Zero-access playlist encryption

Not even ChannelMate can read your encrypted playlist credentials

Your browser

URLs, M3U, credentials, PIN

Unreadable encrypted data

ChannelMate server

No decryption key

For encrypted uploads, playlist URLs, uploaded M3U files, Xtream credentials, EPG URLs and PINs are encrypted in your browser before they reach our server. The server receives only unreadable ciphertext. We do not hold the private key, so we cannot decrypt, view or reuse your playlist. Only the matching ChannelMate app installation can unlock it. The encrypted assignment stays available for Reload until replaced or deleted; delivery and 24 hours are not deletion deadlines.

Older-app compatibility uploads are stored in readable form and are excluded from this encryption promise. If a compatibility warning appears, upgrade the app before uploading.
