Privacy in TMPlayer Web
TMPlayer Web is TMPlayer in your browser: a player for the videos already in your own Telegram chats. It is unofficial and not affiliated with Telegram. It is a static site: there is no server of ours between your browser and Telegram, and nothing you watch, nor your account, reaches us.
What talks to what
- Your browser talks to Telegram directly, over Telegram's own encrypted protocol, through TDLib (Telegram's own library) running in the page.
- web.tmplayer.org only serves the app's files, as any website does. Its host (Vercel) sees the requests for those files, as with any website, and nothing else.
- If you turn on online artwork or subtitles in Settings, the page asks those services (TMDB, TVmaze, OpenSubtitles) directly, with the title it is looking for.
What is kept in your browser
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Your Telegram session, and TDLib's copy of your chats and messages | This browser's IndexedDB, for this site only |
| Parts of the videos you played, so they open again without downloading | This browser's private file storage (OPFS); cleared with the site's data |
| Settings, where you stopped in each video, your Watched list | This browser's local storage |
| The app's own files, so it opens offline | This browser's cache |
None of it leaves the browser. Your browser may remove it when space runs short, unless the app has asked to keep it (an installed app does). Clearing this site's data in the browser removes all of it and signs you out of this browser.
On a shared computer
Anyone who uses this browser profile after you can open your chats here. Sign out from Settings when you are done, or end the session from Telegram on your phone: Settings, Devices, where this browser is listed as "Web" with its name. From there you can also end every other session at once.
What we collect
Nothing. The web app has no analytics and no crash reporting of its own. If that changes, it will be said here first, and it will be off until you turn it on.
