Terms of service
These terms are an agreement between you and Golku ("we", "us") for the Golku app and the golku.com website. By creating an account or using the app you accept them.
What Golku is
Golku is a video player. It plays an IPTV subscription that you get from a provider of your choice, using the Xtream Codes details or M3U link they give you. We do not sell, host, stream, relay or recommend any channels, films or shows, and we have no relationship with your provider. Artwork, ratings and cast details come from public catalogues such as TMDb, and sports schedules from public sports data.
Your responsibilities
- You are responsible for the IPTV subscription you add, and for having the right to watch what it carries where you live.
- Keep your email account secure: anyone who can read your email can sign in to your Golku account.
- Don't use Golku to break the law, to attack or overload our service or anyone else's, or to resell access to it.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.
Trial, subscription and cancelling
- A new account gets a free trial of 7 days from its first sign-in, with no card needed. When it ends, the app asks you to subscribe.
- Subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly in advance through Stripe, and renew automatically until you cancel. If you subscribe during the trial, the first payment is taken when the trial ends.
- You can cancel at any time from golku.com/login (Manage or cancel). Your plan stays active to the end of the period you paid for, then does not renew. Periods already paid are not refunded, except where the law says otherwise.
- We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice by email; the new price applies from your next renewal.
The service
We work to keep Golku running well, but it is provided "as is". Whether a channel or film plays depends on your provider and your internet connection, which we don't control. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
Changes
We may update these terms. If a change matters to you, we will email you before it applies. Using Golku after that means you accept the new terms.
Privacy policy
We collect only what Golku needs to work. We don't show ads, and we don't sell or share your data for advertising.
What we keep
- Your email address, to sign you in with a code and to send messages about your account.
- Your IPTV line (server address, username and password, or playlist link). It is stored encrypted and used only so your TVs can connect to your provider.
- Your profiles, Continue Watching and My List, so they follow you from TV to TV.
- Signed-in devices: a session for each TV, phone or computer you sign in on.
- Your subscription: its plan, status and renewal date. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach us.
Your TV connects to your provider directly. The streams you watch don't pass through our servers, and we don't keep a record of what you watch beyond Continue Watching.
Who processes it for us
- Cloudflare runs our servers and stores account data.
- Stripe takes payments.
- Resend sends the sign-in emails.
- TMDb supplies artwork and details for titles; we look them up by title, not by who you are.
- An AI service reads provider category and channel names (never anything about you) to tidy titles and match games to channels.
Bolt TV accounts
If you used Bolt TV with the same email, your first Golku sign-in copies your line, profiles and watch history from Bolt TV so you don't start over.
Your choices
You can change your line or sign out from golku.com/login at any time. To get a copy of your data or to delete your account and everything in it, email support@golku.com from the address you sign in with. We delete account data within 30 days of a request; Stripe keeps payment records as the law requires.
