Security Policy

Supported Packaging and Distribution Methods

Popcorn only supports Flatpak officially, any other packaging methods might not behave as expected. Thus, official security-related support is only provided to the Flatpak distribution as of right now. This may be subject to change in the future.


Data Handling

Library

  • Any data related to the user's library, history and playback is handled by the server and thus is out of the scope of Popcorn.

Telemetry

  • Popcorn does not include any telemetry.

Password

  • The password needed for connecting to a server is stored securely using the library libsecret which handles passwords in the device's keyring.

What Popcorn Will Never Do

  • Share library information outside of server - client interactions
  • Collect usage data
  • Facilitate content piracy
