Privacy policy
Tellygram is an independent app made by Comfy Co. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or part of Telegram. It is a third-party client that uses Telegram's open API. "Telegram" is a trademark of its respective owner.
Summary

- Comfy Co. does not collect, store or sell your messages, contacts, videos or Telegram account details.
- Your Telegram session stays in private storage on your TV until you log out.
- Issue reports are only sent if you choose to email them.

2. Camera and microphone
Tellygram asks for camera and microphone permission only for:
- the local camera & mic test, which shows a preview and a volume level on the TV and records nothing, and
- voice and video calls (Premium, where available), where audio and video are sent to the person you are calling through Telegram's calling network.
Tellygram does not record, save or upload camera images or audio anywhere else.
3. Advertising
Free users see short video ad breaks. Ads are delivered by the Google Interactive Media Ads (IMA) SDK and Google Ad Manager. When an ad is shown, Google may receive device and network information such as your IP address, device type and the advertising ID, to deliver and measure the ad. See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Tellygram requests non-personalised ads. It never sends your chat names, messages, video filenames or Telegram IDs to any advertising provider. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your TV's Google settings.
Our website
comfycoapps.com uses Google AdSense, which may use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads. Visitors in the UK and EEA are asked for consent where required. See how Google uses cookies in advertising.
4. Purchases
Planned Premium purchases will be processed by Google Play. Comfy Co. receives confirmation that a purchase is valid, but not your payment card details.
5. Issue reports
Settings → Report an issue opens an email draft to comfyco@proton.me, or a QR code to send it from your phone. Nothing is sent automatically. You can review the report first and choose whether to include diagnostics: app and Android version, TV model, free storage and the latest crash trace. Diagnostics never include chats, account details, camera images or audio.
We use reports only to fix problems. We keep them for as long as needed to resolve the issue, and delete them on request.
6. Children
Tellygram is not directed at children under 13, and anyone using it must meet Telegram's minimum age for their country.
7. Deleting your data
- On the TV: Settings → Log out on this TV removes your session, watch history, watchlist and drafts. Uninstalling Tellygram removes everything it stored.
- Your Telegram account: managed by Telegram. Logging out of Tellygram does not delete your Telegram messages.
- Issue reports: email comfyco@proton.me to have any report you sent deleted.
8. Security
Your Telegram connection uses Telegram's encrypted protocol. Your session is kept in app-private storage that other apps cannot read.
9. Changes
We will post any changes to this policy on this page and update the effective date.
