days after any requested export, except records we must keep by law (such as billing records). Server backups roll off on their normal schedule.
• To request deletion of an account or an entire organization and its content, email TV@slidestotv.com — we will confirm and complete deletion within 30 days.

Your rights and choices

You may ask us at any time to show you, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and we will honor the request within 30 days as the law requires. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in U.S. state privacy laws, so there is nothing to opt out of. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Children

Slides to TV is a business tool for organizations and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children; if you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

Any changes to this policy will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date; material changes will be highlighted on the dashboard or by email.
