Privacy
Last updated: July 26, 2026
MultiStreamer is an app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV that lets you watch multiple Twitch streams simultaneously. Your privacy matters, and this policy explains what data the app accesses and how it is handled. It covers all four Apple platforms; the features that differ between them are called out under Platform Differences below.
When you sign in with your Twitch account, the app receives and stores the following information locally on your device:
This data is used solely to authenticate with the Twitch API so the app can load your followed streams, display live content, and connect to chat.
Authentication tokens, your Twitch profile information, and app preferences are stored locally on your device using the system's UserDefaults storage. They are not persisted on our servers.
The only data we persist on our own servers is the aggregate usage record described under Analytics and Tracking below: a signed-in user's Twitch user ID paired with the date of use and which Apple platform the app was running on, used to produce simple usage counts.
The app communicates with Twitch's APIs (api.twitch.tv and id.twitch.tv) to authenticate your account, retrieve your followed channels, and load stream data. The app also connects to Twitch's IRC chat servers when you view a stream so chat can be displayed. Your use of Twitch is subject to Twitch's Privacy Policy.
Chat emotes and badges are loaded from BetterTTV, 7TV, and FrankerFaceZ. These requests contain only the channel identifier needed to fetch that channel's emotes, and no authentication credentials are sent to these services.
MultiStreamer offers an optional Pro in-app purchase that unlocks additional features, such as a higher simultaneous stream count. All purchase processing is handled by Apple via StoreKit. MultiStreamer does not receive your payment details or any personal information from the transaction. Apple provides only a verified receipt confirming that you own the purchase.
MultiStreamer does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or cross-app tracking frameworks, and does not access the Advertising Identifier (IDFA).
For basic usage monitoring, our backend records a minimal aggregate count: when a signed-in account connects, we store its Twitch user ID together with the calendar date and which platform the app was running on. This lets us display simple totals such as how many people are using MultiStreamer now and how many unique users there have been over time. We do not store what you watch, your chat activity, your IP address, or any browsing behavior, and this data is never used for advertising or shared with third parties. Anyone who is not signed in is not recorded.
The app can continue playing stream audio when it is in the background or your device is locked. This uses the standard iOS background audio capability and does not collect or transmit any additional data. Background audio is one of the features included with Pro.
MultiStreamer includes a tvOS Top Shelf extension to surface your followed channels on the Apple TV home screen. The extension reads the same locally stored Twitch credentials as the main app through a shared App Group container (group.com.lucidic.multistreamer); no additional data is collected or transmitted.
Where the app supports sending chat, your Twitch username and OAuth token are used to authenticate with Twitch's IRC servers. Messages are sent directly to Twitch and are never routed through the MultiStreamer backend.
Your data is never sold, shared with, or transferred to third parties, except as required to communicate with the Twitch API on your behalf and with the emote and badge services listed above.
You can remove all stored data at any time by signing out within the app or by deleting the app from your device. This immediately removes all locally stored credentials and account information.
The aggregate usage record described above is not stored on your device. You can request its deletion by emailing us at the address below.
MultiStreamer does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app requires a Twitch account, which has its own age requirements.
If this policy is updated, the revised version will be posted at this URL with an updated date.
