Bland Productions LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "our") operates The Bland Network, accessible at blandtv.com and blandnetwork.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
When you access the Service, we may automatically collect:
| Data Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| IP Address | Geolocation for local channel delivery, security, analytics | 30 days |
| Device/Browser Info | Compatibility, performance optimization | 30 days |
| Pages/Channels Viewed | Service improvement, channel popularity | 90 days |

| Date/Time of Access | Analytics, troubleshooting | 30 days |
The Service uses IP-based geolocation to determine your approximate location (city, state/region, country) in order to deliver region-appropriate content, including local news channels and local radio stations. This geolocation is performed server-side using your IP address and a third-party geolocation service (ip-api.com). We do not request or access your device's precise GPS location. Geolocation results are cached temporarily on the server and are not stored permanently or associated with any personal profile.

We use automatically collected information to:
The Service embeds or links to content from third-party providers. When you view a stream, your device connects directly to the third-party provider's servers. These providers may collect their own data according to their own privacy policies, which we do not control. Third-party services used by the Service include but are not limited to:
The Bland Network does not set cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. The Service may use minimal browser local storage or session storage for functional purposes only, such as remembering your last played channel or volume preference. Our content delivery and security providers may set strictly necessary cookies as part of CDN and DDoS protection services — these are not used for tracking.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may disclose information in the following circumstances:
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Automatically collected data (server logs, IP addresses) is retained for no more than 90 days and is then deleted or anonymized. Geolocation cache data is retained for the duration of your session only. We do not maintain long-term profiles of individual users.
The Bland Network is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The Kids section of the Service contains age-appropriate content but does not collect any personal information. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete such information promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
Since we do not collect personally identifiable information or require accounts, most data rights requests will not be applicable. For any privacy-related requests, contact [email protected].
If you are a California resident, you have the right to: (i) know what personal information we collect and how it is used; (ii) request deletion of your personal information; (iii) opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, these rights are substantively addressed by our minimal data collection practices described above.
If you access the Service from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the legal basis for processing your data is our legitimate interest in providing and improving the Service. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, most GDPR data subject requests will not be applicable.
The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers. Our global content delivery network may process your requests at edge locations worldwide.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be effective upon posting to the Service with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
